One part of this culture that often gets overlooked is its national sport, Charreria. This sport involves El Charro, a sportsman well-dressed wearing his iconic sombrero, who shows his dominance over horses and bulls. This is an examination of the history of charreria, particularly a focus on the sports presence in the state of Oregon. I want to look at why charreria isn't as well known as other Mexican events like jaripeos and bailes. I want to know what is being done or can be done to share the sport with a wider audience. The charro is an iconic figure in Mexican culture; it is widely recognized, yet how many people know who he is and what he stands for?
I plan on accomplishing my goals in two main ways, through interviews and classic methods of research in both Spanish and English. These interviews will be with real charros and escaramuzas in the state of Oregon. I have access to many families and people who play an important role in the sports presence in Oregon, possibly in the United States. I also plan on doing a lot of research in both Spanish and English (using my bilingualism to its potential) to find the answers to all of my questions or at least the bigger ones. 		 Undergraduate Honors Thesis/Project 	Honors		 Ricardo Pelegrin-Taboada 			 Gavin Keulks 

As a cultural melting pot, America has a long history of immigration with people from all over the world congregating in this one country. Very few of the people living here today came from Native American descent, as most of American ancestry comes from outside of the country, making it feel as though it is a much more freely flowing, but controlled, nation of citizenship compared to the rest of the world. It’s become apparent in recent decades that there’s been much more corruption and mistreatment surrounding border patrol that has led to an increasing rate of violence and injustice towards immigrants, largely from Mexico. While there should be laws around keeping immigration controlled and organized, I want to persuade the public to not support a response to illegal immigration of violence or dehumanizing treatment. I want to see in what ways I can show the human side of the issue in order to gain sympathy from the public. I don’t want this to be controversial, but rather raise a discussion that may make people think differently and more humanely on the topic.
This is why I have decided to do an artistic mural for my project, as it can express these issues in a more powerful and unique way without seeming as though I am directly preaching to people. It could also be a form of representation for immigrants and have some of their stories being
4
heard. What ways could I inform and even persuade the public about immigration issues through a creative manner and my own stance on the topic that will also get people thinking about it and discussing it? This is a topic I’ve become passionate and informed about and wanted to express it in this creative project. 			Honors					 Gavin Keulks 

Despite federal protections such as Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504, LatinX students with learning disabilities (LDs) remain undiagnosed, misidentified, and underserved due to cultural stigma, linguistic bias, and inadequate educator training. By applying theories of Critical Race Theory, Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, this research will analyze how intersecting factors such as race, language, socioeconomic status, and disability affect the educational experiences of LatinX students with LDs. This thesis will also review existing literature and identify disparities in diagnosis/identification, placement, and discipline. Drawing from personal experience and academic research, this thesis will propose culturally responsive educator training and increased funding for inclusive resources as legislative strategies to help promote equity in educational settings. 			Honors		 Kristen Pratt 			 Gavin Keulks 

burnout as a student leader will be explored. Burnout is almost a right of
passage for many student leaders in this day and age. With some wearing
their burnout status as a badge of honor showing how dedicated they are to
their work. However, burnout is not something to be proud of. When
burnout is left unchecked it can create many unhealthy coping mechanisms
for students that lead to many different unhealthy behaviors that end up
being very hard to unlearn as adults in the workforce. This thesis plans on
defining burnout and how it affects student leaders, then moves on to
create a list of approximately 10 ‘tips and tricks’ to help minimize and cope
with burnout. I will also explore how the institutions themselves contribute
to burnout in their student leaders and what they can do in order to
minimize burnout. All from the perspective of a current college
undergraduate student who has experienced burnout. 			Honors		 Ashley Hortman-Cooper 			 Gavin Keulks 

I will be using this thesis to explore how her culture and status as a minority could have affected her life through a combination of primary and secondary sources. I will be focusing on the different stages of her life and some of the different settings that would have affected her, specifically her time at two residential schools and her move halfway across the country as an orphan. I want to explore how this time impacted her later in life and her choice to become a teacher at the residential schools she was at for much of her childhood.
Through this research I hope to expand the online platform – Oregon Women’s Consortium – to which his project was originally posted. The purpose of the Oregon Women’s Consortium is to shed light on the history of Oregon women who have been either ignored or under-researched. My project will provide a more thorough exploration of Eleanor Houk’s life story as well as the experiences she had because of her heritage. This will aid in creating a more complete history of important women in Oregon’s history. 			Honors		 Kimberley Jensen 			 Gavin Keulks 

An important part of my thesis will be making my own creative art projects that will take inspiration from Nintendo games I have played. This will allow me to prove the idea that Nintendo can be influential on creativity. This project will include examination of three different Nintendo Switch games as well as articles that are linked to the idea that video games and creativity are connected.

This population is especially vulnerable to disordered eating and eating disorders due to cultural pressures and expectations within the sport which emphasize thinness and losing weight in order to improve performance. These pressures result in many female runners turning towards disordered eating behaviors to meet their coaches’ expectations and improve their times. However, these behaviors can have many negative consequences that affect not just their performance but their overall health as well. In order to combat and prevent this issue, it is important to raise awareness about disordered eating and its consequences among female runners and those who frequently interact with them, such as coaches, athletic trainers, and family. While prevention is preferable, early intervention and treatment are also essential for limiting the damaging effects of disordered eating and promoting a full recovery for female runners. 			Honors		 Emily Vala-Haynes 			 Gavin Keulks 

Knowing where our food comes from and how it connects us to the people of the past is not only an enriching activity mentally but can bring some solace and help us recognize that history is the study of people. Combining my two interests in culinary arts and history, this project will allow me to dive into the past and help recover my mom’s recipes from before she passed away. I will connect those recipes to the people of the past. This project will explore questions such as: What is food scholarship? How can we contribute to the field of food scholarship? How does the family cookbook contribute to food scholarship in meaningful ways? To answer these questions, I will examine texts on food scholarship, analyze early American cookbooks as forms of food scholarship, and ask and potentially answer questions about the future of food scholarship and cookbooks in our digital age. This project aims not only to recover recipes from my past but also to turn them into a primary source and piece of food scholarship to help others springboard their pursuits in the field. When I am done, I will have 10 recipes that not only stand on their own as meals but provide a small insight into the history of their ingredients; I will have a literature review on what food scholarship is today as well as what its future may look like, and I will conclude with a reflective essay on what I learned and what influenced me and motivated me in the creation of the mini-cookbook. 		 Undergraduate Honors Thesis 	Honors		 Kenneth Kirby 			 Gavin Keulks 

Because people endure these daily stressors, they require and deserve access to services, therapies, and activities that bring them comfort, security, and pleasure. With this project, I aimed to find an artistic endeavor that allowed me to make my own escape from the realities of the world into one of comfort, something that I could look at and instantly feel better, and I knew I could do that by combining two subjects that interest me: architecture and animation. I began this project by planning and designing the subject of the paintings: Studio Ghibli movies and windows. I chose three different window styles and three different scenes from Studio Ghibli movies that appeal to me. Next, I considered why I had chosen animated films and windows as my subjects and researched them both. I applied a psychological lens considering why windows are important, emphasizing their benefit on mental health, and I reflected on why I think animated films are valuable as well. Once learning enough about my subjects, I combined the window frames and the landscapes into three cohesive paintings. I designed and cut the wood shapes and painted them. After completing my works, I contextualized and reflected on my project. I have produced a collection of artwork that addresses both architecture and mental health and well-being. It is my hope that my work will show windows and animation from a more introspective mindset and inspire others to create their own comfort spaces through art. 		 Undergraduate Honors Thesis 	Honors		 Jodie Garrison 			 Gavin Keulks 

The way the body moves can create connections between the dancer and the audience, allowing for the telling of a story or emotions without words, as evidenced by various studies. Through this outlet, I created my own dance that presents the challenges and struggles of mental health. Due to the negative stereotypes of mental disorders, it is vital that people bring awareness to how debilitating and difficult they are to have. Each section of the dance represents a different mental health illness that I have, including Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD. Many previous dancers have showcased mental health through dance before, and I use some of these as my own inspiration.

There is currently a great deal of research regarding strength training used within this population to improve performance and running economy, but there are far more gaps within the literature regarding how strength training can be used for injury prevention. I will begin my research by reviewing the current literature on hip-related overuse injuries within female runners, what potentially causes those injuries, and the current methodologies used for treatment and prevention. I will particularly focus on muscular weaknesses and imbalances within the hips that lead to overuse injuries, then I will research exercises/strength training methods that may be used to strengthen those areas. Based on this research, I will generate recommendations for strength training programs that female endurance athletes could employ into their training specifically as a method of injury-prevention. 		 Undergraduate Honors Thesis 	Honors		 Emily Vala-Haynes 			 Gavin Keulks 

There are many different models in place within schools used to support these students in acquiring English language proficiency and access academic content within the general education classroom, but these models are not standardized across schools, and some are more effective at supporting students that are emergent bilingual than others in providing an equitable educational experience for students. This thesis seeks to address this issue with a pedagogical approach by providing a thorough review of the models most commonly used to evaluate which method is most effective at supporting students in acquiring language proficiency while developing content knowledge. Although there are effective models in place, not all school districts can realistically implement them. To bridge the gap between equitable education and the models in place, this thesis also describes and models instructional strategies that can be implemented in the general education classroom by a monolingual teacher to provide the most equitable learning experience possible for all students. 		 Undergraduate Honors Thesis 	Honors		 Kristen L.

These are students whose first/home language is something other than English and have the potential to further develop bilingual or multilingual skills. There are clear advantages to expanding one’s linguistic repertoire; however, it requires cultivating language development within the classroom to make this happen successfully. This project will seek to amass the most effective and far-reaching instructional approaches for serving emergent bilingual students in the elementary classroom. After contextualizing my project using the data from two Oregon school districts’ Lau Plan, I will use the Castañeda Standards to judge the effectiveness of current program models. An argument is made for why students’ first/home language should be integrated into instructional approaches and leveraged for the benefit of the student. This project will conclude the most effective methods of reaching emergent bilingual students within the classroom, regardless of a teacher’s ESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages) training or certification. A digital toolkit aimed for streamlined implementation by educators is created, compiling the list of best practices found throughout this research process. 		 Undergraduate Honors Thesis 	Honors		 Jessica Dougherty 			 Gavin Keulks 

A solution to the lack of knowledge of their importance is to perfect the teaching of wetlands to the youth, or to expand it as needed. In this thesis, I will address the question “How can we spread the knowledge of the unique importance of wetlands to our ecosystem to the youth of today?” Additionally, I will identify the three most important aspects of wetlands and develop lesson plans oriented for students in grades 6-8. The end result will be three lesson plans teaching the three most important aspects of wetlands to the ecosystem: their flood protection; the unique animals that live there; and the unique plants that grow there. I will explore why wetlands need to be taught to students, and the best methods of creating lesson plans to ensure that students of all learning levels can get the information. In addition, I will review existing wetlands lesson plans, survey their merits and faults, and compare and contrast existing lesson plans with my own to identify the best practices for wetlands pedagogy. 		 Undergraduate Honors Thesis 	Honors		 Phillip Wad 			 Gavin Keulks 

This paper also delves specifically into how this issue affects students in Oregon and ways to alleviate the effects of period poverty, starting in schools. Drawing from global health reports, women’s health organizations, medical journals, and the Oregon Department of Education, this study points to both the pros and cons of current-day solutions to determine what has been successful in helping to manage the period poverty crisis as well as offering suggestions for improvements that could be made after taking data into account. It discusses period stigma, and how it directly relates to period poverty. It also presents a call to action, encouraging other states to consider implementing support that directly affects the decrease in experiencing the negative consequences of period poverty after analyzing best practices. It is concluded with personal connections and conclusions from the perspective of a newly licensed teacher reflecting on student impact. 		 Undergraduate Honors Thesis 	Honors		 Emily Vala-Haynes 			 Gavin Keulks 

In my opinion, studying abroad is one of the best ways to learn a second language because it immerses the learner in the language and surrounds them with lots of native speakers who can help with learning the language quickly and effectively. Language acquisition, host families, and active communication in a second language are all directly related to studying abroad and will all be examined through a variety of sources and studies. Language acquisition shows the academic advantages a person has gained from studying abroad because it indicates the capacity the person has to perceive and comprehend the language. In this experiential learning project, I will focus on my own experience studying abroad, comparing it with research from experts in the field. Studying abroad has such a large impact on language acquisition because the student is immersed in the language and culture, and because of that is able to experience benefits that will be highlighted through my own study abroad experience. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Claudia Costagliola 			 Gavin Keulks 

Many factors could be behind why some individuals feel that labels are helpful and some do not, such as one's background. Factors such as socioeconomic background, ethnicity, cultural identity, gender, and even age can be attributed to the divide in viewpoints, which has, in turn, caused a divide within the community. This divide has caused debate over many topics within the LGBTQIA+ community, causing some individuals to feel excluded because of their views on label usage. This paper will examine the viewpoints within the LGBTQIA+ community toward the usage of labels. I will evaluate the extent of the discourse with the community, seeking to determine whether label usage is due to factors such as individuals' backgrounds or something else. Then I will use the evidence I have found from my sources to attempt to explain the main factors behind why people are so divided on the topic of label usage within the LGBT community. At the end of my paper, I hope to understand better and explain why some people find labels beneficial while others might find them harmful and what we can learn from those reactions. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Dana Schowalter 			 Gavin Keulks 

Any realist must accept that those with rival ideologies cannot agree on everything, however, that does not mean that they cannot strive for peaceful coexistence. This is a lesson that must be taught to younger generations if we ever hope to overcome these conflicts that divide us. The beginning of this journey is an increase in empathy, an endeavor which I will contribute to with a children’s book that teaches the importance of finding common ground with those whom it might seem most difficult to do so. This book will be based on research of empathy and the impact that children’s literature has on young minds. I will be designing characters and scenarios that will provide children with an example of a conflict that they may be able to recognize from their own experiences. The illustrations that I create for the story will not only support this storyline, but emphasize the emotional states of the characters so that readers are better able to empathize with their situation. My work will result in a picture book designed to exemplify to children how they can empathize with others and use that ability to resolve conflict. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Marie LeJeune 			 Gavin Keulks 

