The Uni High Research Journal is a STEM and Humanities nonfiction academic journal in which all Uni students can submit their own writings. You will be able to submit class work or your own work as long as it meets the guidelines and requirements. You also must fill out the necessary information in the submission form. Decisions on which submissions were accepted will be sent out around April 2026. The two "best submissions" will be chosen when submissions close — one for STEM and one for Humanities (history, psychology, and so on). Awards will be given out for the top entry in each respective category.

One of Uni's journalism classes is making a Spotify-inspired "Uni Wrapped!" to showcase the favorites of Uni students and faculty for the past year. Please fill out the form here and share it to your friends! The results will be published on the Uni High Gargoyle website and Instagram.
