are proud to offer a publication that showcases the work of the brightest up and comingminds in the United States. As one of the most selective schools in the world, Harvard Collegeconsistently recruits the most talented and promising future scientists, mathematicians, socialscientists, and economists.

Each year, thousands of Harvard undergraduates undertake research projects in laboratories,clinics, in the field, with professors, top researchers, and research institutions. They foray intofields ranging from microfluidics to the mathematical theory of voting, dedicating time, en-ergy, and creativity to their intellectual pursuits. Our goal is to expose the world to their work and to showcase the discoveries happening everyday on Harvard’s campus.

The authors featured in this journal go through a competitive review process in which theirwork is judged and fine-tuned by world-class researchers. Their work is undertaken in Har-vard-affiliated centers all around the world. The work published in this journal often becomesthe basis for larger intellectual undertakings and authors go on to top-grade graduate pro-grams and professional careers.

We hope that you view your sponsorship of this journal as a sponsorship of intellectual pur-suits. Your sponsorship could help establish the foundations for fruitful and prolific careers.

We look forward to speaking with you and together helping some of the nation’s brightestsee their work in print— perhaps for the very first time. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions— we are always looking for new ideas and truly ap-preciate your interest.
