The journal\u2019s staff not only produces a print edition, but also maintains a blog, hosts events and conducts interviews with undergraduates and faculty around campus.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cOur initial goal was to publish every semester. We were only able to publish once last year, but this year we\u2019re publishing in the spring as well,\u201d said Michael Chen, a fourth-year chemistry major and Tower editor-in-chief. \u201cWe also hope to be a bigger presence on campus. We\u2019re doing some of that with the Undergraduate Research Kaleidoscope, which we hope to make a casual research presentation for all to come to.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Undergraduate Research Kaleidoscope (URK) takes place once a semester in a format with presenters giving quick overviews of their research in a casual setting, usually with something edible to complement the presentations. More than 50 people attended the last event in the spring, and the fall URK is planned for the Wednesday, Dec. 7, during the week preceding final exams.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EChen will step down from his post as editor-in-chief in May, but finds gratifying the progress made during his tenure with the publication and the interest generated among students.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cBeing able to solicit submissions and actually get them, that makes me really proud \u2014 that people see The Tower as a place to submit their work,\u201d he said.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESubmissions to The Tower are accepted on a rolling basis and can be in the form of articles, dispatches, perspectives or synopses. The journal also continually accepts applications to be involved on its staff.
