The Beautiful Body Project
- Destiny AlcarazESM 435Undergraduate Student
College of Professional Studies
Eating disorders affect at least 9% of the world population (ANAD, 2020). About 28-74% of risk from eating disorders is through genetic heritability (ANAD, 2020). In the City of Whittier there is a lack of awareness and education on body positivity and eating disorders. The Beautiful Body Project will increase middle and high school student's awareness of eating disorders. It will also promote body positivity among these students. This program aims to provide resources for not only the students but also the community.
The Impacts of Soy on Patients with Hyperthyroidism
- Kelly WheelockKinesiologyUndergraduate Student
- Jake SmithKinesiologyGraduate Student
College of Professional Studies
Soy has become increasingly popular over the years. There have been both positive and negative benefits to consuming soy known to date. We aimed to show how the consumption of soy, particularly the phytoestrogen isoflavones components, affects patients with hyperthyroidism. Soy isoflavones are similar in both structure and function to human estrogen and can bind to mammalian estrogen receptors. This can create either estrogenic or anti-estrogenic effects. Hyperthyroidism is commonly influenced by estrogen activity so our study aimed to show how consuming soy can be beneficial.
Title 9 in Higher Education: Understanding the Struggles, Triumphs, and Setbacks of this Policy
- Georgina RuizEducationGraduate Student
- Chelsea RiosEducationUndergraduate Student
Other
In this research, we will talk about the correlations between the struggle for a fair and just system based on Title 9 as something that happens in a college environment. We argue that Title 9 is necessary to constitutionally protect people, but that the policy has its flaws. Rape, sexual assault, gender equity, are experiences that people are forced to overcome by sharing the trauma they underwent by acknowledging that this happened to them.
Traditionally Driven & Community Based Health Services
- Rhiannon RudickCellular and Molecular BiologyUndergraduate Student
College of Natural Resources & Sciences
At Humboldt State University, I study Cellular and Molecular Biology and have minors in Chemistry and Spanish. After I graduate with my Behavioral Science Degree, I plan to go to the College of the Redwoods to become a Registered Nurse. Going into the medical field to me means helping others and making a difference in the community I grew up in. My hope is to become a Registered Nurse and have the opportunity to work or volunteer with United Indian Health Services at Potawot Health Village or the Eureka Health Center. Being a part of an organization that focuses on health, sustainability, and Indigenous sovereignty would allow me to make real change in my community.
Travessia (arr. Paulinho Nogueira) on Vibraphone
- Isaac SaltoonMusicUndergraduate Student
College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences
The song Travessia (1967) is the title track on brazilian singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento's first studio album. The portuguese title translates to "bridges," which Nascimento used to sum up the transition felt during heartbreak. In 1980, brazilian jazz guitarist Paulinho Nogueira played a version of the Travessia on solo guitar with an additional intro. I found the music to Nogueira's version but I there were two main challenges in playing it on vibraphone: I needed to transpose the piece from E to F and I needed to find a way to express six-note guitar chords with four mallets. This piece was an immense challenge, but that felt like a slight inconvenience compared the joy it gave me.
University Singers
- Rachel SametMusicFaculty
College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences
HSU's choirs have found ways to make music together despite the huge obstacle of not being able to rehearse together as we normally do. We have been primarily working on "virtual choir" projects and performances. For these projects, we rehearsed together online and then the students each recorded their part for each piece we worked on individually. The individual recordings were then compiled to create the performance videos shown here. These videos are from Fall 2020: University Singers performs "Safe with Me," a new and poignant piece by Bryan Sharpe, as well as a fun arrangement of "Feeling Good," the iconic tune made famous by Nina Simone.
