As the undergraduate research journal of The Catholic University of America, our publication is committed to recording the history of undergraduate research at this university and highlighting the outstanding academic work that undergraduate students at Catholic University produce. This publication is more than merely a collection of academic writing; it is a celebration of the best and the brightest students this university has to offer. As you explore the profound ideas contained in past issues of Inventio, consider submitting your own work for future issues, or for our sub-publication, Aspectus, which publishes shorter pieces of academic writing, and become a part of the diverse academic community that is present at Catholic University. 

Sincerely,

Griffin Cappiello, Assistant Editor (Center)

Inventio is a wonderful place where people come together to collaborate and build something meaningful. Whether you are a published author, staff member, or reader of the journal, we are all taking part in the creation and dissemination of thoughtful scholarship and original ideas. Through this shared work and each publication, we add to the larger conversations happening not only on our campus but also in the broader academic community. I cannot imagine a better way to uphold the ideals of academic excellence that define the Catholic University community. I am so grateful to be a part of this effort in my role on the Student Editorial Board, and I look forward to its continued growth in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Mia Beldner, Managing Editor & Layout Editor (Left)