These new ways of treatment are viewed as less harmful in the long run because there are fewer risks compared to traditional treatments of genetic larger diseases. However, the ethics behind this treatment are divided. Many believe there should be no gene-editing human intervention when it comes to treating diseases; others think it is a viable option for those who truly need it. In addition this technology is currently very expensive. This gives rise to ethical questions about the equity of its use and the fair access of this technique to all socioeconomic groups within our society. Furthermore, there are other potential unethical uses of this technology such as for personal enhancement or for the creation of designer babies (i.e. picking and choosing which features will appear in offspring) that have ethical implications. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Patricia Flatt 			 Gavin Keulks 

A prominent emphasis was placed on whether individuals will be more likely to have a bias toward something visible (physical disability) compared to something invisible (mental illness). There was a mean age of 22.61 (SD=7.15), and data was obtained from 55 individuals (41 females, 10 males, and 4 non-binary/third gender). The participants were randomly assigned to read a vignette with an assigned picture and then completed a “Perceptions,” “Social Attitudes,” and “Attitudes” Questionnaire. One-way ANOVA’s were used in order to conclude that there was not a significant difference in perceptions (stigma) & attitudes; F(3,49)=.184, p=.907; F(3, 49)=.356, p=.785. However, there were significant differences for the social attitudes questionnaires: F(3,27)= 4.021, p=.012. These findings suggest that there could be a decrease in stigmas and attitudes towards individuals with mental illnesses and physical disabilities in some areas while suggesting there are still negative social attitudes that need to be addressed in other areas. This study suggests that further research on their similarities and differences should be conducted to understand what stigmas individuals face, and how these stigmas can be tackled. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Brent King 			 Gavin Keulks 

The purpose of the current study was to explore a niche in this research domain to determine if the language of the background music has an impact on the amount of information retained. I predicted that participants who listened to English lyrics would retain less information than participants who listened to Japanese lyrics (as the non-native lyrics will require less attention), and participants in both lyric conditions would retain less than participants in the no-lyrics condition. Participants (N = 82) were randomly assigned to listen to a music track with either English lyrics, Japanese lyrics, or no lyrics while reading a passage from “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott and then take a short quiz regarding what they read.

The Icelandic sagas shape modern understanding of medieval Icelandic tradition and law, including the institution of marriage. This institution built families, transferred wealth, and created alliances within Norse society. The sagas, written mostly in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, portray a different image of women’s roles than the eleventh-century Icelandic law codes. The tenth-century introduction of Catholicism influenced the writing of both the sagas and law codes, and the way women’s roles were defined within them. One way to explore this complication in the sagas and law codes is by focusing on marriage and divorce. Historians study the way Norse unions began and ended to understand women’s roles, positions, and dexterity within the marriages and betrothals in Viking age. This analysis discusses women’s rights in marital consent and divorce, using Icelandic family sagas, historical kings’ sagas, and Grágás, the first Icelandic law code. This analysis defines women’s roles in the process of consent and divorce in both law codes and Icelandic sagas, analyzes the discrepancies between the two, and explores the Catholic Church’s moral influence on divorce and consent. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Elizabeth Swedo 			 Gavin Keulks 

At this time, several studies have strongly encouraged parents to sign with their children due to the long list of potential benefits, whereas others have argued that this method produced no real or lasting impact. Incorporating research-based evidence, this thesis demonstrates how using baby sign language with children can be a useful tool while also clarifying to prospective parents that several of the benefits of this practice are not guaranteed. It also urges the inclusion of the Deaf community’s input on the matter–a perspective that is generally overlooked on this topic–due to this being crucial for implementing best practices while signing with children.

These urban areas can be restored with the addition of basking habitat and are highly valuable in urban areas with high visitor usage. This creates a potential conflict between effectively restoring basking habitat and possible disturbance of the animals. We examined this conflict and experimentally tested a potential resolution at the semi-urbanized Minto Brown Island Park, in Salem, Oregon. Examination of basking behavior of turtles (Red-eared Sliders, Northwestern Pond Turtles, and Western Painted Turtles) in response to human recreation in this park suggest that turtles may avoid sites with large numbers of people, raising the question whether basking structures currently being deployed could be improved to shield turtles from people. We determine the effect of a curtain of plants on the basking rates of turtles. Basking is a behavior that turtles exhibit where they exit the water and rest in the sun absorbing its thermal energy. It is integral to maintaining turtles’ thermoregulation. Other studies determined there was a correlation in the basking time of turtles with the presence of a wall of visibility between the turtles and predators. This was only ever seen in an observational system of study. In this study we experimentally modified basking structures at three different sites varying in number of recreationists. At each site we deployed two basking structures: a control structure based on the current structure design with an added floating ring of PVC, and an experimentally modified platform with plants (Carex and Juncus plugs) planted in the PVC ring, creating a blind. Use of the structures was quantified utilizing a camera monitoring system where images were taken every 15 minutes from 7 am to 7 pm between April 22nd and October 16th. We also remotely recorded light and temperature levels on the platform. The temperatures and light levels were not significantly different between the platform types. The planted platform was shown to have higher turtle presence across all sights compared to the bare platform. At one of the sites there was a high number of juvenile turtle sightings, with a significant association of juvenile turtles with the modified platforms. Overall the modified platforms had a significant association with turtle presence, suggesting that these platforms could be a valuable tool in ongoing efforts to restore habitats for threatened turtle species 		 Honors Thesis 			 Gareth Hopkins 			 Gavin Keulks 

Knowing what qualities and strategies make a good leader and how to utilize them can help coaches in their profession, as well as in other everyday aspects of life. En route to my future career as a coach, this project will help to explore questions such as: What lessons should a prospective coach learn? What practices lead to consistent and sustainable success, not just in sports but in life? In order to answer these questions, I will examine texts on leadership as well as my own experiences. It is important to understand that there are different leadership styles that are useful in different situations, so an array of leadership abilities is important. I will analyze different styles of leadership from motivational leaders and successful coaches, while also reflecting on the current successes and shortcomings of my leadership ability, and learning how I can adapt my leadership style to different situations. The aim of this project is to become a better leader now and in the future, along with gaining a better understanding of different types of leadership. When I am done, I will have produced a report on multiple leadership books, as well as a reflection on my past experiences as a leader, where I can examine my successes and shortcomings. Those two sections will help me create the final section, where I will discuss how my new leadership abilities will help me to be a better leader and coach in the future. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Anna Mahony 			 Gavin Keulks 

A focus on one will, generally, lead to a decrease in the other. There are sports, however, that require a balance between strength and cardiovascular endurance. Finding this balance is a very difficult and fragile task due to the differences in body type and function required for both of these fitness modalities. To explore the relationship between these two aspects of fitness, I will undertake a wellness training plan to uncover how to maximize my strength and cardio concurrently and efficiently. Since strength and cardio can counteract each other, there has to be a knowledgeable plan in place to increase both at the same time. This project will require outside research that will inform the best practices of my training plan. To implement a research-based training plan, I will need to discover the movements and time domains that will produce the most out of my cardiovascular and strength potential. This will require me to find the scientific basis behind strength training on its own, cardiovascular capacity on its own, and how they interact together. Along with this, finding examples of athletes, who have been successful in the fields of both strength and cardiovascular capacity, will provide real world examples for me to learn from. To physically test this information I will be competing in a real life CrossFit competition which tests both strength and cardiovascular capacity. This competition will begin on February 25, 2023, and go on for three weeks. There will be three to four workouts released over the three week period, and they will either test maximum output strength, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, or a mixture of these. The workouts are scored by measuring total weight, time completed, or reps completed. My scores from these workouts will be compared to the rest of the field, which is worldwide in scope. The top ten percent will move on to quarterfinals, and the top ten from quarterfinals will move on to semifinals. From this point, the most elite CrossFit athletes in the world move on to the CrossFit Games. This year I will be able to make it to quarterfinals, so my comparative data will be representative of the first two stages of this competition. My research-based training plan will hopefully put me on the right track to improve my strength and cardiovascular capacity and prepare me for success in this CrossFit competition. Will implementing the information of the research into my training benefit the results of my competition? If not, what are the reasons that things didn’t go as well as I had hoped? The goal is for this wellness project to give me insight into the relationship between strength and cardiovascular capacity and, subsequently, help me to improve at both aspects. Lastly, the results of the competition should allow me to make some final conclusions about this tricky relationship. This project should be able to shed some light on the relationship between strength and cardiovascular capacity so that they are no longer seen as counterintuitive, but as counterparts instead. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Dave Plotts 			 Gavin Keulks 

More specifically, I will analyze selected philosophical writings of Socrates, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant to determine whether or not (or to what extent) attributes in the Christine doctrine render the concept of moral decisions invalid. Does, for instance, the concept of an omnipotent and omnipresent God invalidate the idea of individuals being capable of “pure” morality – doing moral things for the sake of being moral versus to avoid possible divine punishment. This project will not be made up of specific hypothetical examples or situations; nor will I discuss specific types of people and the effect circumstance could have on the decision. Rather, the main focus will be whether, philosophically, the perceived threat of divine wrath is enough of a motivator to make a decision no longer moral in its own aspect according to the philosophical definitions of morality established by Socrates, Hume, and Kant. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Ryan Hickerson 			 Gavin Keulks 

If these tasks require using foundational math skills then our question is, “How do we improve the connection between classroom instruction of mathematics and the home unit?” There are academic practices that teachers can use inside their classrooms which also translate to tools that they can send home to families to encourage partnership between classroom instruction and the home unit. Examples of these tools include family math nights that bring everyone together to partake in math activities, weekly letters home that inform parents of what is being taught in the classroom and give support for continued learning at home, and math games that help students see the joy in learning math wherever they are. This thesis will analyze how these mathematical practices for 8 year olds are important not only for teachers and families, but for school administrators, legislative leaders, and curriculum designers. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Kait Hodgin 			 Gavin Keulks 

Based on the lack of women in this field, it is likely there is a stigma around women in computer science. Though there has been growth in the number of women pursuing the computer science field, this has not always been the case and the divide is still significantly large. This thesis examines the recent statistics, investigates the obstacles that women face, and highlights potential solutions to improving equality in this field. To understand the divide women face in computer science, learning what obstacles present themselves and when these obstacles occur can lead to a stronger comprehension of the problem at hand and how the raised solutions can work to close the gap. Once there is an understanding of these common obstacles, it is necessary to see how particular solutions can affect outcomes. Including real-life examples of the obstacles and experiences being discussed in research provides a stronger understanding of what it is like to be a woman in STEM and demonstrates the necessity of improving this field. By examining the past and present, this research can illustrate the importance of making computer science more equal and inclusive to all. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Breeann Flesch 			 Gavin Keulks 

Despite this, indigenous women have been woefully underrepresented in the historical narrative of Nigerian nationalism. This study has two aims: to argue that the Women’s War of 1929 was a catalyst for Nigerian nationalism, and to examine how these women have and have not been included in the narrative. This study employs court records alongside historiographic literature to achieve these goals, examining the evidence through a postcolonial and feminist lens. Some common trends in the historiography include: presenting women as significant actors in the War but not as influencers of nationalism; presenting the War as an expression of or catalyst for nationalism but diminishing the role that women played; and mentioning the War only as a footnote in nationalist histories, often without mentioning the women and/or referring to the event as an example of early colonial resistance rather than as an example of or catalyst for true nationalism. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Patricia Goldsworthy-Bishop 			 Gavin Keulks 

I have always been interested in art and creating things that are unique to me. Unlike before, my parents greatly encouraged this interest because I had shown extreme interest in it. I took my first art class in middle school, and that was where I got a good idea of what I liked besides saying that I liked "art" in general. I liked drawing, specifically with a pencil. From there, I took more classes in high school that helped grow my interest in drawing and the different styles of creating pictures and images. To narrow down my interest in portraits that would come later in my first year of college where I made my first self-portrait. It was not something I was particularly proud of. However, it has been something that has driven this need to practice this ability and eventually create a piece I am proud to say is mine. Today I am currently an art major. I have taken many drawing classes to continue to practice drawing and hone my artistic skill. This class was my inspiration for following the idea of portraiture. I have found an interest in creating the human form as I see it before me, and a readily
available model is one's self. As a person, I will constantly be changing as I get older, especially in my views of myself. By creating a self-portrait, I will have a piece that not only depicts me as I am today but will hold a piece of today's self to look back on in the future that will most likely not be able to be recreated. 		 Honors Thesis 			 Gregory Poulin 			 Gavin Keulks 

The change in leadership of the federal government at the end of the war disrupted the programs of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director J. Edgar Hoover once President Harry S. Truman founded the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in early 1946. Recently released FBI documents provide new evidence demonstrating how the relationships between these leaders affected the development of the intelligence community including the creation of the National Security Council (NSC). The uneasy relationship between President Truman and J. Edgar Hoover in the late 1940s and early 1950s provided checks and balances for both men whose goals included expansion of power for their individual offices. 			History		 David Doellinger | Kim Jensen 

A review of various primary sources from World War I, such as war-time legislative orders and federal government propaganda campaigns, demonstrates examples of how these violations exacerbated division within American society, leading to mob activity and a proliferation of extra-legal vigilantism. Citizen turned against citizen as vigilante organizations such as the federally endorsed American Protective League spread across the country, enforcing federal will. During World War I, zealous patriotism campaigned by wealthy, white American men, transformed the federal government into a powerful and autocratic force and through implementation of patriotic based policies, coerced Americans into a wave of vigilantism and at the very least, reinforced certain social turbulences such as classism and racism. World War I distinguishes an era in which a new U.S. wartime government used legislative power and patriotic propaganda to further establish centralized control. This was made possible through the indoctrination of the patriot, the inculcation of blind obedience and a pledge to 100% Americanism. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

The gut microbiota plays an important role in the host organism’s well-being, contributing to the host’s immunity and metabolism. An individual’s total gut microbiota is dynamic, fluctuating in response to changes in diet and environmental stressors; however, a host often has a subset of gut microorganisms, known as the core gut microbiome, which is consistent among individuals in a population. To study the gut microbiota, we are using the common garden snail, Helix aspersa, as our model organism. In the past, culture-based studies have been used to identify bacteria from the gut of Helix aspersa raised on processed food sources, which can alter the gut microbiota. Little has been done using metagenomics to determine the natural gut microbiota or identify a core microbiome. We analyzed 16S bacterial diversity in the feces of wild-caught snails using high-throughput Illumina sequencing of the V1 and V2 variable regions. Our results show a gut microbiota dominated by Gammaproteobacteria, particularly members of genus Buttiauxella. This finding was notable in that several early culture-based studies identified this genus as snail specific. More recent DNA-based work has identified this genus at low levels in soil and water environments. Given these data, we assessed the microbial community present on the snail food source, confirming low levels of Buttiauxella and high levels of Pseudomonas. This finding suggests that Helix selectively uptake microbes from their food-source and/or avoid potentially harmful Pseudomonas. We are using FISH microscopy and plating techniques to study changes in the gut microbiota of individual snails in response to changes in their feeding regimen, and exposure to antibiotics or bacterial stressors. 			Biology					 Michael Baltzley;S.

