Montgomery College Innovation Journal

Overview: The Montgomery College Innovation Journal is a digital, multimedia journal dedicated to giving faculty, staff, administrators, and students an opportunity to share high-quality reflections on innovative practices they have implemented, experienced, or observed in higher education. The journal accepts original or adapted submissions that encourage further conversation about specific innovations, insights based on action research, and editorial reflection on broad innovative trends in higher education and provides moderately peer reviewed content. The journal is sponsored by Montgomery College Innovation Works.

To fulfill the journal’s mission of celebrating innovation and promoting reflective scholar practitioner conversations, the Montgomery College Innovation Journal regularly accepts digital submissions in three core categories: Reflections on Innovation, Serving Students, and Leading Edge. Periodically, the journal will create calls for submissions focusing on specific initiatives, ideas, or events.

Editor: Jennifer S. Lee, Assistant Professor of English
