I will be presenting a poster and an oral presentation on Professional Networking Communications (P.N.C). Being able to attain new opportunities through the art of communication is what P.N.C means to me. Not everyone is born with a golden spoon, so to get what you want, you might have to persuade, motivate, or enlighten someone. You can network with verbal communication, like speaking appropriately, and variating your tone of voice. However, physical communication is just as effective when networking; the way one dresses, behaves, and even stands. Professional networking communication is the skill of growing yourself and or career through person to person encounter.

The artifact of alcoholic beverages contains a profoundly vast array of facets to articulate. This paper aims to make the critical interventions necessary to realize the manifestations of alcohol use and its interpretations, in terms of identity, occur because of historic contexts embedded in our culture. By examining the symbolism and stereotypes of the Irish immigrant in America, the identity struggles and ideologies surrounding alcohol can be understood through the rhetoric of social groups.

This project centers on the environmental justice issue of food deserts in low income, poor communities of color and also breaks down why these people and areas are targeted. Major ongoing systemic structures, such as environmental racism and redlining are defined and explained, with examples, to help the audience understand how this issue was created. Finally, my own positionality is incorporated for contrast, further explaining the systemic processes coming into play.

Evidence shows that patients who receive oral care two to four times daily, have their chances of acquiring non-ventilator hospital acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) decreased by thirty-seven percent. To make this a successful program at our hospital, it would be prudent to create a policy for oral care, train nursing staff and patients of proper oral care and be sure to document in the electronic medical records that oral care has been done. Pneumonia is the number one hospital acquired infection. This information points to a greater need for nurses to perform oral care with patients.

We looked at the relationship between self-conceptual uncertainty and group identity-uncertainty. Study 1 provides evidence that group identity-uncertainty produces self-uncertainty, even when people have the opportunity to identify with relevant groups. Study 2 shows that group-identity uncertainty motivates disidentification from a group relevant to their uncertainty. These findings highlight the complexity of the self-concept, suggesting that group-identity uncertainty produces self-uncertainty as well as disidentificaiton with sub-groups related to the uncertain identity.

The Institute of Harm Reduction Research, Policy and Practice (IHRRPP) seeks to reduce harms associated with alcohol and other drugs (AOD). Such harms affect individuals, families, and the local community. Harm may be the result of problematic substance use, or the laws and policies which pertain to substance consumption. The Zendo Project is an offshoot of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), and seeks to provide education on the nature of psychedelic harm reduction. By providing best-practice training for attending to psychedelic crises, Zendo Project reduces harms that can arise from erratic behavior, penal responses, and other negative experiences.

Humboldt State University (HSU) students participated in the first part of an international lesson study by developing and implementing curriculum about climate change. Together with Swiss students from Haute Ecole Pédagogique du Canton de Vaud (HEP ), ideas of pedagogy were shared while developing, deploying, and revising an engaging lesson plan. With the goal to better understand lesson development and successful teaching strategies in the classroom, the students are to repeat this process at least three more times in Switzerland.

This is a video showcase by students in ITS Media Production called "Ten Plus." Ten Plus means that more than one in ten students on the HSU campus has a disability and requires some form of accommodation. These videos aim to build awareness as to what is currently being done and what steps we need to take in order to create accessibility on this campus through the use of Universal Design, accessible documents and more. It includes interviews by faculty, students and staff who are familiar with these issues and work with them everyday. This project is funded through the GI 2025. Its purpose is to "remove obstacles and support innovation to increase student success in graduating on time!

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.
