2021 Cover of Discovery

The Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food, and Life Sciences shares faculty with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, some of whom help guide student research.

Check out Discovery journal for the latest in student work.  

Discovery is an avenue for Bumpers College to highlight and publish original research and independent creative projects conducted by undergraduate Bumpers students in cooperation with a faculty mentor, or in other words Discovery is mainly an avenue to publish the Honors and research projects of students (or student teams) who undertake original, creative, and innovative independent research. Expectations are that the student(s) has gone above and beyond the requirements of literature reviews and is generating a new contribution to the field/discipline.
