Letter from the Editor

Community and Technical College Education Community, I'm pleased to present the Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) Volume 3 Issue 2 on behalf of the J ATE Editorial Board and Staff. This issue's theme is community college students. Many of the articles published in this issue were written by community college students based on their undergraduate research. This year, J ATE was engaged in a professional development project called J ATE URE, the Journal of Advanced Technological Education Undergraduate Research Experience. The design of J ATE URE was to pair community college students with faculty who assisted with mentoring, research, and writing manuscripts. The J ATE URE program ran during the 2023-2024 academic year and culminated with 11 manuscript submissions. We are delighted to share that this project was a great success. All participating students and faculty involved worked hard throughout the entire process. We want to extend a huge thanks to Tanya Faltens, who led J ATE URE.
