Laridae - Undergraduate Research Journal

Laridae, the Latin name for the family of birds that includes seagulls, features published works from undergraduate students across campus.

In fall 2019, Salisbury University celebrated the launch of the first undergraduate student research journal in its history: Laridae. Created to complement and highlight the great works produced by SU’s undergraduate student body, Laridae is a vehicle for the dissemination of new knowledge and perspectives across Salisbury’s campus.
