The Arbutus Review • Fall 2015 • Vol. 6, No. 1 The Arbutus Review is produced by the Learning and Teaching Centre at the University of Victoria. The Arbutus Review was created to showcase the articles, projects, and installations that result from the Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Award (JCURA) program. JCURA was instituted in 2009 as the Undergraduate Research Scholarship program by the then Vice- President Academic and Provost, and current University president, Dr. Jamie Cassels. It was designed to support and create truly formative learning experiences for exceptional undergraduate students who might not otherwise obtain direct research experience. The LTC administers the award nomination process on behalf of the Provost’s Office. In addition to submission that were the result of JCURA research, The Arbutus Review publishes other exceptional work from departments across campus. 1 The Arbutus Review • Fall 2015 • Vol. 6, No. 1 Acknowledgments Each of the articles published in this journal is sponsored by a faculty member at the University of Victoria.
