Rapid Response Teams are a resource for hospitals to provide early and emergent interventions to prevent the need for escalation of care. Team members can be called upon by units in the hospital for consultation and assist with assessments. Teams provide a proactive rounding process on patients with high-risk diagnoses to follow along with the bedside nurse to provide an interdisciplinary approach to a complex patient. Rural hospitals are challenged with retaining highly experienced nurses, these teams provide insight and mentorship to newer nurses.

My project is a community needs assessment for the Bear River Band of Rhonerville Rancheria, who are my community partners. I am working with Liana Whiteley, Director of Social Services. This needs assessment is needed to effectively assess and address the educational needs of the youth in their community. It is also a way to assess how the local school districts can better support the education of the tribes youth, their families, and their community. With this needs assessment, I hope to be able to capture the necessary information to demonstrate Bear River Rancheria’s need for an educational system that is supportive and inclusive of their community and culture.

University students, along with programs and services that serve them have been deeply impacted by COVID-19. The goal of this study was to explore students' statuses and their ability to access campus programming and supports that helped meet their basic needs such as, food, housing, and financial supports before and during the COVID-19 pandemic to evaluate their efficacy. This study had a particular focus on the context of diverse needs of students and campuses. This research adopted a mixed-methods approach to better understand basic needs insecurity, we focused on the survey data for this report.

This poster will display the process and implications between the Nez Perce Tribe, state and federal government agencies in dealing with the settlement process of the Snake River Basin Adjudication (SRBA). The SRBA can serve as an opening to discussing the relationship between the Nez Perce with the state and federal governments, particularly the U.S. serving as a trustee for the tribe and is suppose to protect the Nez Perce tribal treaty-based fishing rights. We will discuss the basis for their claims is within the fact that in stream flow is necessary for the salmon survival. Based within the treaties with the U.S., the Nez Perce holds the exclusive right to fish within the streams.

As a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), HSU lacked a project which served its Undocumented. DACAmented and AB 540 students. Due to the need for staff, faculty and administrators to learn how to better serve this group of students, the student group Funding Resources and Empowerment through Education (F.R.E.E.) organized and advocated for many year to create a student support program. The result was the creation of the Undocumented Students Ally Training (USAT) in 2015 and Scholars Without Borders (SWB) in 2016. The purpose of the program evaluation of USAT was to measure the impact of the training on students, faculty and staff members who participated in the training.

Intravenous drug usage can lead to multiple detrimental health related risks including the transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis C, abscesses and infections, and drug related overdose. One of the most crucial interventions proven to reduce rates of these health risks among injection drug users is the syringe exchange program. This project examines the active syringe exchange programs in Humboldt County in order to explore the various practices, policies, and services offered by each. The ultimate goal for this project is to strengthen agency relationships, promote sharing of information and best practices, and maximize our ability to reach people in need.

While previous research has focused upon how anonymity provides space for aggressive gestures like "trolling," less work has been done on supportive social gestures characteristic of anonymity. From public restrooms to websites devoted to anonymous confession, anonymity can and does enable gestures of support. This research develops analysis of messaging from social media platforms, including Whisper and 4Chan, public commentary, and physical space graffiti to explore anonymous gestures of support. Our research aimed to contribute to work on authenticity, self-presentation, and social interaction by exploring ways in which "support" is offered and taken up within anonymous communities.

In growing need to accommodate graduate students' housing issues from Humboldt State University as well as the need for urban revitalization projects in Old Town Eureka, ENST seniors James Bradas and Rebecca Ron partnered with Greenway Partners: an Arcata-based engineering design, consultancy, and facilitation firm to continue with the lead on this project. Through research within the Old Town quarter of Eureka, research in city, county, and state municipal code, and using the lived experiences of the Humboldt State domestic experience with the current housing market, a conceptual framework grew from a critical understanding about the community, place, and placement of prospective housing.

I'm conducting research for Mary Virnoche. The research has mostly been reviewing qualitative literature on peer mentoring, mentoring, retention rates, and approaches institutions of higher education take in order to have high retention rates among Sociology majors. The focus of the study is directly on Sociology but the literature reviewed is expansive. This project will show the audience the problem(s) with low retention rates of SOC majors and will have the key findings in my review. The research project is still taking place so I'll have plenty of data and analysis of Mary's literature and research. I may add key findings that have helped with my existing research on higher education.

My dad Ricky Wayne Fischer died on September 8th, 2024, after a lifetime struggle with addiction. An estimated 28.9 million Americans had an Alcohol Use Disorder in 2024 (NIAAA, 2024). Families who have a parent with a Substance Abuse Disorder are “characterized by an environment of secrecy, loss, conflict, violence or abuse, emotional chaos, role reversal, and fear.” (Lander, 2013). To tackle the wicked problem of addiction, this paper focuses on the psychological, biological, sociological, economic disciplines, and my own primary source of having a parent with a Substance Abuse Disorder. Additionally explored, are the creative disciplines of photography and writing to honor his life.
