This poster's goal is to explain, through simple presentation of facts, how the legal framework established by the 2020 Supreme Court case McGirt v. Oklahoma represented a working example of how the United States can give power back to the tribes. Namely, by recognizing all the traditional territories of the tribes as Indian country, subject to the jurisdiction of the tribes rather than to that of the U.S. government.

Recreational trailways are becoming an ever-present component within community forests, nature reserves and national parks, with the effects on local wildlife just beginning to be understood. Prior research holds that regular trailway maintenance increases microhabitat availability for salamanders and results in increased densities. I conducted a 3-month study in a community forest in northwestern California, and used a standardized nighttime paired-field survey technique to assess for cover objects and salamander surface activity.

I would like to share the importance of working with the community and the impact we can have on climate change when we do so. As well as showing how we help keep our coast clean.

Food banks around the country are working to alleviate hunger and improve food security for low-income families, seniors, and children through distribution programs and nutrition education. This poster explores the vital role that food banks play in our community and examines how federal budget cuts - especially to SNAP and TEFAP - threaten its ability to serve those in need. By highlighting both research and community data, this project underscores the urgent need to support local food systems and advocate for sustainable food assistance programs.

I used scale analysis to estimate the half-pounder frequency among wild and hatchery steelhead from the Trinity River 2011 and 2012 smolt years and compare those estimates to the half-pounder frequency from 1993 until 2008. Hatchery steelhead from 2011 and 2012 had higher half-pounder tendencies than those from 1993 until 2008. Wild steelhead from 2011 and 2012 also showed increased half-pounder tendencies. This supports the hypothesis that increased size at release of hatchery steelhead is related to decline in the half-pounder life history, but also suggests that another factor influences the half-pounder tendency of these steelhead.

I was one of the costume designers for HSU's production of Kiss Me Kate; in charge of the costumes of the lead characters, Fred/Petruchio and Lilli/Kate. I'll be presenting Kate's final dress for the finale of the show. After researching many paintings, I designed a dress that harkened to the Renaissance time period. The dress was built by a team of costume technicians, including myself.

This project aims to educate staff and participants in residential facilities about the practices of harm reduction through open dialogue. The essence of having this discussion is to highlight the ways in which these programs already implement these practices and can further develop harm reduction methods to best support their population. The topics are framed around the concepts of self awareness, safety (physical & emotional)concerns, best practices, and lasty defining harm reduction as whole through team building activities. By collectively choosing a harm reduction philosophy we can begin to address the risks and work together in developing safer and healthier ways to minimize harm.

I am interested in adjusting the paradigm of art in public schools. I want to learn more about how art can affect change in people in regards to themselves and their relationship to the world. I want to move beyond pen and paper sketches of three dimensional shapes in space to strengthen our view of ourselves as agents of our own destiny in the world, as I believe this is arts purpose. My research consisted of fifteen participatory instructional performance art pieces done on or near HSU. I did not always provide services and spaces that were enticing enough to draw many people, but I enlivened a new art form on campus, I gave people an authentic and original experience, and I learned a lot.

How China's influence has expanded in both Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa- through state ran investment. Comparing the US's economic influence and involvement to China's in both of these regions. A brief history of Chinese investment abroad, and revealing some of the negative and positive externalities of Chinese investors in recipient states.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; e.g., child maltreatment, domestic violence, and other household dysfunctions), have been linked to an increased risk of later social and behavioral problems. Cronholm et al. (2015) found that the prevalence of ACEs was higher in their ethnically and socioeconomically diverse sample, as compared to less diverse samples, suggesting that ACEs maybe more prevalent in marginalized populations. Bruner (2017) suggests poverty may play a role in the disproportionate experiencing of ACEs on people of color (PoC). The current study aims to examine links between ethnicity, childhood socioeconomic status, and ACEs in a sample of ethnically diverse (47% PoC) adults.