Emerging studies suggest that ±3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), or “ecstasy”, may prove beneficial in treating PTSD in combination with conventional psychotherapy. By acting on the 5-HT transporter in the brain, MDMA has been found to have positive effects on brain activity; encouraging neuroplasticity through the accumulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Integrating psychoactive drugs into polytrauma therapy will broaden our understanding of the components involved in maintaining wellness in the human psyche. 			 Health/Exercise Science 		 Warren Allen 

An inventory of the remains was conducted, accounting for skeletal condition and presence or absence of bones. Using previously accepted standard methods, the sex and the age will be assessed using metric characteristics: sternal length and long bone circumference, and non-metric characteristics: morphology of the sciatic notch and preauricular sulcus. A previous study of these remains used epiphyseal unions to narrow the age range to between 20 to 25 years (Lewis 2012). 			 Criminal Justice 		 Misty Weitzel 

This experiment’s objective is to confirm the results of studies that have already been conducted by other members of the forensic community as well as provide insight into which substances burn at a faster rate. As of now, there is a lot of information about the process in which flesh and bone are cremated, but little information on which substances burn at a faster rate. Understanding the fuel as it is tied to the rate of human decomposition will aid the investigator in estimating time since death in cases of attempted cremation. Three domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica) legs were used in this experiment with both flesh and bone intact (“ham” section). After attending this presentation, observers will leave with new knowledge of which substance out of the three that were tested (wood, coal, and gasoline) cremate remains (in this case pig legs) at a faster rate. 			 Criminal Justice 		 Misty Weitzel 

According to the FBI’s Unified Crime Report, of the nearly 12,000 people murdered in 2014, over 1,500 were killed by sharp force trauma with cutting instruments. While much research has been dedicated towards understanding the different effects on bone caused by sharp and blunt force trauma, forensic anthropology is only beginning to differentiate between individual weapons. Currently, perimortem trauma associated with knives is understood to present as predominantly clean, linear puncture damage, rarely exhibiting radiating or concentric fractures; however, it has been observed that different types of knives create distinctive features. Thompson and Inglis (2009) found that fracture patterns from stab marks could indicate the use of either a serrated or non-serrated blade. To test this hypothesis, this study will measure stab wounds inflicted by a third party on the ribs of a domestic pig, and identify them as either serrated or non-serrated. An error rate will then be calculated to determine the overall precision of the technique. 					 Misty Weitzel 

This theory addresses the way combed vectors can be visualized by thinking of the hair on an individual’s head or the spines of a rolled-up hedgehog, and how there will always be a zero vector or a cowlick. Look into how the Theorem might interact with higher dimensions or with other shapes in 3-D. Covering how Hopf Fibrations might explain why the Hairy Ball Theorem always holds true. After looking at the proof the question will be posed, “How would manipulated vectors on a shape other than a sphere, specifically a torus or donut shape, behave?” This article is meant to get creative mathematical juices going and encourage us to question, “What if”. 			Mathematics		 Ben Cote 

These administrators don’t know when someone changes something on their switches unless they manually check the configuration to see if a change has occurred.
The solution automatically writes switch configurations to an online archive. This automates a manual task that doesn’t happen each time a configuration changes. It also notifies administrators when a change occurs on one of their devices, allowing them to accept or reject these changes. In addition, they can restore previous configurations if they so choose.
This solution provides reliable automatic backups, versioning, the ability to revert unwanted changes to a known good state, and knowledge of the changes that happen in our environment along with when they happen. 			 Computer Science 		 Ted Beers 

Specifically for children and adolescents, those impacts can be even more severe, especially for those without access to the resources and support necessary to engage in the healing process. Implementing trauma-informed care in pediatric primary care settings allows medical providers to address trauma and its array of physiological and psychological symptoms early and effectively. Research indicates this can be accomplished by facilitating conversations, building relationships, and initiating referrals to mental health services. Trauma-informed care can be implemented in strategic and cost-effective manners among both healthcare providers and their office staff, achieving a cohesive and integrated approach to care. Ultimately, the support provided through trauma-informed care improves long-term health outcomes for patients and reduces the need for high-cost and/or long-term interventions. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Brooke Dolenc Nott 

Since then, with the increase of technological efficiency in computer programming and processing, IFS based fractals have become relatively normal in terms of their appearance. How? Digital fractal based art. Through the chaos game, and fractal flames, it becomes possible to create unique pieces of digital art purely through programing and math. In this video, we will give a very brief overview of how the chaos game works, and its applications in creating works of digital art, as well as a brief overview of fractal flames, and their processes for creating art through math and programming. 			Mathematics		 Benjamin Coté 

In this presentation we will briefly see what a frieze pattern is in architecture/art and see how that compares to frieze patterns in mathematics. There are 7 frieze groups that all frieze patterns follow. They include: step, hop, spinning hop, sidle, spinning sidle, jump and spinning jump. We will also look at polygons with n sides and see how they are related to frieze patterns and their composition. There are three main types of friezes that we will focus on, Conway-Coxeter friezes, additive friezes, and NIM friezes. 			Mathematics		 Benjamin Cote 

However, we will mostly be working on the findings of Micheal Barnsley. More specifically, we will be using his creation of the Barnsley fern, which uses iterated function systems (IFSs), as a basis for generating a specific fern found in nature, the Western Sword fern. Along with IFSs, the Barnsley Fern uses matrices and affine transformations to generate the fern, something we will use in our process as well. 			Mathematics		 Ben Coté 

The purpose of this Process Improvement Project (PIP) was to design and administer an exit survey to assess the long-term stability of clients who utilized services from the Polk County Family and Community Outreach (FCO) division. The exit survey was developed to meet several goals: to communicate client outcomes to funders to obtain grants, identify and improve unmet needs within the services offered, and to collect client experiences. The research was conducted on evidence-based survey design, the incorporation of incentives, the impact of public assistance on health and well-being, and the role of text messaging technology in health care interventions. Findings indicate that this assessment method displays a strong potential for FCO to analyze assistance effectiveness and adapt services to meet the current needs of their clients. 			Nursing		 Holly Andreosky 

A knot is a three-dimensional object, so any two-dimensional diagram of that knot must consist of a set of crossings and set of strands that indicate the behavior of the three-dimensional object. Past authors have defined knot coloring using a system of equations at the crossings in the knot diagram. Since we can associate a knot with a strand adjacency graph, here we investigate whether a knot’s associated graph can be used to provide a non-algebraic version of colorability. We explore a couple different arrangements for a strand adjacency graph and the results that occur under several types of colorability. Along the way, we also take a look at cablings of knots and their distinctions from prime knots in these results. 			Mathematics		 Ben Cote 

This platform assists in organizing bill information to prevent overdrafts and late fees that can accumulate over time. When a financial goal is set, the project assists in maintaining that goal by providing real time comparison of current spending against the user’s goal. Billable is not only a place to gather, organize, and track financial information, but it is also a way to enhance the user’s potential and ability to effectively manage their personal finances. Most importantly, Billable provides bill information and history in a centralized repository. 			 Computer Science 		 Ted Beers 

Anxiety can be impacted by a number of factors, but this research explores the connection between anxiety and childhood trauma as well as prevention strategies. Three research articles were analyzed specifically related to anxiety at the neurobiological level and the impact of early childhood trauma on adult anxiety. Findings indicate that the effects of childhood trauma are similar to the behavior and neurobiology of a person diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Trauma survivors may suffer from anxiety, abandonment/trust concerns, as well as an increased stress response. These neurological responses, if prolonged enough, can also lead to the development of an anxiety disorder. In order to assuage anxiety in trauma survivors, specifically in children, screening for trauma at younger ages to can help trauma responses from becoming anxiety disorders. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Brooke Dolenc Nott 

It is known as a fun, numerical sequence that builds on itself to infinity. As it turns out, the Fibonacci Sequence is more than a quirky additive sequence, it’s a foundational component to several different branches of mathematics. It’s basic formula can be tweaked ever so slightly to produce Pell numbers, various metallic ratios, and Pisano Periods, just to name a few. The Fibonacci’s original formula famously produces the Golden ratio and Golden Spiral which people across the world claim to see in nature, art, and science. In this presentation we will show where the Fibonacci is famously found, along with lesser known places in mathematics. It will show that we aren’t seeing the Golden Spiral everywhere, that the maths and ratios are integral to each spiral we see, and what you are seeing may not be the spiral you’re looking for. 			Mathematics		 Ben Cote' 

Recent research indicates that the client-choice model, in which customers get to choose items in a grocery store-like setting, is a much more effective method of running a food pantry. However, there has not been scholarly research into the best practices for organizing and restocking items at client-choice pantries, which can significantly affect the quality and amount of food a customer has the opportunity to shop for. This research outlines a method of using common probability and statistics techniques to quantify the expected equity and risk of products expiring to find an optimal restocking method. 			Mathematics		 Leanne Merrill 

Children benefit from a mentor invested in their future success but attaining a meaningful mentoring relationship is multi-faceted. This project examined two research articles about the Big Brother Big Sister program related to expectations and closure with mentoring relationships and the subsequent impact on youth. This analysis was also compared to the authors’ own experiences with mentoring. Findings indicated that youth and adults had different expectations regarding the mentoring relationships - with youth emphasizing self-sufficiency and “having fun.” The end of the mentoring relationship also played a significant role in the child’s life and perception of the program. The research shows a side of mentoring that is more implicit than just a cursory relationship, and these social interactions can be crucial to children’s growth. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Brooke Dolenc Nott 

For over 40 years the Dance Program at Western Oregon University has produced a performance of faculty, guest artist, and student choreography. This culminating event is called the Spring Dance Concert. Unfortunately, this year the dance concert was canceled due to the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic. This film was directed and edited by the new head of the dance program, Timothy Cowart. It is dedicated to the talented dance majors, minors, and dance faculty members who worked for several months pouring their time, effort, and artistry into the endeavor. It serves as a window into their creative process and a testimony to their efforts. 			Theatre/Dance		 Tim Cowert 

The plot of the film follows the road trip Guevara takes with his friend Alberto Granado on an old motorcycle through South America. As they witness poverty and inequality across the continent, there are many instances where it would seem that Ernesto is beginning to form the communist ideologies which eventually guide him to be the face of revolution. The film downplays these ideologies by only commenting on classism through the use of material signs, which Ernesto overcomes physically rather than philosophically. This depiction of material problems with physical solutions creates a simpler situation for the audience to comprehend; one in which the morality of Ernesto is unquestionable, and his selflessness is emphasized through physical sacrifice. 			 Communication Studies 		 Emily Plec 

The research dives into the problems caused by current marijuana employment law, steps other states are taking to address similar issues and steps previously taken by Oregon legislators to address this issue. Finally, the research illustrates the process and challenges of creating a comprehensive legislative report that clearly defines the problems rooted within the lack of employment protections and offers practical solutions that reflect legislative action taken in other states. The development of this project provides insight into the preliminary stages of the legislative process where the genesis of law, beginning as an idea, makes its transition towards becoming a sponsored piece of legislation. 			 Political Science 		 Mary Pettenger 

The purpose of the current study was to explore the effect that mentoring, and sex differences had on the perceptions of academic success in at-risk minority youth. It was predicted that participants would rate students with mentors as more likely to succeed academically in their future. It was also predicted that participants would rate female at-risk minority students higher in terms of future academic success compared to males if they had a mentor, as well as if they did not have a mentor. Participants (N = 29) were college students recruited at Western Oregon University through SONA. They were randomly assigned to read one of four scenarios of an at-risk minority youth’s life and rate their future academic success based on the resources that were provided to them. Results confirmed the prediction that at-risk minority students with a mentor would be perceived as significantly more likely to succeed academically in their future, but there was no significant difference in rating within the sex of the student. The implementation of the results in this study could positively influence parents, teachers, principals, representatives in school boards, etc., by giving them a message that all students can significantly benefit from mentoring independent of their sex. The finding that students who have a mentor are perceived as more successful is meaningful because research indicates that other’s expectations of individuals influences actual outcomes and behaviors. Past research suggests that youth may act as is expected for them to act. If at-risk minority youth are expected to be successful with a mentor, this indicates that the more mentoring provided for youth could be beneficial. Future research on the structure of mentoring programs that best fits the needs of at-risk minority youth, longer-term mentoring programs, and recruitment for more mentor volunteers is warranted. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Brooke Dolenc Nott 

