There is limited research on demoralization in college students. Most research in this domain has focused on medical populations, such as persons with cancer (Mehnert et al, 2011; Mullane et al, 2009) or other health-related problems. The most used measure of this construct is the Demoralization Scale (DS; Kissane et al, 2004). The 24-item DS includes components of dysphoria, feelings of incompetence and loss of meaning, with good reliability and validity in clinical samples (Kissane et al., 2004; Pei-Ling et al., 2015). The current study examined the reliability and validity of the DS in college students.

The purpose of this research is to attempt to enhance the sense of culture and place in the interior design of the Hoopa Grocery Store that is currently in the planning process and is to be completed by this summer in Hoopa, CA. This is part of my senior capstone service learning project in support of Greenway Partners, a local project management firm, and their work with the Hoopa Valley Tribe. I am using a combination of historical imagery, Google Earth imagery, contemporary photos, Hupa tribal patterns and language, and maps to incorporate the unique and authentic sense of place of Hoopa Valley into the store as a symbol of the culture revitalization and survivance of the Hupa people.

At Humboldt State University, I study Cellular and Molecular Biology and have minors in Chemistry and Spanish. After I graduate with my Behavioral Science Degree, I plan to go to the College of the Redwoods to become a Registered Nurse. Going into the medical field to me means helping others and making a difference in the community I grew up in. My hope is to become a Registered Nurse and have the opportunity to work or volunteer with United Indian Health Services at Potawot Health Village or the Eureka Health Center. Being a part of an organization that focuses on health, sustainability, and Indigenous sovereignty would allow me to make real change in my community.

My research project is about whether ice for acute injuries is effective. Evidence of how the body naturally heals damaged tissue doesn't line up with why we use ice on injuries. Ice helps with pain and swelling. Ice limits blood flow known as vasoconstriction which the body already naturally does. Staying in extended time in vasoconstriction may affect the healing of the injury. Ice has more negative effects that no one thinks of. PEACE & LOVE injury management is new and more people should know about it. Research should be done for the effectiveness of all elements.

The research interviews with nomads have shown that climate, grasslands and policies are changing the livelihood of Tibetan nomads. Tibetan nomads have established a way to graze their livestock and keep the grasslands healthy by moving based on the seasons. Climate change will decrease the grassland quality results in unhealthy livestock and decreases their resistance to winter storms. Herders express that policies that encourage or demand a sedentary livelihood have restricted mobility, decreased livestock conditions, and resulted in an increase in livestock loss. Today, Tibetan nomads are stuck between their traditional ways and the way the government has established for them.

My task was to use GIS - Cartographic design to create a clear reference map for trail maintenance workers at Redwood National Nark (Orick, CA). The map will act as an education tool to promote conservation of rare native plants unique to the ecosystem found only in the Pacific Northwest coastal redwoods.

When Oliphant v. Suquamish was passed it completely changed the paradigm in rape cases. It created a legal loophole for perpetrators to escape without punishment due to a jurisdictional power shift to federal governance. This allows more sexual assaults and abductions on reservations because there is not readily accessible or adequate repercussions for the behavior of rapists. The exploitation of mother earth’s resources can be related to the violation and objectification of Native American bodies as both were violated by the settler state.

We have discovered that online teaching is hard, and I am no expert, however I did what to better understand what types of presentations are possible when you have limited funds and even more limited expertise. The simplest solution is almost always the best. I believable this statement and reference it often when I am working on a problem. However I wanted to look at some ideas. In this presentation I will explore, through demonstration several ways of presenting online. My initial focus was to find ways to do home video with better sound, but a little research has shown me that with a some effort and a small investment you can create more interesting and engaging material for students.

Grieg wrote his only piano sonata early in his life, when he was still learning how to be a composer. It is an imperfect work, but very emotional and passionate. I play only the first movement, Allegro moderato.

College student demographics have been rapidly changing with more students than ever identifying as students of color, low-income students, and first-generation college students. Colleges are working to reduce equity gaps in students’ academic achievement where marginalized students typically receive lower grades than their more privileged peers. The present study investigated the perceived responsibilities of college instructors with a focus on highly equitable classroom practices. Results of the study indicate general endorsement of highly equitable classroom practices as instructors’ responsibilities. Future research can use perceptions to further assess classroom practices and behaviors.
