Drawing from the theory of planned behavior, the present study examined changes in self-reported health behaviors, and attitudes and intentions to change behaviors across outcomes of diet, exercise, tobacco smoking, and stress management before and after a health class. Students in several sections of a Health Psychology course (N=477) were invited to complete an online survey assessing self-reported health behaviors, and importance, confidence. Improved intentions, confidence, and importance were reported most health behaviors observed.

The poster will be on a research project I am currently working on involving the legacy of farmwork in California and their lack of support in regards to forming labor unions.

My research looked into how scavengers are using marine mammal carcasses and what is affecting this relationship. I worked with the Marine Mammal Education and Research Program to obtain carcasses ranging from Crescent City down to Cape Mendocino.

As a part of a service learning class, we spent 30 hours in Sunny Brae Middle School Afterchool Program. Both of us had our service learning goals in terms of knowledge, skills, and values.

Mathematically modeled herring and mackerel fish migrations in the North and Norwegian Seas, related it to global temperature rise and and how it will affect the small Scottish fishing industry. This project was for a mathematical modeling competition for HSU.

Artistic communities can be problematic, as any community can be. One aspect of activism is working from within, and poetry communities are a great way to do this. It allows for people to communicate in an artistic manner, and communication is the best way to resolve conflict/differences. By taking a stand against violence through poetry, the communities hearing these poems will be open to taking in this vital information because it’s within their own community.

I will conducting a feasibility study for the implementation of a local community currency in Humboldt County, in conjunction with the impacts (positive or negative) of starting a community currency. This study will be based off of examples of current successful community currencies.

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.

By providing events like this we can build a community of people and to help them feel like they belong
