Students are impacted by differential modes of stimuli presentation while learning in multimedia environments. In the classroom, lecturers often display written text that corresponds with their spoken instruction, but how are students impacted by this? This study aims to address how visual (text), auditory, and pictorial stimuli in isolation or combination pertaining to the same novel subject affect recall accuracy. A cross-sectional between-subjects design was utilized in the study, and we found that students did better on recall questions when they were either taught with auditory, textual and pictorial information, or taught with auditory and pictorial information.

A foundation was needed for the Satellite Case Manager position at Transitional Residential Treatment Facilities. To address the issue, an employee guidebook was created to define the position and act as a training tool for new employees. Institutional knowledge, experience, and current literature guided the development of a Satellite Case Manager handbook that acts as a foundation for the position. An executive summary was also completed recommending next steps to increase collaboration with stakeholders , clearly define roles of Satellite Case Manager, and to expand the scope of the Satellite Case Manager to better meet the needs of clients and other stakeholders.

Applying the skills I have learned in the Students For Violence Prevention program to real-world animal rights activism has already proven to be highly successful, and it is clear that the work of the SVP and CHECK IT communities may easily have their work extended into that of the animal liberation community. Through close collaboration with local farms and markets, the encouragement of more animal rights groups on Humboldt State University campus, and the formation of educational programs specifically made to reach out to youth, I believe that our students could potentially have a strong impact on the enforcement of animal welfare in Humboldt County.

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.

Evidence suggests a lack of reintegration services in rural Humboldt County. In an effort to understand the disconnect between the clients and the services, we will conduct focus groups and interviews with current inmates at Humboldt County Correctional Facility, service providers and ex-offenders. We aim to promote communication between both parties that will ease the process of reentry and inhibit recidivism through empowerment and access to necessary resources. This research will serve as a guide in the planning and development of the new rehabilitation center. We will also create an easily accessible resource guide and certificates of achievement for those reentering the community.

In American society, identity is something that many people struggle with throughout their daily lives. The US has a unique sense of culture like no other country that is created through the social construct of the race and the belief of the “melting pot”. The US census, requires that every person identify their race, which is more difficult for some than for others. When someone marks the race box, it is assumed that their race is simply their identity, without taking into account the struggle that the individual could be facing. We need to have a greater understanding of what it is to have an identity that can’t be placed within society as a race that could be found within a box.

Over the past two years I have had the privilege of working in high school environments with students from all walks of life. to sweeten the deal, they were high schools in two different countries. Through college corps I have been able to work with students at Six Rivers Charter High School for the past two academic years. While helping in classes across many different subjects and electives, I have found ways to connect to students in a way that I appreciated teachers connecting to me when I was in high school. Through an international service learning program to the Philippines, I spent my spring breaks in my ancestral land, not only learning about local history, but also teaching.

Day of Caring provided me with an awesome opportunity to practice leadership in working for social change and serving the community around us. I was able to work to provide opportunities for a large number of students to give a Saturday in September to working in one of 16 different local organizations that are working hard to serve the Humboldt Community. Every year students provide wonderful feedback about their experience and it was one more opportunity to put what we learn about communities and service into action.

My presentation is regarding the 1st Amendment, in which a student expressed her frustration on social media off campus regarding the selection of the varsity cheer team. She sued the school after the coach suspended her from the team for a year due to her post on social media. Case brief regarding the extend of the 1st amendment and regulation a school may do.

Project Rebound is a resource we are working to implement on HSU's campus for students who have been/are currently incarcerated. We have been networking with other campuses and organizations to create this center. Included will be research conducted about students re-entering to society and education. This will hopefully officially begin next semester, but we want to spread awareness of our program and connect with others who may be interested.