Research has demonstrated that children and adolescents with a growth mindset are likely to challenge themselves more often, persevere when they encounter difficulties, and have a higher level of academic achievement compared to those with a fixed mindset. A growth mindset is believing one can develop skills and talents, and this mindset leads to several positive youth outcomes (Dweck, 2019). A fixed mindset means believing that intelligence and talents are simply fixed traits, and this mindset can create barriers for youth because of believing they are not capable of accomplishing certain skills and goals. (Clear, 2018). However, research proves it is possible to transform fixed mindsets into growth mindsets.
A lack of empirical understanding on how youth articulate their understanding of growth mindsets as well as how the construct and mentoring might integrate exists. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine if and how mentoring could be used to increase growth mindsets in adolescents and to understand what a growth mindset means to adolescents in a mentoring context.
The present study used a type of participatory action research known as Photovoice to investigate these relationships. This method of research employs techniques that can capture data derived from youth perspectives, with the idea that these perspectives can provide details of existing problems that face youth. The objective of Photovoice is to support the self-empowerment of participants by providing them with an opportunity to express their experiences and “speak” through photographs about issues that challenge them, to connect with others in their community, and advocate for change. Photovoice engages those who do not usually have a say in the decisions that affect their daily lives, such as middle school students, as a way for them to deepen their understanding of an issue.
Because of Covid-19, we were unable to proceed with our research with the Talmadge Middle School and Western Oregon University Mentoring Program. However, using pilot study data, it was determined that youth saw the value of hard work to achieve a goal, as opposed to giving up, because the process was meaningful. Additionally, it was found that adults who do not listen or empathize with youths’ feelings were viewed as an obstacle to growth mindsets for youth.
The use of Photovoice in a mentoring context engages adolescents in power-sharing research, creating a sense of belonging and empowerment that their perspectives are being heard, evaluated and, represented. Mentors can help children feel confident in their skills due to the guidance provided in the development of a growth mindset. Mentors play a unique part in this development because they can guide adolescent students to cultivate skills. This is important because the adoption and integration of a growth mindset has been shown to improve emotional, social, relational, and psychological well-being in youth. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Brooke Dolenc Nott 

There are event planning websites out there that allow me to organize the details….and even social media apps that keep me connected with my friends. Maybe I could invite them! I wish there were a convenient hub that wrapped all these features up together for me.”
Well your wait has come to an end.
Planning a road trip can be quite the hassle. After doing a great amount of research into similar web apps, we found that none of them took all these aspects and brought them together. Our project idea makes the lives of our users more convenient, and those who want to plan an intricate trip can now do so quickly and accurately. Our project, Roadtrip, combines trip planning and organization with social media features to allow our users to easily navigate the difficulty of creating a road trip from start to finish- while also integrating key social features to keep them connected. These features include: auto-generating an optimal route with the Ant Colony Optimization (ACS) algorithm; saving routes for future use; gaining access to details of different establishments along your route; and creating events- of which any user can join you on your trip; among many others.
Here, we present a short video- meeting the team, demonstrating our progress so far, and discussing future visions. 			 Computer Science 		 Becka Morgan 

Millions of people in the United States suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome with symptoms triggered by what are known as FODMAPs. The presence of FODMAPs are not clearly shown on food labels and thus may be challenging to avoid. This video demonstrates a software solution developed by several undergraduates from Western Oregon University’s Computer Science Department to help people suffering from IBS more easily identify triggering foods. They have developed a web application that allows users to explore foods, both generic and from wellknown name brands, and determine whether they are suitable for their diet. The search is backed by the USDA database, and will display information about the foods’ ingredients and nutrition as well as a FODMAP ranking based on a proprietary algorithm. The application also allows users to dynamically label ingredients as high or low risk to allow for a more individualized experience. Users can create lists of foods which they can print to bring to the grocery store, and they can also view other users’ lists to foster a sense of community. Additionally, a mobile android application has also been integrated so that users can search for foods directly in the store and get a quick score for foods they're unsure about. From mobile, searching for foods is as easy as scanning a barcode while in the store to bring up details about that food. Because high risk foods are not labeled as having FODMAPs, the necessity for a solution is all the more crucial. This easy to use software solution fulfills the important role of helping people with IBS easily access specific information about foods and manage their symptoms. 			 Computer Science 		 Becka Morgan 

This achievement gap starts before birth, as children’s rapid early development is affected by their environments and later by their social interactions. Through a civic engagement project, I set out to analyze and propose changes to reduce the disparities in early experiences for children from low-versus-high-socioeconomic backgrounds. My original plan for this project, a book drive, fell through the cracks, as my research revealed that the root causes of the achievement gap cannot be addressed with simple solutions. Families today need serious financial and social support. My project morphed into advocacy for large-scale change through a showing of the documentary No Small Matter. This film draws viewers’ attention to the stress and hardship that millions of families face as they navigate economic instability and the United States’ bleak childcare landscape. It focuses on the potential that is lost for children experiencing high stress at such a crucial point in development, but No Small Matter does not leave viewers feeling hopeless. It spreads the message that by taking the early childhood education crisis head on, we can unlock every child’s full potential and propel ourselves to new heights. Through a documentary showing on WOU campus, I planned to bring that message, the conversation around it, and early childhood education problem solving to the WOU community. 			 Political Science 		 Mary Pettenger 

While one can always use a designated website to find what one is looking for, our team seized upon the opportunity to build a website useful for not only making these resources easier to navigate, but also put that functionality alongside other useful tools for the running of the game.
The D&D Tool Kit website is a tool kit that will provide useful tools and contain multiple visuals for the interaction of the user and the Dungeon Master. It will also contain visuals for the characters and enemies on the game board, allowing them to have more interaction with the website to create games, maps, and allow them to manage stats for their characters in a D&D game. Alternatively, if a viewer is only interested in searching for a specific monster, spell, or equipment for their session, we also provide easy access in order for them to enjoy the game in their separate environment. We give many viewers the opportunity and flexibility to enjoy D&D in their own way, and this was made for those who are interested to learn the game, have no fear and give it a try. 			 Computer Science 		 Becka Morgan 

The focus of the research is on patterns of conflict among Latinx that may come from cultural expectations. We will explore if the presence of conflict is perceived differently among those coming from a collectivistic culture and potential conflicts between emerging adults and parents. We discuss with students how these conflicts affect relationships and consequences that may emerge. As well as explore our ethnic cultural norms and experiences with conflict and non-family related issues and challenges. In addition to exploring possible conflicts the Latinx population may experience we will provide psychoeducation and coping skills that can support mental health when facing conflict. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Alicia Ibaraki 

Little research, however, addresses the process of team creativity; in part, because of the difficulty in measuring creative processes within teams. Our research proposes to demonstrate that patterns of language usage occurring during team interactions can be used as indicators of creative behavior. Previous studies indicate that variation in creativity can be explained by linguistic features. This current study aims to replicate previous findings (Foster & Murfin, 2016) using the creative behaviors of problem finding/formulation; information gathering; ideation; and idea evaluation. Participants in 43, three-person groups completed two intellective, problem-solving scenarios, rank ordering objects for their importance. Verbal interaction was collected by video recording and transcription. Transcripts will be analyzed using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software (Pennebaker, Booth, & Frances, 2007). Relationships between coded creative behavior and linguistic patterns will be examined. Current progress and future directions will be discussed. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Jessica Murfin 

We have learned from experience that seeking and accepting help is a key component to success. Luckily, the Computer Science Division (CSD) at Western Oregon University has created their own tutoring center where tutors and students can connect. We have the unique perspective of having a CSD tutor on our team. As this team member filled a timesheet with her pen and was asked again through online chat whether she tutored that day, she recognized a need. This is how Beyond the Tutor was born. We asked questions of ourselves as students, tutors, and visited with professors to gauge individual needs. Through continuous research, we identified services that would benefit the entire department.
Beyond the Tutor is an information system that will provide online resources for students, a modernized system for tutors, and comprehensive insights for professors. For students, the system will display real-time tutoring availability, provide an efficient avenue for in-person and online tutoring sessions, and consolidate additional resources. For tutors, the system will alleviate the burden of personally relaying tutoring information to students by moving the process to an easy-to-use interface. Tutors will also benefit from digital time sheets to quickly and accurately log time worked. For professors, data collected through surveys they can create and send to students directly through the user interface will provide a better understanding of student needs both in real-time and over the long term through predictive analytics. Our goal is to provide a state-of-the-art resource for the Computer Science Division to assist in moving the program to a better future! 			 Computer Science 		 Becka Morgan 

For some, pets are their only house-mates!

Just like with human kids or senior loved ones, sometimes it’s difficult for those who work full-time to be able to do everything, every day, for their pets… but unlike with human loved ones, there really aren’t that many options for finding good, reliable, affordable caretaking assistance.

For finding help with taking care of your human loved ones, probably the most well-known web application is Care (https://www.care.com/) where you can find caretakers for pretty much every set of needs your human loved ones may have. However, most web apps currently available for pet services -- the most well-known being Fetch (https://www.fetchpetcare.com/) and Rover (https://www.rover.com/) -- focus primarily on just dog-walking and basic pet-sitting.

From personal experience, and from other pet owners I know, there can be lots of other things that need doing. Sometimes your pet needs medications while you’re at work. Or dropped off & picked up at the groomer’s, or taken to the vet for it’s shots, or some bloodwork. Maybe your senior pet needs to be let out and back in again more often while you’re at work. Maybe your pet with a health condition needs several small meals a day, or just watching over. 

There are lots of things beyond walking and basic sitting that pets and their owners need help with!
Therefore, we wanted to create a pet caretaking services web app that:
Was inclusive of all kinds of pets,
Covered any type of caretaking needs a pet and their owner may have,
Connected pet-loving individuals, to arrange to help each other out.

Petopia is meant to not only help Pet Owners find reliable fellow pet lovers to help them with the caretaking and well-being of their pet(s) -- therefore bringing them peace of mind ... but also to give pet lovers the opportunity to have a fun and meaningful way to make some extra money doing something they enjoy, on their own schedules.

We want to connect every type of Pet Owner to pet-loving Pet Care Providers, so that people and Pets can enjoy a better quality of life! 			 Computer Science 		 Becka Morgan 

Over six million people were subject to torture and killed during WWII; the theory of dehumanization provides a possible explanation for how people could commit such horrible acts toward another human being (Dawidowicz, 1981). Although extreme cases of dehumanization, like genocide, are not currently a frequent concern within the U.S., certain groups of people still experience dehumanization on a daily basis. By examining past research, it was determined that the act of dehumanization is a cognitive process that can be seen physically taking place within the brain. Harris and Fisk (2006) found that the cognitive reaction to dehumanized groups is demonstrated via exaggerated amygdala and insula reactions, which is consistent with past neurological research about the brain registering disgust. Various examples from research confirm the problem of dehumanization as a widespread issue. People from different ethnic groups, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people experiencing homelessness have all been found to be targets of dehumanization in the past and present. Due to the brain’s automatic response of registering disgust when presented with members of outgroups, there is little room left to empathize with members of those groups. Our ability to dehumanize has had many negative side effects within society, like discrimination and the development of an unwillingness to engage in helping behavior that could benefit members of outgroups (Haslam, & Stratemeyer, 2016). Given these costs, research regarding the prevention of dehumanization is necessary. Evidence exists to support the use of counter stereotypes and perspective taking as two effective methods to decrease dehumanization by promoting diversity and decreasing group bias (Prati, Vasiljevic, Crisp, & Rubini, 2015; Shih, Stotzer, & Gutiérrez, 2013). The prevention methods developed to decrease dehumanization could help to encourage individuals to support inclusive policies, help to dissuade discrimination, and promote diversity. Dehumanization is an individual cognitive process that in the past has contributed to mass murders such as the holocaust, and currently prevents people from empathizing with members of outgroups. Future research is essential to decrease the rates of dehumanization today. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Brooke Nott 

The main goal of the system is to provide a consolidation of brackets from Challonge (and potentially other sites in the future) to minimize navigating page to page to check each bracket by itself, along with tracking competitor status across all of an events brackets, so that a competitor won't get called for when they're already somewhere else. This consolidation is accomplished by sending requests through Challonge’s API, meaning that changes on our site are also represented on the organizer’s Challonge tournament listings, meaning that details can still be checked and managed from a familiar space even if they want to use our service at times. This also means that other programs that are compatible with Challonge, for example data aggregation from tournaments to rank players, are implicitly compatible with the OK Bracket Manager.
Further, the applications listing and search features allow tournament events to be found by visitors without logging in. This can help competitors locate events, and can also allow them to check up on the status of tournament details from our pages, such as the bracket progression, and standings. This helps competitors engage with the event and track math wins as they happen. 			 Computer Science 		 Becka Morgan 

Wolf Ride is a way for students of Western Oregon University to request the service of a ride to any destination inside of Monmouth and Independence. It was created as a way for students who wouldn’t feel comfortable at night to be able to request a ride service that Western Oregon University operates. The current service of requesting a ride requires making a phone call to a number associated with the Service, our project sought to create a new way to be able for students of all needs to be able to request this service besides the use of a phone. Wolf Ride Overdrive was born from this Idea that all students of all needs should be able to access the Wolf Ride service.
Wolf Ride Overdrive can allow all students a new way of requesting the Wolf Ride service. We have done this by creating an online service for requesting a ride from Wolf Ride. Wolf RIde Overdrive can have students create an account where they can input their contact information, email and phone number, as well as their home address. With their account created and information stored Students can use the Wolf Ride Overdrive site to request a ride. Wolf Ride Overdrive can offer students the option of visiting predetermined locations to visit such as Hamersly Library, Werner University Center, as well as the neighboring grocery stores in the town. This provides them quick access to anywhere they would like to get to or be picked up from. Wolf Ride Overdrive can also be used to store the students home address for fast selection by the students. Should the students like to go somewhere beside the predetermined locations then they simply need to select the custom options on Wolf Ride Overdrive and the system can take in these requests instead. Once the ride has been requested Wolf Ride Overdrive can quickly notify the student by email that their ride was successfully submitted and that Wolf Ride will be there shortly to take them to their destination. Wolf Ride Overdrive can also send an email to the driver on duty informing them of who is requesting the ride and where they will want to be picked up from and where they would like to go. Wolf Ride Overdrive can also store all the information about the use of the Wolf Ride so that later a deep dive can be done on the usage of the Wolf Ride system. Wolf Ride Overdrive was created to bring all the Wolf Ride services and system under one location to allow for automated delivery of ride requests as well as storage of the use of the system without requiring a physical tracking system so information can be sorted and gone through quicker for analytics of the Wolf Ride system. 			 Computer Science 		 Ted Beers 

