Our academic community is excited to introduce PRISM – Promoting Research, Interdisciplinary Sharing, and Modern Trends – a bilingual scholarly platform that will serve as a dynamic window into the cutting-edge work happening within our academic departments. True to its acronym, PRISM will refract academic knowledge, revealing the multifaceted nature of scholarly research across diverse disciplines and perspectives. Published biannually, PRISM will feature original content in both English and Spanish, with each article developed independently in both languages to ensure authentic representation of our multicultural academic community. By presenting scholarly achievements in their original linguistic contexts, we empower our academic community by providing an unparalleled platform for intellectual discovery, where students gain insights into cutting-edge research, faculty share transformative scholarly work, and community stakeholders connect with the innovative spirit of our institution.
PRISM will offer a rich tapestry of academic content, including research articles, compelling creative writing, an engaging faculty spotlight section that delves into the personal and professional journeys of our distinguished professors, thought-provoking Op-Ed pieces that provide critical perspectives on academic and social issues, and comprehensive highlights of our campus’s scholarly activities. Through PRISM, we invite our readers—students, faculty, staff, and community members—to explore, engage, and be inspired by the dynamic intellectual landscape of our Metro Orlando Campus.
Warmly,
