Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Impact on Community

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

The Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Bayside is an all inclusive religious organization with a focus on fostering healthy relationships between all beings and the world we live in. HUUF has multiple committees through which they address different aspects of intersectional issues. In this poster we will compile the three separate emphasises of our service learning experience through the HUUF which are: children’s religious education, providing services to the homeless, and sharing the importance of native plants with the congregation. We will share what we learned from our experience, how that deepened our understanding of Religion in America, and how we served the community.l

I Cannot Believe It’s Not Gluten

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Celiac Disease is defined by intolerance to gluten, similar to that of an allergic reaction. The only published treatment is abstaining from gluten, in any form. Gluten-free products became widely offered in grocery stores and restaurants soon followed suit. The FDA has ruled that after August 5, 2014 that food that is gluten-free can have up to 20 parts per million (ppm) of “unavoidable” gluten contamination. This project tests for the occurrence of gluten contamination found within restaurants that serve food labeled as gluten –free, in Arcata, Ca. The study focuses on three local restaurants: Luke’s Joint, Smug’s Pizza, and Hey Juan's.

Implementing the Classroom Assistant Position to Humboldt State University

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Through extensive on-campus research and personal experience my research attests to the fact that the classroom assistant position, while not widely adopted in many university settings including HSU, has proven to be an effective on-campus support mechanism. By performing functions such as assisting in classroom flow, facilitating in-class group exercises, and checking in on students’ progress on work outside of class, classroom assistants are an understated, invaluable resource that develops students’ work capacities as well as their level of comfort and integration into on-campus resources and events.

Improving The Fostering Of Power For Students With Multi-Dimensional Identities Through Analysis

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Making up around 33% of Humboldt State’s demographics, Hispanic or Latino identifying students share a lack of representation for P.O.C in the community. The Latinx Center for Academic Excellence works to navigate pathways to success for students while at the same time respecting their cultural and historical trajectory. Through the center I have used the technique of surveying and analysis to help strengthen the fostering of power for students with multi-dimensional identities by identifying how the center can enhance their approach of building community, facilitating events, workshops, mentorship programs, and free services for students.