Even though they may not take part in the most obvious feminist actions as they continue to maintain traditional western family structures, they can still hold feminist beliefs and take other kinds of feminist actions. In my senior thesis I will be studying feminism in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints using ethnographic research via first hand participant observation, both in person and online, in the Salem Young Single Adult Ward and within the community of young adult Church members active on Tumblr.com. I hope to see how these women who live or plan to live these more traditional western structures can still take feminist action in their daily lives. 			Anthropology		 Katherine MIller 

Recent work suggests that individuals with a self-reported history of concussions experience heterogeneous deficits in several domains, including motor control, attention, and working memory (e.g., Howell et al., 2018; Hudac et al., 2018). Here, we investigated the interplay of attentional and motor inhibition by combining a singleton paradigm with 3D reach tracking. Participants reached to an odd-shaped target (e.g., circle among diamonds); on half of trials, a salient, task-irrelevant, colored distractor (singleton) was present. Results indicate that individuals with a self-reported history of concussion showed impairments in attentional suppression of competing response options. Importantly, this effect was independent of the presence of salient (i.e., prominent) distractors in the display, counter to what is commonly observed in the singleton paradigm. No differences were observed between neurotypicals and individuals with a self-reported history of concussion during reach planning, suggesting their inhibitory motor control remains intact. These results support suggest that goal-directed reaching may be a sensitive and robust measure to delineate underlying cognitive and motor processes that result from concussion. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 J.

In addition to taking various core and elective classes, high school students also need essential skills such as public speaking, writing a professional email, talking on the phone, writing resumes and cover letters, creating a LinkedIn, dressing professionally, networking, filling in applications, to become young professionals in the workforce. In the Oregonian, Betsy Hammond reports that “nearly 40 percent of Oregon high school grads don't go to college”. Then creating 40 percent of the Oregon population that will need help in building their professional profile for themselves sooner than many other high school students. According to the literature, one thing teachers can do to enhance their students’ transitions into the workforce is to implement the aforementioned activities in their curriculum. Along with building the stronger intrinsic motivation to learn how to apply the course material in their future endeavors. This will counteract the “extrinsically motivated students [that] may exert only the minimal behavioral and cognitive effort they need to execute a task successfully” (Ormond, 2015, p. 425). The objective of the current study is to review research studies on the topic, and make suggestions for teachers regarding what they can do to improve the next generation’s workforce by providing different ways to instill intrinsic motivation to help in their transition of becoming young professionals. A comprehensive review of the transition from High School students to young professionals will be conducted. Other relevant topics such as high school graduation rates and young adults in the workforce will also be examined. 			Education		 Xiaopeng Gong 

This research investigates the effects of household chemicals on the degradation of bone. Vertebrae from a domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) will be immersed into five corrosive agents: drain-cleaner, lye, bleach, ovencleaner, and cola. Tap water will serve as the control. Color, size, and weight of bones will be documented over time. I expect drain-cleaner, lye, and oven-cleaner to thoroughly degrade the bone, cola to cause mild degradation, and bleach and tap water to produce the least degradation. 	 Dowell, Trish.

It has been documented that the oldest known example of a sundial dates from Egypt ca 1500 BC, as depicted below. Egyptians introduced the earliest fully developed base 10 numeration system at least as early as 2700 BCE (and probably much early). Written numbers used a stroke for units, a heel-bone symbol for tens, a coil of rope for hundreds and a lotus plant for thousands, as well as other hieroglyphic symbols for higher powers of ten up to a million.Unfortunately, it is thought the majority of information regarding Egyptian mathematics was lost when the great library of Alexandria burned in 48BC. 			Mathematics		 Laurie Burton 

Often our understanding does not go beyond what we can tangibly see and touch, with the Moon seemingly out of reach for many. Though the Moon holds a special place to those who enjoy the night sky, it does much more than just provide a picturesque view. The Moon affects the world around us in many ways during its lunar cycle, but how does it all work? The important details of this can be described using the concept of planetary motion that includes key aspects of the way the Moon and Earth interact. The concept of planetary motion can also explain how eclipses occur, the different types of orbit, and the fact that only one face of the Moon is ever visible from Earth. Eclipses, both solar and lunar, are shadows of planetary bodies such as the Moon and Earth. These shadows are created as they move past each other in space during their orbit. As complex as these ideas may seem, they are quite simple once broken down. Eclipses and other lunar phenomena will be explained in this poster using the concept of planetary motion. 			 Earth/Physical Science 		 Melinda Shimizu 

(1226 BCE to 1161 BCE) The Chinese culture believed that solar eclipses were caused by a mythical dragon devouring the sun. It was also believed that eclipses in general told the future of the emperor. Due to this, predicting solar eclipses was deemed of the highest importance; so much so, that two astrologers were once beheaded because they failed to predict a solar eclipse. Astrologers not wanting to be beheaded used many methods and tools in order to try and accurately predict solar eclipses. 			Mathematics		 Laurie Burton 

The sun is fully engulfed by the moon, leaving only a ring of what the sun used to be for only a moment. To the average Joe this might seem like an amazing spectacle that they can’t wait to tell their grandchildren. But, there is more to this event than just a huge space rock blocking light from a star. Throughout the history of the planet many scientists and mathematicians have worked to decipher the exact timings for this event in the past and even in the future. 			Mathematics		 Laurie Burton 

First an inventory was conducted of skeletal remains from a single individual, accounting for the skeletal condition as well as the presence or absence of bones. Then, using previously developed standards, the estimation of age was assessed through a system of scoring epiphyseal closure. Results will narrow the age range of the individual, which will expand our knowledge of the skeletal collection. It is also important that we respect the decedent by taking the time to know more about them. 	 Lewis, Jonathon. "Estimation of Biological Age by Epiphyseal Union."

Purposive sampling was used to recruit diverse alumni following different career paths (i.e., graduate school or straight to work), representing alumni who identified as first generation, nontraditional, Latina/Latino or as a student of color. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand alumni career paths and gather information about decision-making, barriers, supports, and advice for current psychology majors. Interviews were audio-taped and are currently being transcribed. Some alumni agreed to participate in an “Alumni Profile,” which highlighted specific alumni by name, shared details of individual’s specific story, and were made publicly available. The current presentation will share the experiences of the undergraduate researchers exploring qualitative research, learning about career options available after graduation, and benefits for current students. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Chehalis Strapp 

The Employer to Students application is a web application that will provide Oregon companies with a new way to assess local students for potential job opportunities. Along with using traditional tools such as job applications and resumes, Employer to Students will also allow companies to gather information such as contact information through the information provided in student's personal profiles. This gives companies a good perspective on potential student employees, and allows companies to assess which students they believe would be most beneficial to their company. Students will also be able to upload a resume to the site that will address their personal accomplishments, such as research experience, publications, or projects the student has participated in. A recruiter can send a student an email on an email forum, and a student can reply to that email. Unlike current job finders, Employers to Students will give companies the ability to post projects that students can work on. This will allow students a glimpse into the type of work a company takes part in, and will enable the students to test if their personal skills and interests fit a specific company's needs. This will also allow the companies to see which students have the skill sets they are looking for. 			 Computer Science 		 Scot Morse 

This project draws on my experience at the 2015 Cooper’s Ferry field school conducted by Oregon State University. OSU is on the cutting edge of these new digital technologies, as they aim to discover new information about Western Stemmed Tradition peoples that thrived in the Great Basin around 13,000 years ago. The responsibility of our discipline is to tell the whole story of these early Americans. I argue that this can only be done with the use of digital and three dimensional technologies, as this will expose new information and further preserve the integrity of the sites and collections we study. 			Anthropology		 Robin Smith 

The reservoirs behind dams are a substantial and growing source of global methane (CH4) emissions, leading a number of researchers to question the net benefits of hydroelectric dams in the fight against climate change. Globally, this accounts for around 20 percent of human-caused methane emissions. This process is amplified in areas with large amounts of biomass, such as tropical and other lower-latitude areas where dams are being built at a quick rate (Keitel, Zak, & Hupfer, 2016). As we look for sources of clean and renewable energy to adapt to a changing climate, understanding the pros and cons of hydroelectric dams is crucial. 			 Earth/Physical Science 		 Mark Van Steeter 

Understanding the mechanisms at work behind a plant’s response to drought stress is crucial before we can integrate effective strategies for combating reduced availability of water. Drought affects plants differently depending on their inherited adaptations and their ability to acclimate. Investigating how different plants respond may give a better foundation for development of hardy breeds, appropriate irrigation techniques, and climatic placement. OBJECTIVE: This study examines the varying physiological changes that may occur when squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) plants experience drought as opposed to a control group of squash plants. Factors measured include specific leaf area, minimum transpiration, minimum conductance, water potential, soil to apical meristem height over time, true leaf count over time, and dry biomass. 					 Ava Howard 

Information is tracked in real-time as the car travels, using GPS tracking technology and an accelerometer. Each occurrence of a hazard will be pinged on a map and saved. This data will be displayed to the user in the form of an easy-to-read map. The app will be sure to not confuse dips and bumps with erratic driving. Unlike similar applications where potholes are reported manually, our product provides far more functionality and is practical for everyone. It encourages people to contribute, creating a safer, more efficient drive for all. Motorists will be able to locate potholes ahead of time. Governments will be able to see infrastructure issues and resolve them accordingly. 			 Computer Science 		 Mitchel Fry 

Stephani Symanowicz
Tomatoes, Solanum lycopersicum, are glycophytic and lack adaptations to easily combat salinity stress. Under salinity stress internally the metabolism is impacted by biomolecule destabilization and protein conformational changes. Externally it causes physiological drought due to water being energetically unavailable, which leads to structural changes and decreased transpiration. Due to climate change increasing severe weather patterns and the possibility of deicing salts
being used by counties as road management solutions, we wanted to investigate how deicing
salts impact a crop plant. We studied growth, metabolic processes, and anatomy of six tomato plants under salinity stress using deicing salts and six tomato plants under normal conditions over six weeks. Salinity negatively impacted all growth measures (biomass, stem height and diameter) and leaf gas exchange rates (conductance, transpiration). Single leaf photosynthesis rate was not impacted, and salinity plants had greater specific leaf area (SLA) and a much darker green coloration. The higher SLA and coloration may be an adaptive stress response that minimizes whole plant loss of sugar production. These results could impact how farmers of the Willamette Valley advocate to county officials about road management solutions to snow and ice. 			Biology		 Ava Howard 

Decomposition is the process by which dead organic substances are broken down into simpler organic or inorganic matter. Decomposition of human remains is a natural process that involves the breakdown of our tissues and cells after death. Decomposition is a complicated process that can be broken down into 5 stages which are autolysis (fresh), bloat, active decay, advanced decay, and skeletonization (dry remains). Because decomposition is such a complicated process, there are a lot of factors that can alter the rate at which the process proceeds. Some factors that can alter the rate at which human remains decompose are the climate in which they were left, individual characteristics, and shelter/coverings. In this talk, I explain the process of decomposition and how different environmental factors affect that process. 			Chemistry		 Feier Hou 

The project offered contact tracing services until January of 2022 when a shift in pandemic management occurred. During this time, students in our project shifted to the COVID Hotline, an open resource for all members of Polk County to ask questions regarding guidelines, testing, vaccines, and other community resources. Throughout the contact tracing process, we monitored 6,757 total individuals, and since the hotline's creation, we have received 112 phone calls from residents in need of COVID-19 resources. Currently, four students are working on the hotline. This presentation will review the project's transition from contract tracing to the hotline, comparing and contrasting what these services provided to residents and our hope for the future regarding the pandemic and our collaboration with community partners. 			 Health/Exercise Science 		 Emily Vala-Haynes 

The objective of this study was to determine if implementing lessons on nutrition during class would increase health literacy in third graders at Gervais Elementary School.
 Methods: Three third grade classes (n = 44), were assessed for health literacy using the Adapted Newest Vital Sign. Prior to assessment, two classes were randomly chosen to be the intervention groups, and the remaining class was chosen to be the control group. After the screening assessment, two 30-minute lessons regarding how to read nutrition labels and follow MyPlate guidelines to create a balanced meal were implemented into the intervention classrooms. Afterwards, all students (n = 38) were re-screened with the Adapted Newest Vital Sign to gather post-intervention data and the data was analyzed.
 Results: After conducting both assessments, data were collected and analyzed in the form of a comprehensive bar chart. In the post-assessment, classes 1 and 2 were eliminated from the lowest scoring category and the highest category increased from 7 to 16.
Implications: These results showed that health literacy can be improved significantly in third graders after just two 30-minute lessons on nutrition. Health lessons should be implemented in all K-12 grade levels to improve health literacy in students. Increased health literacy in children can lead to better health outcomes in adults.

