Undergraduate research project for the Wildlife Department researching to see if being protected or exposed to wave action affects where sea stars are found

For our project, we each individually chose a Supreme Court case. We chose a specific case, turned it into a t-shirt design, and then brought it to life with our own twist to create a contemporary representation. Our research in turn, has given us our own freedom to express what we believe about certain issues. Adam looked at Cohen vs California, Camille looked at Tinker vs. Des Moines and DaMon looked at Morse vs Fredrick. We combined our ideas and experiences dealing with Freedom of Expression to summarize what we learned in the class and applied them to our t-shirts and current issues. "Don't Stress, Freely Express."

Music programs in non-clinical settings can have positive impacts on people living with mental health issues, including veterans with PTSD. Heroes’ Voices provides cohort-based music programs to promote psychosocial well-being, with the potential to link veterans to additional supportive resources. This poster will share Heroes’ Voices pilot evaluation data from two applied contexts: a suburban residential treatment facility and a rural outpatient clinic. This poster will explore lessons learned with implications for promoting student veteran success at HSU.

Numerous obstacles prevent rural residents from accessing high-quality cancer treatment, such as long distances to treatment centers, a shortage of specialized medical professionals, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure. To address the challenge of advanced cancer care in rural areas, a comprehensive approach is required that includes improving access to specialized medical professionals, investing in healthcare technology, and prioritizing palliative care services. Palliative care is a critical element of cancer care that focuses on symptom management, enhancing quality of life, and providing support for patients and their loved ones.

A book club hosted for Veterans and community members to come together to read and discuss topics meaningful to the veteran community.

This study analyzed flocking behavior of shorebirds present at the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, examining if any two (or more) species significantly selected to flock with each other over other species, and what may have led to such a flocking preference (similarities in size, foraging behavior, etc.).

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.

We collaborated with Dr. Bayan at Waterfront Recovery Services to create a post-discharge safety plan for patients. The safety plan will be used and implemented on each individual client to reduce substance use and create a life of sobriety.

Menopause is a physical, psychosocial, and cultural transition as diverse and complicated as humans themselves. Every person with ovaries who lives long enough will experience the fluctuation and decline of sex hormones, and about 80% will have symptoms likely to start earlier and be wider-ranging than expected. In this proposed project at a rural health clinic, annual screening will be offered to patients aged 35-55 years. Patient replies will result in offering resources, registered nurse consults and classes, and focused provider visits. Directly addressing perimenopause allows for anticipatory guidance and shared decision-making to improve quality of life in middle-age and beyond.

Not all disabilities are apparent; you cannot identify a person with disabilities just by looking at them. This study aims to address whether professors’ disability-related attitudes, perceptions of accommodation reasonableness, and willingness to provide accommodations differ when a student’s disability is recognizable (student is pictured in a wheelchair), unrecognizable (student is pictured in a chair), or when no visual is present (standard documentation control) and whether the professor’s level of disability-related knowledge and perceptions of institutional support mediates this relationship.
