Jefferson Community Center: Making Progress Where People Matter

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Jefferson Community Center is a non-profit organization located in Eureka, CA. This project will focus on their dedication to food insecurity and how they teach their youth programs about sustainable food practices. It will also show other services such as their sustainable garden plots in which they grow their own food but also plant native plants for wildlife conservation. My poster will show the variety of services I've helped with during my time there.

The Jefferson Community Center is dedicated to fostering a sense of working together by increasing recreational, educational and vocational opportunities to the needs of the community. The excitement builds as our community shows its commitment to a clean, safe neighborhood full of activities for all ages. This project will summarize my service learning at Jefferson, primarily working with the youth programs. I will describe a few other programs and services offered at Jefferson, supported by photos of events and activities. I will provide contact information and opportunities to get involved.

Stephan Chittenden, Art + Film Undergraduate Student

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

I will be sharing my experiences at KCACTF with an emphasis on sharing the opportunities available, but also how to manage time and expectations. In terms of opportunities I will be covering workshops but also NEXSTEP and the callbacks for summer internships, schools or jobs that can result from this experience. Beyond this, I want to cover when to take opportunities , and knowing when you've taken on too much.

KCACTF:Community, Art, Activism

Filip Amborski, School of Engineering Graduate Student

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

A presentation of the benefits for students looking to expand their network and skills in terms of acting, singing, and technical production knowledge. The Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival provides opportunities to connect with peers from other schools, instructors from across the region, and working industry professionals. Students build their capacity to work in teams, expand their understanding of performance arts, and engage with the most contemporary material that is currently being developed. This experience can provide key exposure to new methodologies, and also offer opportunities to pursue summer and graduate programs, with additional scholarship considerations.

Keep on Truckin': The Social Life of a Log Trailer in Eureka, CA between 1880-1940

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Eureka Ironworks, located in Old Town Eureka, was an iron manufacturing and fabrication company that was in business from the late 1800's through the 1940's. This project investigates the local economy and manufacturing process in the late 1800's through early 1900's, by focusing on the fabrication of log trailers. Through archival research in the Eureka Ironworks Historical Collection and Humboldt Room, this project aims to examine the social life of a log trailer in order to understand how this product fit into the Humboldt County economy. This research traces the log trailer from schematic, through fabrication, to its use in the local lumber industry.

Keeping it Glassy: Skeletal Analysis of Ancient Mesoamerican Obsidian Weapons

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

The project examined the damage caused to skeletal remains by ancient Mesoamerican weapons, due to the lack of research into this topic. The project focused on macuahuitls, wooden clubs lined with obsidian blades, which were produced through a combination of ancient and modern techniques. These weapons were then tested on animal crania acquired from a local butcher. The preliminary results show that the weapons left similar patterns of damage to the skeletal remains while having unique characteristics reflective of the individual weapon. These results show potential for future research in the area that could be compiled into a database similar to those used today for modern forensic cases.

Kiss Me Kate, Costume Design

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

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.
