2025-2026 iJournal Executive Board

We provide a platform for students to share thought pieces, research, opinions, and creative works that explore ideas at the intersection of technology, information, and society. Our mission is to amplify student voices, inspire collaboration, and advance interdisciplinary conversations. We hope to challenge assumptions, promote equity, and envision a more informed, connected, and fair world.

We encourage undergraduate students of all identities across all disciplines to submit written works that align with our mission. Opportunities to submit written works to iJournal will open up every quarter to ensure students have as many chances at being published as possible. If you are interested in getting involved, check out our Instagram page for open positions during the fall quarter!