Understanding what influences or enhances support for animal welfare will be crucial to expanding support for animals and taking steps to eliminate animal cruelty. This study looked specifically at the effects that different types of animal visuals had on young adult support for animal rights, in both male and female participants. Participants were asked to look at visuals of baby animals, visuals of adult animals, or no visuals before taking the 28-question Animal Rights Scale. Although this study did not find that visuals affected participants’ levels of animal rights support, it found that males and females varied significantly in their levels of support for animal rights. No interaction was found between visual type and gender. These results suggest that visuals of animals do not affect the support held by either male or female young adults for animal rights. Overall, the results of this study support prior research on gender differences in perceptions of animal rights, but more research is needed to determine if visuals can influence the way people feel about animals. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Jay Schwartz 

In this presentation we discuss preliminary findings about the impacts on sources of community for older adult participants in the COVID-19 Coping Study, a national longitudinal study that aims to understand how the pandemic is affecting the mental health and well-being of older adults in America. We have been using a collaborative process to code and qualitatively analyze responses from a randomized subset of 500 participants. We will share overarching themes of sources of community that are important to older adults; how the pandemic has affected their engagement with and interactions in these communities; and feelings expressed by participants regarding what they value, miss, and find challenging about their communities during the pandemic. This study has implications for understanding the most important sources of community for older adults and how to better help support those who are struggling with loss of these sources during a crisis or emergency such as this pandemic. 			Gerentology		 Melissa Cannon 

We studied the abundance, diversity, and composition of insect families within three contrasting habitats in a 100-ha endangered oak ecosystem in central Oregon in order to gain baseline knowledge of these communities and how they might change with habitat restoration. Sampled habitats included an open-grassy savannah, semi-open woodland, and a conifer-deciduous mixed forest. Approximately 500 insects were collected and identified in Fall 2019. There was no significant difference in the mean number or diversity of insects collected in the different habitats. However, there was a difference in the composition of insect communities, with mixed conifer-oak forests having significantly different types of insects than the relatively interchangeable savannah and woodland. This important baseline information will allow us to assess the success of our restoration efforts in this endangered ecosystem. 			Biology		 Gareth Hopkins 

These focal species were the center of a trail-camera-based investigation on basking behavior at four locations within Minto Brown Park in Salem, centered around research on basking structure usage, distribution, and identification of temperature and weather patterns which could predict turtle presence. Understanding basking behavior and presence of all turtle species is pertinent to the persistence of the native species, which are in decline. Through analyzing over 15,000 camera images, we found species-specific preferences for basking structure type, location, temperature and weather, which will all provide critical information for future management of both native threatened, and invasive turtles in our region. 			Biology		 Gareth Hopkins 

Our objective was to advance monitoring infrastructure for the protection of native, threatened freshwater turtles in the Pacific Northwest through the creation of a citizen science application. This was done by researching previous designs of citizen science projects over the past ten years and improving the platform based on recommendations by practitioners. Current platforms can be improved by better crediting the work of citizen scientists, improving communication between scientists and users, building in flexibility for scientists, and accommodating for disabilities through ergonomic design. This set the framework to design and build a new multi-platform monitoring application. The final product is a mobile and web application that embodies these concepts and is ready for user-testing in the summer, providing scientists with critical data to help monitor multiple species of conservation concern, while engaging the public in this important task. 			Biology		 Gareth R.

Studying trichome density and distribution can provide insight to a plant’s response to drought stress and herbivore damage. We studied the trichome density of up to 20 leaves from each of 47 mature Quercus garryana (Oregon’s native oak tree). Trees were located in one of three habitat types: oak savannah, oak woodland, and mixed oak-maple-conifer forest. Preliminary results show bundles of four and two trichome clusters were present in higher amounts than bundles of three and single trichomes on the abaxial (lower) leaf surface in the savannah and forest habitat. A lower trichome density was observed on the adaxial (top) versus abaxial (lower) leaf surfaces. Our early results support the conclusion that trichome anatomy is highly variable between Q. garryana trees and may help to explain tree survival in different habitats. 			Biology		 Ava Howard 

AES Abstract
Track and field in the 1930s provided a unique opportunity for athletes of all races, gender, and ethnicities to come together and compete on an equal playing field. This helped bridge the tension and divide that existed within segregated America but also showed the power that athletics has in highlighting common human characteristics. The evidence that will primarily illustrate this comes from a number of primary sources including six oral histories conducted by the United States Holocaust Museum as well as The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics Archives. These interviews give a glimpse into what the 1936 Olympic experience was like for many of the athletes that did not receive the same level of recognition as their teammate Jesse Owens. The Pan American Games which took place in Dallas in 1937 highlighted some of the harsh realities of racism in the American South despite the meet promoters intentions of holding a “harmonious” track meet not centered around race.[1] Overall these sources will contribute to the field by highlighting track and field’s involvement in healing social divides far ahead of its time.

The conditions were harsh, highly contentious, and met with near universal opposition by German political parties.[1]

The most controversial terms were German disarmament, loss of German colonial holdings and territory gained during the war, reparations payments to the Allies, and accepting full responsibility for starting the war.[2] 

The shock of losing the war and the strict terms of Versailles delegitimized the new democratic government of Germany. The radical right spread conspiracy theories that Germany’s defeat and the terms of Versailles were the product of internal sabotage and betrayal by the new government. The Nazi Party exploited these theories and the hatred for Versailles in their propaganda to identify and create enemies of Germany, such as the Socialists, the Communists, and the Jews.

However, just 50 years earlier Castile was known as one of the most religiously tolerant Christian kingdoms of Europe. Scholars have debated the reasons for the rapid shift in royal religious policy. But rather than asking why, here it is questioned how Castilian royalty used this Anti-Muslim shift to consolidate their power. This study focuses on primary source documents such as the “Capitulations of Granada” to answer this question. Created in December 1491, the Capitulations were a collection of decrees that guaranteed the protection of Muslims and their traditions following the surrender of the Muslim kingdom of Granada to the Christian kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. Detailed analysis of this document illustrates that a sudden negative shift towards Muslims did occur but asserts that this shift was deliberately shaped by the Castilian monarchy for political gain. 			History		 Elizabeth Swedo 

This poster examines an example of Nazi propaganda after the Putsch, analyzing the political essay “Why Do We Want to Join the Reichstag,” by Joseph Goebbels, published in April 1928 for the May parliamentary campaign. In this essay, Goebbels’s anticipated how the Nazis ran for the Reichstag and how the Nazis were a political party that was against the government. Goebbels’s essay highlighted the rhetorical shift the Nazis had embraced since the Putsch: from revolutionaries to political activist party. This poster demonstrates how Nazi propaganda and goals shifted after the failure of the Beer Hall Putsch, showing the Nazis more versatile propaganda tactics after 1923. 			History		 Patricia Goldsworthy 

The doctrine of papal primacy declares the pope as the supreme head of the Church, while the infallibility doctrine declares that when the pope speaks “ex cathedra,” he possesses divine infallibility to define doctrines concerning faith and morals.[1]

The doctrines of primacy and infallibility made Catholics look like a threat to the German nation. Because Catholics were perceived as a threat, the German government initiated a Kulturkampf—literally “culture war”—to preserve German unity from the supposed disuniting threat of Catholicism.

To achieve the goal of protecting women, the Consumers’ League of Oregon adopted ideas of difference theory, which stated that men and women were fundamentally different and that women needed protection that men did not need. Protective labor legislation aimed to aid women workers in securing shorter hours, higher wages, and better working environments. While sex-based legislation served as the opening wedge for this protective reform, it also convinced both the state and federal courts that women would never be equal to men. 			History		 Kim Jensen 

The Iranian Prime minister Mohammad Mossadeq wanted to nationalize Iranian oil, he was suspected by the US to attempt oil deals with the USSR and abandon the previous oil concessions with the West. Dr. Donald N Wilber, one of the head CIA writers for the US–UK joint coup against Iran wrote “Overthrow of Premier Mossadeq of Iran: November 1952 - August 1953”. The paper is written post events of the coup in 1954, it is a record of the involvement and the planning done by the United States in order to reinstall the pro-west Reza Shah monarch to guarantee the west oil concessions. The document written by Dr. Wilber shows that the United States manipulated Iran to secure oil in order to gain advantages during the Cold War. 			History		 Patricia Goldsworthy-Bishop 

The PIP addressed a recent increase in hospital readmissions for joint surgery patients related to medication mismanagement post-discharge. The objective was to propose a solution to reduce readmissions through increasing inpatient autonomy. Existing literature and current practice guidelines were reviewed. A standard survey was created and distributed to gather healthcare professionals’ opinions on areas of improvement. Additionally, the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) model was selected to provide a framework for the project. Evidence indicated the self-administration of medication (SAM) could address the aim of increased autonomy, including increasing the patient’s knowledge of medications. Previous SAM research studies have shown an increase in medication adherence. Increased medication adherence has a positive impact on hospital readmission rates. A SAM program proposal was designed as a test of change to be implemented in the virtual acute care orthopedic setting. If proven effective, the SAM program would be implemented hospital-wide. To implement this intervention, the authors recommend a three-leveled system of SAM, supported by an interdisciplinary team during the course of the patient’s hospital stay. Limitations included are the current COVID-19 pandemic, obtaining staff buy-in, and liability concerns. 			Nursing		 Andy Middleton (middleta@ohsu.edu) 

This collaboration includes a monthly newsletter to promote community resources, services, and events. Aim: The aim was to create a standardized submission tool for newsletter contributors to use to improve communication and promote resource utilization by community members. Methodology: This process improvement was structured using the Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) model. The PDSA model allowed for reassessment of project needs, and multiple cycles were done to develop a comprehensive evaluation and recommendation for the SI newsletter process. One assessment completed was a survey of SI partners.Results: The focus of survey data was surrounding the partner's participation in submitting information to the SI newsletter. It revealed an overarching theme that partners do not feel they have relevant information to contribute. This thought represented the majority of respondents with a percentage of 68.3%. Discussion: Based on the results, we recommend implementation of the standardized submission tool. Through evaluation of results, it was found that users had difficulty with the submission process as a whole. With addition of the submission tool, these problems will be mitigated via guided questioning that will spark contribution ideas from the partners. To evaluate the continued effectiveness of the submission tool, participation of partners will be monitored. Implications: Implementation of the submission tool will begin January 2021. The implications of this are to ease the submission process for the SI coordinator and improve utilization of resources. 			Nursing		 Rachel Woolley 

The SOAR (strengths, opportunities, aspirations, results) model was used to facilitate change. Research on available food assistance agencies and Community Health Assessments (CHA) proved a greater need for available food resources throughout Polk County. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a need was identified for increased awareness and access of food resources. A survey of Polk County residents indicated a gap of knowledge regarding food bank and food pantry locations and a recurring trend of inaccessibility (Polk County Family and Community Outreach, 2020). Additionally, a majority of the surveyed residents responded that they would “absolutely use” a food box delivery service and indicated evening hour preference for accessing food banks and food pantries (Polk County Family and Community Outreach, 2020). Barriers to combating food insecurity included: pandemic restrictions, limited communication between food banks, and volunteer-run agencies that limited hours of operation. From this research it was concluded that Polk County residents would benefit from an increase in food resource availability with additional volunteers, extended hours of operations, communication between food assistance agencies, use of food delivery services, and more accessible marketing of the available resources.

One fundamental document, finalized in c. 886CE, that signified a shift in Anglo-Saxon society was the treaty between King Alfred of Wessex and the Norse ruler, Guthrum. This political agreement accommodated Guthrum and later Norse people in Britain because it established defined areas of Norse control. This treaty was a precursor to what came in the late tenth century: Danish rule over England as a whole. As the Norse continued their activities in the British Isles during the ninth through eleventh centuries, this foreign culture confronted the Anglo-Saxons’ sense of their own identity, especially as the Norse and Anglo-Saxon relationship developed from raiding to settlement and integration. 			History		 Elizabeth Swedo 

We developed a mentorship program to provide representation and empowerment to the B/AA students who attend Memorial Middle School. We used the logic model to guide program implementation, performed a literature review, conducted a survey of students' perceptions and experiences, and met with key community stakeholders. The program is based within MMS and is partnered with the local Albany-Corvallis National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The program currently consists of five core team leaders, two mentors, and seven mentees. Characteristics of the program include being youth-centered, culturally tailored, having parental involvement and support, and ensuring mentors are trained and equipped for crucial conversations. The mentorship model incorporates a targeted and historical non-friendship model approach. Meetings will occur twice a month and during the academic school year, the option for a summer bridge program has been discussed. Implications for this program include being expanded to other schools within the Albany School District.

The present study sought to explore the correlation between a woman’s choice to self-label as a feminist and her attitudes toward women. Participants reported how strongly they agreed with the statement "I am a feminist" and then completed the Attitudes Toward Women scale (Spence, 1972). It was hypothesized that self-labeling feminists would score significantly higher on the ATW scale. However, all participants reported pro-feminist scores, but only 30 percent also self-labeled. This suggests that women may still be apprehensive to associate with the word “feminist”; even if their attitudes reflect feminist ideals. 	 Harrold, Mycah.

Aubrac was a communist-aligned individual in the French Resistance who fought against the German occupation. Outwitting the Gestapo written as her diary that is the account of her resistant activities from February 1943 til about February 1944.

Barbie was the head of the Gestapo in Lyons and is known infamously as the “Butcher of Lyons”.

