Native Tribes have been and continue to be an instrumental part in the protection of eagles throughout the United States. Due to their work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and researchers, they have made substantial progress in furthering their conservation areas and techniques to protect the different species of eagles from extinction. These initiatives are depicted by the Eagle Summits that have been held, as well as eagle rehabilitation areas created on tribal land. Through my research, I will be educating attendees on the work of the tribes to conserve eagle populations and rehabilitate injured eagles while continuing their cultural traditions within the Midwest.

The Giving Tree is a children’s story where a personified tree gives away pieces of herself to a boy whom she loves. She gives him her apples and branches as a means of further his prosperity, never taking into account her own happiness. In this project, I analyze it as a reflection of society’s view of women’s bodies. The tree in the story needs to be seen as their own character; she is a woman is a state of suffering and abuse.

In a world with increasing urban sprawl wildlife is finding habitat remnants of green spaces such as college campuses. These campuses provide many green spaces, anthropogenic food sources, and a unique set of challenges for wildlife to face. My study looked at how wildlife species on the campuses of Cal Poly Humboldt and College of the Redwood are responding to the human disturbance rates across the two campuses.

In forensics, commonly used when conducting an assessment of skeletal remains is the implementation of a biological profile. The key elements that typically form the basic biological profile are age, ancestry, sex, and stature. These components consist of further methods that comprise the estimation process and are essential in identification. Within recent years, there has been a rise in attention to the use and application of certain methods. This project analyzes the applicability and implications of traditional methods commonly used in forensic anthropology when conducting biological profiles as well as examines the emergence of new methods in the field.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is a mentoring non-profit that fosters one-to-one relationships between local youth and adult volunteers, supporting academic success and emotional well-being. Drawing from our academic backgrounds in kinesiology and business, we contributed by organizing mentorship events and leading community outreach efforts, which strengthened youth-adult connections. This experience highlights the importance of consistent support and positive role models. Through kinesiology, we explored the vital role of physical and mental health in fostering well-rounded growth, while business principles illuminated ways to create sustainable and impactful programs that serve the community.
