Talking to Yourself: Let's Talk About Intrapersonal Communication!
Kasandra Marguerite Colwell
Communication
Undergraduate Student
College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences
Intrapersonal communication consists of the internal communication that occurs within each of us, where we send and receive messages within ourselves. Intrapersonal communication highly impacts the more well-known concept of interpersonal communication, which occurs between two or more people. Yet, intrapersonal communication isn't listed as an interest group under the National Communication Association! Consequently, student exposure to this concept is often limited to a small section in introduction to communication courses. In this presentation, I argue that California Polytechnic Humboldt should offer a course in intrapersonal communication and I share a potential syllabus I've created.

Surveillance of has long contributed to the stripping of identity and experience of Blackness through derealization and depersonalization, and has continues into the digital era.

Equitable Self-Assessment and Intervention Practices in Supplemental Instruction
Isabella
Donato
Biological Sciences
Undergraduate Student
College of Natural Resources & Sciences
To promote equitable learning and assessment practices in Supplemental Instruction classrooms, weekly surveys were conducted in a BIOL 198 SI course linked to a Genetics (BIOL 340) core class. These weekly surveys provided opportunities for students to reflect on the effectiveness of their learning strategies. The Supplemental Instruction Leader then implemented activities during class to focus on reading comprehension and test preparation, the two areas indicated by students as their areas of least confidence. Quantitative and qualitative data demonstrated improvement in SI student reflections of self-efficacy throughout a non-consecutive six-week period.

Open Door Health Centers is a nonprofit community clinic that provides affordable, accessible healthcare to underserved populations. As a College Corps Fellow, I work with the Member Services department, specifically supporting gardens and food resources. My role focuses on increasing access to fresh, healthy food through community garden initiatives and resource navigation. This experience has allowed me to support food security efforts while gaining insight into the intersection of health, nutrition, and community service.
