The Lookout is a journal of undergraduate research and creative writing dedicated to showcasing the writing prowess of students from all disciplines at East Carolina University. This journal includes research papers, literary analysis papers, poems, and creative writing from various students in different disciplines at East Carolina University. In addition to writings, this issue includes a record number of pieces from students, more than has ever been included in this journal before which is very exciting. As a part of the editorial staff, our roles include designing the journal and logo, editing each piece submitted, and communicating with the authors who submitted papers. In an effort to showcase all forms of writing and expression, our team changed The Lookout from a simple research journal to one that knows no literary or artistic bounds.
