Continuum, the Capital Scholars Honors Journal, is a showcase of high quality composition and a variety of creative works produced by the Capital Scholars Honors undergraduate students at the University of Illinois Springfield. We strongly endorse efforts that challenge the standards of mainstream thought.  Submissions include book reviews, essays, research papers, poetry, song lyrics, instrumentals, photographs, and various works of art, to name a few. At this beginning stage in our development, our peer evaluation process relies on identification of quality submissions, rather than a rigorous editing process. We hope you enjoy our collection of student work.