Guibert broke up his treatise into three main books, each book connected to the overall theme of Guibert’s response to the church of Saint-Médard and their relic, a baby-tooth of Christ. Book I responded to Saint-Médard and discussed relic cults, Book II discussed the problems relating to the existence of relics and their connections to the Eucharist, and Book III attempted to debunk the claims of Saint-Médard. Overall, Guibert argued that a saint needed detailed written documentation for their relic to be a true holy relic. Guibert is one of two monks, another being the Cluniac Rodolphus Glaber (c.980-c.1046), whose writings help give a comparison between the two monks' view points that showed the similarities and differences of their reactions towards fake relics. 			History		 Elizabeth Swedo 

The importance of the subject of peace within the Baha’i community not just as a concept, but as a way of existing and interacting in the world led me to my main research question: what does world peace look like to Baha’i and how do they plan to achieve it?
Secondarily, what is the Baha’is relationship with other world religions, especially Abrahamic religions and how do they promote peace within the local community, more specifically with poor or disenfranchised people? The importance of the research lies in a better cross-cultural understanding of what peace is and how it operates. 			Anthropology		 Katherine Miller 

This study focuses on ways that local communities educate the populace about hazards that may impact their lives. By concentrating on two case studies representing different locales, one of the goals of this project is to compare educational strategies and gauge public perception of geologic hazards facing the community. One case study focuses on the towns that surround Merapi Volcano in Indonesia, while the other focuses on tsunami and earthquake preparedness in Seaside, Oregon.
According to studies conducted around Merapi Volcano, many school children in the region have directly experienced hazards such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. However, when asked questions about what to do in certain situations involving hazards, many students showed confusion and uncertainty. The information that they were taught on geologic hazards was surficial, because the teachers had only been provided with minimal training on the subject. Feedback from both the students and teachers about the teaching and training they are receiving shows that the curriculum is somewhat effective, but there is still room for improvement. Teacher training programs should be guided by the most up-to-date scientific knowledge through coursework at universities and workshops led by professional organizations. While content about geologic hazards can be embedded throughout the curriculum and be taught as a recurring theme through a student’s grade school journey, there should also be focused content delivery taught specifically by science teachers in the school.
The second case study focused on strategies for educating a variety of different demographics in Oregon coastal communities about earthquake and tsunami preparation. This study showed that there are many different approaches towards promoting hazard awareness, and factors such as age, language, educational level, and disabilities should be taken into consideration. The emphasis in many coastal communities in Oregon is on educating residents through community meetings. However, there is a lack of focus on educating tourists in the coastal areas in the Pacific Northwest. If a geological hazard occurs, tourists need to know where to go and simple signs directing towards safe zones would increase the hazard preparedness. Along with signs, coastal communities can deploy warning systems that notify people about an impending hazard and provide evacuation information. More widespread use of these types of education strategies and warning systems would be beneficial towards the safety of everyone in coastal areas.
While many communities are being educated about the dangers that they could face from natural disaster events, the methods by which they are being informed can only prepare them to a certain extent. Geologic hazards are natural events that will always present risks for human communities, so it is best that we normalize conversations about these hazards so that when they do occur, fear does not overcome the training and preparation that can save lives. 			 Earth/Physical Science 		 Jeffrey Templeton 

This threat is radically increased due to the lack of structural integrity of buildings in the region, especially in densely populated areas, and inadequate planning as to where buildings were constructed. It is critical that states such as Oregon and Washington retrofit or reconstruct existing buildings to reduce the risks associated with a potential major mega-thrust earthquake generated by the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Portland, Oregon’s largest city, is currently one of the most vulnerable cities in the US to a major earthquake. If a large earthquake struck the Pacific Northwest, Portland would be greatly affected because most of the buildings within the city were constructed before the state-wide building codes were enacted in 1973, and well before the first state wide seismic building codes (enacted in 1993). In an ideal scenario, reconstructing every building to be earthquake safe and up to code would be the plan. However, reconstructing the buildings of an entire city would be expensive, complicated, and extremely time consuming. For those reasons, this study focused on different retrofitting techniques and their costs, and the necessity for certain buildings to be reconstructed. Retrofitting costs were compared to the cost of demolition and reconstruction of old buildings, in order to determine the most economically viable course of action for preventing loss of life and minimizing structural losses in Oregon. Buildings are not the only type of infrastructure at risk, as bridges are also susceptible to being damaged during earthquake events. On the Oregon coast, many towns are connected both inland and to each other by bridges. Waldport is such an example, having all 3 of its major roads on bridges less than a mile out of town. According to Oregon State University, most of the coastal bridges in the state have a very high chance of collapsing and/or sustaining major damage, or being inundated with water due to a subsequent tsunami. The risk of infrastructure collapse (and potential loss of life due to collapse) and cost of retrofitting is the first portion of data being assessed. The second section of data being analyzed is the amount of people that would be incapable of moving to safety due to collapse or damage, and the access (or lack thereof) of emergency response services to isolated areas following a seismic hazard event. 			 Earth/Physical Science 		 Jeff Templeton 

One example that demonstrates this is the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami event. Many reinforced concrete (RC) buildings failed during the event and were lifted off their foundations. This occurred because entrapped air within these buildings allowed them to be more susceptible to buoyancy forces. In addition, soil liquefaction appears to have destabilized their foundations allowing them to be transported by the waves. Seawalls also failed, possibly due to suction pressure near the crown of the wall. The return flow of the tsunami caused further damage because roads and foundations had been undermined by soil liquefaction. Beyond the damage to buildings, nearly 16,000 people lost their lives. The staggering loss of life and massive amount of damage occurred in a country that was thought to have “invulnerable” buildings and other structures built specifically for tsunamis. The 2011 Japan event illustrates the scale of destruction that can occur from an earthquake and tsunami of this magnitude. Even so, there are ways to minimize damage and prevent loss of life. For example, in Japan, breakaway walls, windows, and doors allowed water to flow into buildings, keeping them from being lifted from their foundation. Shadow zones behind RC buildings, protected weaker structures from being destroyed. New strategies are currently being developed to help minimize death and destruction from tsunamis. Studies of tree distribution are being used to lessen the forces associated with tsunami waves. Stricter building codes, improved infrastructure design and planning, and other mitigation efforts can save lives and promote resiliency for communities that may face an earthquake and tsunami of the size and scope of the Japan 2011 event. 			 Earth/Physical Science 		 Jeff Templeton 

It is becoming increasingly clear that hazard mitigation policies at both the state and local levels play a critical role in minimizing losses from natural disaster events. At the same time, the quality and execution of these policies by local governments vary widely within and between states. A primary factor limiting the effectiveness of many local policies is the absence of a solid factual foundation that incorporates geoscientific considerations in order to achieve policy goals. This study explores the role of local regulatory and developmental policies in protecting communities in the western U.S against geological hazards, with an emphasis on scientific foundations within local policies, and examines recommendations for improving hazard strategies. State and federal agency papers, local government reports, and a variety of professional journal articles serve as the basis for this analysis. The research suggests that state mitigation measures emphasizing pre-disaster policies have the potential to be most effective for minimizing losses and improving community resilience to recover from catastrophic geologic events. States with hazard mandates that lack clear enforcement powers for regional agencies, such as California, have a wider variation in local policy quality when compared to states that do, such as Oregon, whose detailed state mandate ensures that all jurisdictions must comply with stipulated hazard safety elements. States should aim to ensure that local jurisdictions are implementing both structural and non-structural mitigation measures. The effectiveness of mitigation strategies on the Pacific coast of the western U.S depends on the level of local and state collaboration. In particular, the effectiveness of local hazard planning reflects the quality and enforcement of state mitigation policies. Proactive policies instituted by local governments are an important tool for natural hazard mitigation and disaster prevention when done right. The variety of geological hazards on the west coast makes the mitigation policies of the region a useful framework for other areas of the U.S., with applications for developing physical and non-structural mitigation measures. 			 Earth/Physical Science 		 Jeff Templeton 

This paper describes the hazards associated with these eruptive centers and discusses the best practices for preparing communities for potential eruptions and mitigating volcanic hazards. This study is based on data collected by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) on volcanic systems such as Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier. Many other scientific organizations have studied analogous volcanic systems beyond the Pacific Northwest, such as the volcanically active island of Indonesia; where numerous populated areas lie in close proximity to active volcanic systems.
A common misconception is that many of the volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest are dormant or extinct, but research shows that these systems are active. Further, these active volcanoes have significant populations living well within their mapped hazard zones. The lack of preparedness and understanding of the true state of volcanic activity in the region could be related to a lack of education, or to inaction on the part of local government agencies in preparing for volcanic hazards. With this being said, it is imperative for local governments to prepare for volcanic activity in the inevitable future. It would be in the best interest of these governments to work with schools to educate not just students, but communities as a whole on how to prepare for a major volcanic eruption. This would be most important for the Pacific Northwest, as this is one of the more volcanically active regions on Earth. 			 Earth/Physical Science 		 Jeff Templeton 

This research project analyzes results from three recently published case studies each corresponding to a point along the crisis response timeline. Planning for various geologic crises is critical, as demonstrated by Tran and others (2009), who utilized GIS to analyze risk factors and map flood hazards in Vietnam. GIS is also an invaluable tool for search and research activities during a natural disaster. These situations require quick response to ensure fast resolution, and GIS can be rapidly deployed through a four step progression in a search and rescue operation (Pfau and Blanford, 2018). In the aftermath of geologic crises, GIS can be deployed to help distribute and coordinate disaster relief efforts. Using Leon County, Florida as a study area, Horner and Downs (2010) used GIS to create a distribution network for relief efforts in the event of a hurricane. While GIS is best known for its widespread use in disaster management planning, it is also an important tool for rapidly responding to emergencies and for organizing post-disaster relief efforts. These studies demonstrate that GIS technologies are highly versatile before, during, and after geologic crisis events. As such, GIS should be viewed as an important strategy in geologic crisis hazard management. 			 Earth/Physical Science 		 Jeff Templeton 

Studies of acid rain on Helianthus annuus, the common sunflower, have found negative effects on plant growth, but those were a result of sulfuric acid rain. Sunflower sprouts were grown in a greenhouse beside a control group and watered with dilute nitric acid with pH3-4 and measurements were compared to the control group over the course of nine weeks. The significant differences were in stem height, midday leaf photosynthesis, midday leaf transpiration, and total shoot biomass. Had the study continues further there is evidence that a few more measurements would have become significant. Acid rain from the release of nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere could have adverse effects on sunflowers and industries that rely on them in the future. 			Biology		 Ava Howard 

Latinx population college attendance has substantially increased over the past decades (Krogstad, 2015). Typically, Latinx college students consider higher education achievement to honor parental efforts and to end generational poverty (Ceja, 2004; Jabbar, Serrata, Epstein, & Sánchez, 2019). However, there are risks for these students to drop out of college (Camacho Liu, 2011) and they often face significant responsibilities in their households.
The relationships between emerging adults (ages 18-25) and their parents experience change and create the potential for conflict when adult children transitions into college and into adulthood. In this qualitative study and the focus of the AES presentation, we focus on the experiences of Latina college students who identified areas of conflict with their parents concerning: 1) family expectations conflicts with parents regarding time, labor, and family-focused responsibilities when pursing college degrees; 2) academic and career choice conflicts; and 3) dating, courtship, and marriage conflicts concerning expectations and practices. For this presentation, we focus on a subgroup of Latina perspectives concerning family expectations and related conflict and outcomes for relationship quality between parents and their daughters. Data analysis has begun and this presentation will outline preliminary findings and the ways that family expectations create conflict, are shaped by gender and cultural contexts, influence emotional and behavioral outcomes, and influence the parent – emerging adult relationship during this developmental period. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Margaret Manoogian 

Darian Demarce*, Yasmine Robles* & J. Daniel McCarthy
*Authors contributed equally
Despite social progress, racial prejudice continues to be a pervasive issue. Self-reported (explicit) prejudice often underestimates the degree of negative racial biases due to the confound of social desirability. The Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee & Schwartz) is a popular measure in social-cognitive research to infer implicit biases that may otherwise be masked by self-reports. A criticism of the IAT, however, is that it fails to capture the contribution of multiple interacting cognitive subprocesses, including cognitive conflict and motor response inhibition. This study aims to examine implicit racial biases using a modified IAT: Participants will view photographs of African American and Caucasian faces and categorize them by race. Importantly, response boxes will be labeled congruent (e.g., Caucasian or Good) or incongruent (e.g., Caucasian or Bad) stereotypes. The time to initiate movements (latency) and deviation toward competing response options (reach curvature) will be calculated to delineate the contribution of response threshold adjustment processes and conflict monitoring, respectively. We expect that early stages of the racial categorization process will be impaired by stereotype-incongruent response categories for both ingroup and outgroup members, whereas this conflict will persist for outgroup members only during the later stage of reach execution (ongoing social conflict monitoring). These predictions are consistent with a neuroanatomical model implicating distinct contributions of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) – a region implicated in a diverse set of cognitive control processes (Shenhav, Botvinick & Cohen, 2013) – in the controlled guidance of reaching movements. These data will add to a growing body of literature using continuous reach tracking to investigate how these neural subprocesses contribute to cognitive control of behavior in across a wide variety of cognitive tasks. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Dan McCarthy 

After all, WWI was the “war to end all wars,” immediately after the war, the allied forces created unprecedented international agreements, like the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations. With WWII, a much more devastating [conflict] emerging almost 20 years later, clearly these agreements did not "end all wars." Research has shown that the type of peace they were attempting to create was insufficient and positive peace should be considered as a viable means to create lasting peace. The difference between positive peace and normal peace is dramatic, both include the absence of violence, but positive peace goes much further. Positive peace incorporates nonviolence, compromises on both sides, and addresses the root causes of conflict. It is the best way to achieve sustainable world peace. 			 Political Science 		 Mary Pettenger 

Consequently, this study sought to identify predictors of leader effectiveness in college students. Data were collected from 154 students from a mid-sized college in the Pacific Northwest who were enrolled in one of nine different sections of a Psychology of Leadership course offered between the spring term of 2017 and the winter term of 2020. Students completed self-assessment questionnaires assessing both leader characteristics such as traits, strengths, values, philosophy as well as leader behaviors such as leadership style and conflict management. Some self-assessments were made both at the beginning and the end of the course to allow students to reflect on changes in their leadership in their final paper. Students evaluated their teammates effectiveness as a leader based on their performance on a community service project. The results showed that, with the exception of leadership philosophy, no self-reported leader characteristics were associated with leader effectiveness. In contrast, the trait of confidence as rated by others was positively correlated with leader effectiveness. Furthermore, variability in others ratings of confidence, persistence, dependability, and conscientiousness were all negatively correlated with leader effectiveness. Finally, leader behaviors related to developing an appropriate team climate, accomplishing the team’s task, and developing and maintaining good relations among team members were all positively correlated with leader effectiveness. Based on the findings, college students should focus their energies on becoming more proficient at key leadership behaviors as well as reducing stress to minimize variability in their behavior. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 David Foster 

One possible way for a plant to maximize its growth rate is to have a high specific leaf area (SLA) but few studies have looked at SLA differences in ecological and taxonomically related invasive and native species. In a common garden setting, I studied SLA differences between phylogenetically related invasive Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and native Pacific blackberry (Rubus ursinus). In both species area and weight of leaf blades were closely related and SLA was not different between the invasive and native blackberry. Also the results indicate that inclusion of the petiole, rachis and petiolule does not make the SLA data variable when compared to only the compound leaf blades. These results lead me to believe that there are other factors that may contribute to the success of invasive blackberries. 	 Sims, Valerie.

