The Wingate anaerobic test is one of the most widely used fitness tests that requires the participants to exert maximum effort. There is a lack of research on the effect of a longer duration active recovery protocol on blood lactate levels and performance in repeated Wingate tests as compared to passive recovery, and a lack of research on those components in females. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of active versus passive recovery on performance and blood lactate levels during two 30-second Wingate tests in healthy, college-aged females to further understand how different recovery types can affect performance and recovery. Hypothesis: An active recovery will allow for

The research reveals the complex dynamics of intergroup context, particularly with the presence of extreme outgroups in comparison to moderate outgroups. Results supported the hypothesis that the presence of an extreme outgroup might pull perceivers’ perceptions more negative, possibly because it reminds them of the intergroup comparison process. In addition, results supported the hypothesis of lower perceptions of warmth than competence for relevant outgroups. The work has implications for many social and political situations where individuals may change their opinions of groups in a similar manner based on the presence of extreme outgroups in comparison to relevant and moderate outgroups.

This presentation emphasizes the importance of incorporating Yurok language and culture in early childhood development. I also include the learning experiences and exploration during this service learning opportunity at the Yurok Tribe Head Start program. I also connect the theoretical constructs that I learn in Child Development classes and the practical experience that I have gained during this service learning opportunity.

I am working to create a survey to evaluate Eureka High School’s Advance Via Individual Determination (AVID) program. AVID is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the achievement gap by preparing underachieving and disadvantage students for college. In 2009, Eureka High School implemented AVID into their school curriculum to better prepare students for college.

In addition to many other barriers to degree completion, former foster youth may also have fewer financial resources to cover the high cost of attending college because they may not have as much family support as students who have not been in the foster care system. This presentation summarizes the work from my MSW community project and aims to describe how former foster youth attending Humboldt State University (HSU) may be experiencing housing displacement. Transitional Housing Placement Plus (THP-Plus) and Transitional Housing Placement Plus Foster Care (THP+FC) are supportive living environments for college-aged youth who were in foster care or probation.

In 2016, Governor Jerry Brown received a bill (AB 1594) authored by assembly member McCarthy requesting the prohibition of smoke & tobacco use on all Calfornia college and university campuses. However, Gov. Brown vetoed the bill and stated that the governing boards of public colleges and universities have the authority to revise their own smoke & tobacco policies as needed. Therefore, an online survey was developed to assess the community's readiness to adopt a 100% smoke & tobacco-free policy. The goal of this project is to provide the Humboldt State University governing board with a glimpse of public opinion regarding the possible implementation of a smoke and tobacco-free policy.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), as much as 10 to 15 percent of American teenagers experience symptoms of depression at any one given time (2014). Research has shown that mindfulness methods and art therapy methods have both proven themselves useful in treating this disease, but there is little research that has delved into the possible benefits of combining these two methodologies. This project combines these two forms of coping skills into one curriculum for use in school or therapeutic settings aimed at helping adolescents find outlets for dealing with their depression. That's the goal of this project: the creation of a mindfulness and art therapy guidebook.

The focus of this presentation is on the positive effects that service learning has on our Child Development experience at Humboldt State University. We start by explaining the environment that our service learning took place in and the core beliefs of the center. Next we will discuss the reasons why we chose to participate in service learning and what challenges we encountered. We also explain the strengths and knowledge that we have gained while participating in service learning. Finally, we discuss how service learning enhances the child development experience. We experienced many connections between theory and practice in the short time that we participated in service learning.

The Y.E.S. House is a student run club that has multiple groups, which provide services and activities to youth and elderly alike. From tutoring to playing musical instruments, the Y.E.S. House does tremendous things for the community in Humboldt County. Two of us are at JHRP and one of us in L.E.A.P. The JHRP program works with youth, who are incarcerated. During their recreation time, we engage them in playing games and sports or talking. L.E.A.P. is a program that works with youth to build self-esteem, leadership, and teamwork skills. We propose to present a poster that consists of these two groups: JHRP and L.E.A.P. and their in depth working.

This poster presents the experience of working at a local preschool in the area. I have gained a lot of knowledge on what it is like to be in a preschool classroom setting. Before starting my service learning, I did not know what to expect, but now I can say that this experience has allowed me to direct myself to a future career that might be gratifying. I got to experience hands experience working with children for a couple of hours each day and see how the teachers interacted with children. I learn about some of the practices that are being used to meet the unique needs of each child. This experience has helped me improve my communication skills and confidence, explore future careers.
