Call for papers! Contribute your scholarly work to The Capsule, CAP’s student journal!

The Capsule is a student-led, student-focused academic journal that is preparing its second issue for publication over the summer. The editorial board is looking to publish the best CAP student work from the 2022-23 academic year. A record of our time in first-year, the journal’s interdisciplinary focus brings streams together to celebrate the larger CAP community, and works to influence and inspire future CAP students.

Interested students should explore last year’s journal and submit their favourite work from any of their CAP courses to the.capsule@ubc.ca by Sunday, April 30. Selected papers will go through an editorial process that will require contributors to communicate with the editorial board and revise their work over the summer. Contributors are expected to revise their papers based on instructor feedback and to discuss their papers with instructors and/or TAs in advance of submission.

CAP Year in Review: We are also interested in 1000-word REVIEWS of CAPCON, Community-Engaged Learning Activities including but not limited to the Community Talks events, and other CAP-based events that you may have attended and reviewed this year.

Not only is this an exciting opportunity to have your work published in our undergraduate student journal, being featured will also look great on your resumé. Don’t miss out on a chance to be featured in our second issue!
