Publishing - Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Laurier Undergraduate Journal of the Arts (LUJA) is an annual academic publication that is run exclusively by undergraduate students at Wilfrid Laurier University. Our goal is to publish the best undergraduate work from across Canada in both print and web formats. In a 2017 research project, involvement in LUJA, whether as an author, management board member, editor or reviewer, was proven to increase acceptances into further education programs, as well as the ability to get jobs after graduation. Our goal for the next fiscal year (2018-2019) is to grow the journal and create opportunities for even more students to get involved, including an academic conference and a smaller online volume of the journal to compliment the main, annual print publication.
