Passive stains, transfer stains and projected/impact stains will be created with various tools and tested on multiple surfaces including: cotton, linen, and carpets. The components of the Bovine blood versus stage blood will be used for analysis and comparison. This research will help determine if synthetic blood provides an accurate representation for bloodstain pattern analysis in research. After all experimental work and calculations are complete, statistical analysis will be conducted to determine the statistical validity of using synthetic blood alternatives to analyze bloodstain patterns.

The presentation of my research will document the process by which EcoNews, the bimonthly environmental publication produced by the Northcoast Environmental Center in Arcata, California, comes to fruition. I have gained experience in this topic through my internship with the Northcoast Environmental Center, where I help to produce EcoNews. Additionally, I will present on the history behind EcoNews, as it has been in operation since 1971 and is one of the longest-running bioregional publications in the nation.

A collaborative experience where our team will interact with Ideafest participants and help them develop strategies to take their research to the next level. Our creative project is an online platform called Planet Rocket that will help spark community change by allowing users to crowd fund the talent and resources to make their projects a reality. We will give a live demonstration of how Planet Rocket works and recruit participants to list their projects on our platform so that they can take their research and create positive change in the local community.

This study outlines the results of a survey undertaken at Humboldt State University to examine factors that are associated with an undergraduate accounting student obtaining a job offer and passing the CPA exam. Undertaking relevant part-time work, academic performance and social (extra-curricular) activities are significant factors leading to job offers prior to graduation, as well as success on the CPA exam. Participation in part-time professional work was not found to negatively affect students’ academic performance.

My research focuses on community access to cultural and crisis resources, through networking with community health centers. My brochure will help reach a boarder population throughout Humboldt and Del Norte counties on educating and advocating for families about health services offered at their local clinic site. While Open Door struggles to retain staff, and providers, its important for the community to have additional access to other resources that are not quite at capacity. This will support small organizations that focus on cultural and diverse practices, as well as acknowledge Indigenous people by having others support and give back through their honor tax.

This research project introduces a quality improvement initiative aimed at reducing or eliminating the risks associated with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) dislodgement. While PICCs are a valuable and useful tool at providing safe and effective intravenous medication administration, they do have the vulnerability of dislodgement which can have catastrophic consequences resulting in patient harm or death. Nurse-led implementation of the subcutaneously anchored securement system and interventions at the patient, department, and policy level can reduce or eliminate PICC dislodgement and the risk associated with inadequate PICC securement.

This year I was able to work with Centro del Pueblo. A non-profit organization which helps its community members through providing a space for the community to garden. Centro del Pueblo also supports its latino community by advocating and providing any type of support. During my time at Centro del pueblo I was able to meet many new people. I was excited to be able to work alongside other latinos. This especially meant a lot to me being the change of environment I experienced coming from Los Angeles. As a part of the organization helping out in the garden became essential to being fully involved with the people.

Our project reviews teaching practices associated with undergraduate literary journal editing in other colleges and universities. We translate our findings by recommending new projects and directions for *Toyon: Multilingual Journal of Literature and Art,* based on examples of what other campuses are doing. This project contributes to Humboldt State University's focus on undergraduate publishing and hands-on learning experiences to prepare students for professions in editing, design, production, and writing for audiences beyond the university.

Art 100 (Global Perspectives in Art) has been fully online for several years. For Spring 2019, Professor Julie Alderson converted the class to a blended format - retaining significant online components, but also introducing weekly face to face elements. In converting the class, she enlisted three advanced Art Education students - Liz Gordon, Alexa Pante and Maya Strauss, to freshen up the How To videos associated with the class. This presentation will present these videos which were designed to help students complete art projects for the course.

The Cal Poly Humboldt 3D Digital Herbarium improves upon current digital herbaria by incorporating 3D models of flora in addition to images of specimens from physical herbariums. These annotated models in addition to a social component implemented with the integration of iNaturalist make for the most immersive, fun and memorable experience of any digital herbarium out there.
