The purpose of this project is to bring together the women in our community who are either already in love with the water or who wish to create a deeper connection with it in one way or another. We aim to create a supportive and inspiring group of females who can encourage each other to not only surf, scuba dive, kayak, swim, sup, and spend time at the beach, but also to take care of our natural coastline!

This project explores the positive and negative effect that tourism has on small island developing state.

I have created a specialized handbook for scuba divers interested in diving the north coast. It is a guide for certified divers who are not familiar with Humboldt County's ocean conditions. It provides tips, techniques, as well as locations and how to dive those locations properly. It uses different approaches that can suit both the beginner and the veteran diver alike.

Our project goes over how we can build community through sports activities. Our poster is a volleyball tournament while talking about the advantages of on campus activities. While also making sure people are taking care of their mental health during the school year. Another part that we emphasized on was our student retention rate. By providing events like this we can build a community of people and to help them feel like they belong

Grief and/or trauma affect everyone at some point in their lives, yet there are few traditional resources available to those who need them due to various barriers and constraints such as geographical isolation or cost of affordable treatment. Within this project, recreation and leisure is explored as a treatment and/or mechanism for forward growth in those affected by trauma and/or grief.

This project showcases the practicum I completed this semester at Blue Lake Roller Rink and what I gained from this experience.

Having a part-time job is a necessary part of life for many college students. It is possible that working an on-campus part-time job can have a positive effect on student retention, especially for racially minoritized students. This research investigated if there is a correlation between persistence to graduation and on-campus part-time employment for racially minoritized students by examining sense of community, self-reliance, and sense of self. Additionally, four professional academic advisors were interviewed about advising students who are working while in college.

Showcasely is an art show that promotes inclusivity, self-expression and struggling artists. I wanted to have an art show with these key points because they play a crucial role in my life, our community, and in art work. Inclusivity was a key part of Showcasely because we wanted people of all backgrounds and experiences to be apart of our role. Art is a demonstration of self expression. I wanted to promote the reality of struggling artist because there are many misconceptions of their lifestyle.

In recent years, non-traditional therapeutic modalities have become increasingly popular options for the treatment of psychological and behavioral issues in youth at-risk populations. Research shows that this model has great promise of rehabilitative pathways for youth involved in the juvenile justice and psychiatric healthcare systems through the use of experiential education combined with traditional talk therapy modalities to improve self-esteem and self-efficacy. This is especially significant for youth at risk individuals who have previously been unsuccessful in other courses of therapy. This project examines success factors of wilderness therapy programs for youth at risk.

This Project looks at United Indian Health Services’ Community Nutrition Project and the Potawat Community Food Garden in Humboldt County, California. Throughout the poster we’ll examine how they function, who they serve, and how COVID-19 has impacted their services. The information was gathered from both online research as well as first hand accounts from some of the garden's volunteers. The purpose of this project is to bring awareness to how the Potawot garden has benefited the Humboldt community and how community gardens can benefit other communities in general.
