Aquila: The FGCU Student Research Journal publishes exceptional student scholarship from all academic disciplines and levels of study at Florida Gulf Coast University. Student scholarship stands at the heart of university life and is one of the most rewarding ways for students to contribute to their field of study, but it also expands their personal knowledge and academic growth. The Editorial Board of Aquila encourages students to participate in this exciting endeavor and share their ideas and findings with scholars inside and outside their discipline to enrich the community.
