This creative project is a reflection of my year of service through College Corps and my placement at the veterans hall in Arcata. The project contains some descriptions and pictures of events that my site has been a part of over the year, those events include North Coast Stand Down, Veterans Day at McKay, and Sunday brunch. Throughout this project I reflect on my time at the veterans hall and my experience with College Corps, as well as describing the importance and benefits of providing community service. I end with a conclusion of how a program like College Corps is beneficial towards community outreach and how the program has benefited me.

My capstone project as a recreation administration student is the creation of The Lumber Games event. The Lumber Games is a fun and exciting event for student of Cal Poly Humboldt. This free event includes a mobile ax throwing truck, pizza, yard games, board games, and a raffle. Participates are able to win raffle tickets by participating in the variety of recreational activities offered. The goals of my project include providing inclusive recreational opportunities to students, making this a recurring event hosted by The Recreation Club of Cal Poly Humboldt, and furthering my professional development as an event producer.

The presentation is a showcase of a tabletop roleplaying game I made and played with my friends. The game was initially a way to connect in the the hard times of the Covid lockdown, but became much more than that. It demonstrates how the art and storytelling of myself and my friends has evolved over three years.

In this poster, I describe the process by which we inventoried items and analyze how technology evolved in concert with broader shifts in the Redwood timber industry. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how archival research and data collection processes are conducted within the realm of historical archaeology and also reflects Humboldt County's independence. The material analysis presented in this project will showcase logging technology’s environmental, cultural and economic impacts on the landscape and lifestyles of the region’s inhabitants.

‘Drop The Ramp’ explores creating a landscape of the invasion on Omaha beach on D-day through immersive and intimate screenings. Sitting in the middle of the larger projection will be a smaller screen showing a war veteran, Frank Devita as he recounts a story never told about storming the beaches of Omaha. Inverting the interview footage to make it a color negative….viewers will need to view through their phones inverting their screens to view Frank as a color positive. This plays on newer generations' relation to war and how we’ve only ever experienced it through screens. It also plays on our relationships with older generations and how their stories might go unappreciated in a modern age

In many Indigenous cultures animals are imbued with great spiritual significance. Their understanding of the natural world seems to be much more sophisticated and comprehensive than many people view it to be. This project will go over the interconnected relationship between animals and humans displaying the spiritual connection or view that the environment is one whole entity, not a separate entity. This interconnectedness is equivalent to the idea of caring for and respecting the natural world and one's surrounding environment. While many cultures are quite diverse, animals seem to frequently appear in creation stories, legends, ceremonies, and art.

Acculturative stress is experienced when individuals go through the process of acculturation (i.e., reconciling two or more cultures). Previous research has used the Multidimensional Acculturative Stress Inventory (MASI) to assess this stress. However, the measure has only been used with a limited number of ethnic groups. The current study examines the factor structure of the MASI with a community sample of Armenian Americans.

An evaluation of characteristics of tree stumps that make them conducive for the presence of the Wandering Salamander (Aneides vagrans). I looked at stump diameter, the relative abundance of cracks on the stumps, and the amount of surface and canopy cover around the stumps to determine if wandering salamander abundance is correlated with any of those variables.

Throughout history, indigenous tribes have used traditional ecological knowledge, TEK, to utilize natural resources while simultaneously tending to the environment. In our presentation, we will examine how incorporating these ideas of TEK will be a positive addition to the ecosystem and aid in conservation. We will focus specifically on the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone Park and explain how this is an example of TEK. By adding a predator to the ecosystem, they will benefit it by keeping prey populations under control to restore the natural balance of the land

This project introduces "Ulterra-Nigma," an experimental ethnography that constructs a fictional universe to explore the depths of cosmic themes and cultural themes with mythology and its importance of myth; the hope for the project is to eventually become an open-source mythology of sorts that can be studied by anthropologists in the future and be added onto as if it were a genuine living document. Also, it is of a more artistic nature so the font choice is a lot more characteristic of the theming than most posters.
