Bring Back the Bison

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

For ideafest, we plan to enlighten our fellow Humboldtians on how Native tribes are helping to save the bison from extinction. Bison have played a key role in Native culture, especially in the great plains . The Sioux and Assiniboine tribes of Fork pecks currently have the largest restoration herd, with up to 340 bison living and thriving on their lands. We major in zoology, so we decided to focus in on this subject because we are passionate about the wellbeing of animals and it is a clear bridge between Indigenous people, animals, and their culture. Thereby, a connection between NAS and Zoology is born and recognized :) .

Bringing ADA Compliance to CAPS in the Era of COVID-19

College of Professional Studies

HSU’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) promotes student well-being by making individual counseling and support groups free and easily accessible to students, which combats the widespread stigma associated with mental health services. As part of the campaign to improve student mental health, CAPS maintains an expansive website with a variety of self-help resources. Our team of Abnormal Psychology students collaborated with CAPS to increase website accessibility by updating slideshow presentations to comply with the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA enforces access to civil life for people living with disabilities and, as relevant to this case, requires slideshow

Broken Spirits Rising: Grief Support Group for those Who Have Experinced the Murder of a Loved One

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

I am interning at the District Attorney's Victim Witness program located in Eureka California as an advocate. There has been a long standing need for a grief support group for those who have lost a loved one to murder. As a mother of a murdered daughter I understand how important a grief support group becomes for this population. This unique need has become my community project focus and passion for those who've experienced complicated grief related to homicide. Broken Spirits Rising can offer people who are grieving a supportive environment in which to work through their grief when,for many of them there may be few places in their lives in which they can get this support and be themselves

Brown Pelican Relative Abundance and Predation Frequency in Humboldt County Habitats

Gavin Lahr, Wildlife Undergraduate Student

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

I conducted point-count surveys for Brown Pelicans in three different Humboldt County Habitats: Beaches, Bays, and Lagoons. Across nine survey sites I compared Brown Pelican relative abundance and predation frequency to determine what habitat type in Humboldt County was more important to Brown Pelican survival and conservation. Since 2009 Brown Pelicans were delisted from the Endangered Species Act, a momentous achievement for Brown Pelicans and conservationists. However, I believe it is important to continue monitoring species that have been delisted to ensure they remain healthy.

Buddy Bench and Buddy Squad Programs

Maddie Pyles , Social Work Graduate Student

College of Professional Studies

Many students continually still face with adverse mental and social-emotional health around school educations today. The buddy bench and buddy squad programs address adverse mental and social-emotional health for pre-k to fifth-grade students (e.g., depression, anxiety, stigma, shyness, coping skills, bullying, loneliness, and social isolation). Both of the programs help with positive mental and social-emotional support, creating new friendships, building social skills (e.g., problem-solving, conflict resolution, and other coping skills), and fostering students’ community. Both of the programs are excellent ways to promote positive outreach for every school.

Build a Causal Diagram to Compare Calculus Outcomes Across CSU Campuses

Nathan Boone, Psychology Graduate Student

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

20% of CSU students received a failing grade in Calculus 1 between 2019 and 2021. As a required course for many STEM majors, Calculus 1 outcomes have an impact on many students. When staff discuss different teaching strategies and ways to use resources, it’s natural to compare failure rates between campuses. Different CSU campuses have different student populations, so a direct comparison of outcomes may be unfair. The proposed poster describes the process of designing an analysis that could carry out a standardized comparison of calculus outcomes across campuses. Attendees will be invited to interact with the poster by adding relevant variables and pathways with sticky notes and markers.

Building Community Through The Sustainable Practitioners Directory

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Climate change, the most pressing issue of our contemporary world, will not be addressed without coming up with local solutions to this global problem. My project focuses on creating an avenue that would allow the campus community and the local community to work together to tackle local concerns. In tandem with HSU’s sustainability office and Center for Community Based Learning we’ve been able to develop such a resource: The Sustainable Practitioners Directory. This directory will allow faculty to easily find community partners working to resolve critical economic, social and environmental challenges, and who are willing to bring their work to the classroom.
