Our research project focuses on encouraging HSU students to become more physically active, while immersing themselves in the Arcata community. Our Wayfinder project includes a map of trails that will be highlighted by semi-permanent signage, to increase walkability and integrate HSU students into the community. With the results from a previous survey, the trails in this project preview a variety of popular places in the Arcata community to promote Arcata-HSU relations and influence students to explore their new home. In our video, we will share the trails, how we created the trails, and our plans for future engagement.
We Are Your Community

For our project we want to focus on bridging divides between students of color and the community. To address this need, we are designing a media campaign called "We Are Your Community." This media campaign will consist of posters in business windows, short videos on social media and a website, and a community building event where students and community members can interact. The media campaign will highlight the stories of students of color and the nuances of their positive and negative experiences in Humboldt County.

Wellness Center at Eureka City Schools (ECS)
- Emma DavisSocial WorkGraduate Student
We are developing and implementing a Wellness center in Eureka City Schools (ECS). The collaboration includes Two Feathers Native American Family Services, Open Door Community Health Center, Humboldt County Office of Education, Cal Poly Humboldt, various consultants, grant writers, and ECS students and employees. Student feedback identified the needs, health disparities, and gaps in wellness services and informed how to best support diverse student populations. We collected student feedback via a survey and feedback groups which were student-led and driven. The findings suggest the wellness center should be an inviting space, be a space to regulate, and offer clinical/non-clinical support.

This presentation explores the history of detention centers (concentration camps) in the US and the nuances which have put undocumented QTPOC at risk. The inhumane misgendering of trans womxn, which often places them in “male” detention centers, leads to high rates of physical and psychological abuse; as a community, what are ways we can help support them and eventually abolish these institutions? Trans people are often times the most marginalized people within the LGBTQIA+ community, especially in detention centers.

- Rachael ThackerCommunicationUndergraduate Student
- Celeste BuntenCommunicationUndergraduate Student
- Ariana TlasecaCommunicationUndergraduate Student
Our group is exploring the link between vocalics and nonverbal communication by examining four different popular television characters and analyzing their individual character nonverbals. We selected popular characters and examined their vocalics (pitch, speech rate, etc) and nonverbals (gestures) in relation to audience and character perception. The characters selected are Ron from Parks and Rec, Jack from Will and Grace, Captain Holt from Brooklyn Nine Nine, and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. Often nonverbal behaviors, specifically speech illustrators, are used to accompany the characters respective idiosyncrasies in an amusing or humorous way that we examine in our project.
What We Think, We Are
- Olivia NeuCommunicationUndergraduate Student
Self-talk is the inner dialogue we use to talk to ourselves. My research project addresses the significance that self-talk has on you both mentally and physically. I emphasize that we should be mindful of how we talk to ourselves because we are always doing it. I also explain the importance of positive self-talk and how to do it. My goal is that this research project motivates individuals to use self-talk in ways that let them live happier and more positive lives.
