The UMRA-sponsored Journal of Opinions, Ideas & Essays, an e-publication launched in 2013, boasts a wide variety of articles and videos authored by University retirees and alumni. The editorial committee members—Lynda Ellis, laboratory medicine and pathology; Edward Griffin, English; Jo Prouty, applied economics; and Kris Bettin, neuroscience—are dedicated to the success of the journal. 

We need an editor-in-chief who can promote the journal, solicit authors, and ensure JOIE’s continued success. If you are interested in leading JOIE, or just have questions, please email Kris Bettin to learn more.

Although we are seeking an editor-in-chief, JOIE is currently accepting submissions.