The mission of EDUWheels is to connect students with safe and accessible transportation and help them share costs and lessen the environmental impact of traveling outside of their local campus area. Many students have a car and travel outside of the Monmouth-Independence area regularly, and some students would like to leave town for the weekend or a day trip, but don’t have access to reliable private or public transportation options. EDUWheels makes it possible for students to adventure out of town or visit family for the weekend, and allows others to lessen the cost of a trip they were already planning to take.
EDUWheels allows drivers to offer rides, and passengers to reserve them. Drivers and passengers may offer or reserve rides based on their needs and preferences so that they can ride comfortably. To increase safety and security of passengers and drivers, all users will be verified with their @wou.edu email. This ensures that anyone using the EDUWheels platform is a student or staff of Western Oregon University. In the future, EDUWheels could be scaled and implemented at campuses throughout the United States. 			 Computer Science 		 Ted Beers 

The features of plagioclase phenocrysts can also be used to correlate separate but potentially related deposits in volcanic terranes. This study focuses on plagioclase phenocrysts from two dacitic ash-flow tuffs (Qdt and Qto) exposed on the east side of Newberry Volcano. To explore possible petrogenetic relationships between the tuffs, the phenocrysts were characterized in terms of occurrence, morphology, disequilibrium textures, and zoning patterns. Plagioclase crystals from Qdt and Qto display similar textural attributes but differ with respect to compositional zoning types. The textural similarities suggest that the tuffs are comagmatic, but the difference in zoning patterns implies separate eruptive events. Further detailed studies of plagioclase phenocrysts from these ash-flow tuffs will provide greater insights into magmatic processes occurring at Newberry Volcano. 	 Fisher, Kara.

Observations by Lane County Public Health stakeholders show a correlation between rapport with LTCFs and prompt outbreak reporting. Proper communication between Lane County Public health and LTCFs is difficult due to high turnover rates. The purpose of this project was to develop resources related to norovirus outbreaks for LTCFs, to increase knowledge of LTCF administrators about these resources, and to increase prompt reporting of norovirus outbreaks to Lane County Public Health. Based on feedback from public health stakeholders, three trial LTCFs were chosen to receive education using an adapted norovirus toolkit. During onsite visits, the trial LTCFs administrators provided feedback about barriers to promptly reporting outbreaks and updated contact information for the trial LTCFs was collected. Additionally, an educational webinar about norovirus was developed for future utilization by LTCFs for staff education. Recommendations include establishing norovirus training standards throughout Lane County LTCFs, continuously updating LTCF contact information, and developing a process for measuring prompt reporting of norovirus outbreaks. 			Nursing		 Angela Docherty 

The risk of becoming homeless is a growing concern for both adults and the youth within the United States (Morton, Dworsky, & Samuels, 2017). The present study examined how the use of perspective taking instruction to induce empathy could be used as a promoter of prosocial behavior toward people experiencing homelessness. Past research has found evidence to support that asking an individual to consider what another person is thinking and feeling can lead to feelings of empathy, which can then motivate helping behavior (Oceja et al., 2014). Researchers have discovered a need for better suited resources for the growing homeless population, which include the ability of those working with the homeless to empathize and build connections with those they wish to help (Barman-Adhikari et al., 2016). Therefore, the present study hypothesized that participants given empathy inducing perspective taking instructions, versus objective perspective taking instruction, would indicate a higher likelihood of donating money (i.e., a prosocial behavior) to the homeless individual in the story provided. It was also hypothesized that those in the empathy group, versus the objective group, would donate more money, on average, to the homeless person in the story. The 42 participants were all psychology students at Western Oregon University who were recruited via SONA. The experiment was conducted via a survey administered online through Qualtrics. Participants were given one of the two perspective taking instructions, a short story to read about a homeless person, which was then followed by two questions in relation to likelihood of donating money and the amount willing to donate. The results indicated trends in line with the hypothesis, however, after performing an independent t-test it was discovered that neither result was significant: likelihood to donate money t(40)=1.142, n.s., amount of money willing to donate t(40)= 0.83, n.s. These findings suggest that further research is required to support that perspective taking instruction can effectively provoke prosocial behavior toward the homeless. Developing an understanding of ways to increase empathy toward the homeless, has the potential to improve current and future resources and aid in the effort to decrease the number of homeless individuals within the U.S. at any given time. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Brooke Nott 

The aim of this project was to assess perceptions and utilization of portfolios among OHSU SON students. Previous research suggests that portfolios can be used as a repository to highlight achievements, demonstrate competence to employers, and can help prepare for job interviews. A survey containing both quantitative and qualitative questions was sent out to student cohorts, alumni, and OHSU faculty on perceptions of portfolio benefits and utilization of the portfolio. Results showed that over half of the students felt that the portfolio was not useful, nor did they see the benefits. Almost all the students surveyed did not update their portfolio each term. Alumni felt the current portfolio was beneficial only when curating a resume. Faculty felt that the portfolio could be valuable to students but could be better implemented. There is ample evidence to show that portfolios can be beneficial for undergraduate student nurses. Recommendations were made to implement changes to increase student perceptions of portfolio benefits and portfolio utilization. This includes providing students with an orientation dedicated to the portfolio, change the platform from Sakai to Google Sites, include the portfolio in course curriculum, and remind students to download content from Sakai at the end of each term. 			Nursing		 Angela Docherty 

Bare earth LiDAR data at high spatial resolutions provides a tool for analysis of geomorphic surface features such as river channel patterns and landslide terrain. Surface expressions of topographic data yield insight into understanding the range of surface processes operating in mountainous watersheds.
This study employs ArcGIS10 spatial analyst extension to examine and calculate slope variance in LiDAR-based elevation models of the Upper Nehalem Watershed. Empirical classification of slope values into three classes, (0-20, 20-70 and 70-90) assists with geomorphic mapping of active channels, valley bottoms, hillslopes and landslide topography. Landslides are of particular importance because they have potential to be hazardous, impact riparian habitat, and affect water quality. High degrees of slope variability and hummocky topography are indicators of either current or past landslide activity. Use of GISbased analysis of LiDAR elevation models to guide geomorphic mapping in the Nehalem Watershed. 	 Keller, Riccilee.

These un-safe practices potentially lead to unintended pregnancies and can increase rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and long-term sequelae thereof. Purpose: This project aims to apply the Spectrum of Prevention model to develop a proposed project for a Personal Sexual Health Kit Online Ordering System at Western Oregon University (WOU). Methods: Informed by a review of the literature related to STI prevention on college campuses, and discussion with national leaders in this field, we developed an intervention that uses the Spectrum of Prevention as a framework to support the implementation of a Personal Sexual Health Kit Online Ordering System. Outcomes: The developed intervention can be implemented on the WOU campus and can be used as a model for other universities seeking to decrease stigma around sexuality and improve the health of their students. Implications: By addressing the Spectrum of Prevention, this project works at all levels to reduce stigma around sexuality and sexual health. In addition, we expect to see a reduction in STI rates among college students on campuses implementing this intervention. 			Nursing		 Angela Docherty 

This proposed program aims to reduce the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, as well as increase knowledge of sexual health and wellbeing. The key components of the proposed program include a community wide kick-off event, education sessions, self-testing kits, community forums, and STI surveillance within the three-county region.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are communicable diseases that are some of the most reported infectious diseases, with elevated rates in rural communities. Almost half of the 20 million reported cases in the United States are among individuals in the 15-24-year age group. Jefferson county has the highest STI rates in the state of Oregon, for example, Chlamydia occurring 723.6 per 100,000 population, higher than the state average of 432.5 per 100,000 population. Research suggests that rates of infection increase in populations that live in rural areas and reservations where travel is required for medical treatment which influences the higher rates of infection among Native Americans.
The overarching goal for the proposed program to build community capacity in Jefferson County by focusing on 3 specific objectives. (1) Engage community partners in informative community meetings throughout the program to gather information on barriers and facilitators to STI prevention and treatment; (2) Recruit 10 community partners to actively engage in STI prevention efforts; (3) develop local STI surveillance in the region by standardizing patient intake forms, and data collection methods. 			 Health/Exercise Science 		 Megan Patton-Lopez 

The number of possible orderings of the deck under these two types of shuffles is shown to be bounded by looking at the group structure formed by the two shuffles and by looking at various restrictions imposed by the shuffling types. One such restriction for even-sized decks is that if one card is a particular number of cards away from the top before shuffling, the card that is the same number of cards away from the bottom before shuffling will always be the same number of cards away from the bottom as the other card is away from the top after any amount of shuffles. 			Mathematics		 Cheryl Beaver 

High school geometry and algebra II students describe how they perceive their own math ability, where they think math ability comes from, and how they feel other people (family, teachers and peers) perceive their math ability. The student responses are then compared to their academic performance. The results show that students who believe that others see them as having natural math ability have a high self-perception of their own math ability and perform better in mathematics. 	 Fitzgerald, J.

When children encounter new events that they can interpret and respond to using either actions or thoughts (schemes), they experience equilibrium. Children assess schemes as they learn from experiences, modifying and forming new schemes through the process of assimilation and accommodation. Assimilation is when children can respond to and possibly interpret events in a way that is consistent with existing schemes, while accommodation requires modification or the formation of a new scheme (Ormrod, 2016). As children age, they increasingly meet situations in which their current knowledge is inadequate, causing a state of disequilibrium, or cognitive conflict. Children who are able to resolve this mental disharmony and move from disequilibrium to equilibrium, develop more advanced levels of reasoning (Ormrod, 2016).
In the current study, we aimed to design a lesson plan with such a cognitive-developmental perspective to equip eleventh graders with proper mental tools for effective equilibration in class and throughout their lives. By crafting a controlled state of cognitive dissonance, tempered with humor to balance the potentially heavy cognitive load, students learn to recognize and constructively respond to the psychological phenomenon of disequilibrium. Practicing this evaluation of individual cognitive dissonance during the critical-thinking exercises prepares students in consciously processing assimilation and accommodation; specifically, in regards to how their knowledge could be narrow, flawed, or improved upon. Students identify how cognitive dissonance can hinder communication, debate, research, and understanding of complex topics or diverse perspectives when handled inappropriately. 			Education		 Xiaopeng Gong 

This study measured perceptions of overall relationship satisfaction according to sexual frequency as a bystander. Participants read one of three stories which depicted a married couple who had one of 3 levels of intercourse frequency (i.e., level 1 = low sex frequency 4 times a month, level 2 = medium sex frequency 8 times a month, level 3 = high sex frequency 16 times a month) and rated the couple’s relationship satisfaction and level of positive attitudes on a Likert type scale (5 = extremely satisfied to 1 = extremely unsatisfied; 5 = extremely positive to 1 = extremely negative). A One-way ANOVA was conducted for relationship satisfaction and positive spousal attitudes. The hypothesis was partially supported. As predicted, the low sex frequency group was perceived as the least satisfied in the relationship (F(2,54) = 6.862, p = 0.003, ƞ2 = 0.2). There was no difference between the groups in perceptions of positive spousal attitudes according to sex frequency. These results suggest that people believe sex frequency to be important for overall relationship satisfaction, but that there is a drop off. 			 Psychological Sciences 		 Dan McCarthy 

The goal of this research was to look at the history and manufacturing of the soccer ball since the beginning of its time in the early 1800s and the trajectory of a floater kick. A floater kick is when there is no spin on the ball. This is a difficult kick to attain due to aerodynamic drag and the magnus effect of a moving object. Another concept examined is the speed the ball travels at with no spin across a certain distance for a single participant. Additional concepts assessed in this study were the average velocity for one kicker across three segments and to see if a critical Reynolds number was reached in a floater kick. 			 Health/Exercise Science 		 Brian Caster 

Mindfulness meditation can greatly reduce burnout in healthcare professionals when practiced regularly. A guided meditation mobile application can increase feasibility and utilization by healthcare professionals with varying schedules. The objectives of this performance improvement project was to increase knowledge of burnout and promote health and wellness. A needs assessment identified increased self-care as a health priority to reduce burnout, as well as staff interest in meditation as an intervention. A database search utilizing CINAHL, PubMed, and PsychInfo was conducted to identify evidence based meditation interventions. A performance improvement project focusing on individual utilization of the UCLA Mindful app and a resource brochure were designed and implemented based on evidence and feasibility. Barriers to addressing the subject of health promotion in order to prevent burnout include: varying staff schedules, varying health professions, and evaluation of behavior change. This poster highlights the process by which the interventions, education, and the introduction of a guided meditation mobile application were implemented. 			Nursing		 Rana Najjar 

Several sources were used to support findings, including the complexity of gender roles, the effects of showcasing hegemonic masculinity, and what we learn from such depictions. Supernatural presents a strong, bonded relationship between two heterosexual men. This representation is important because of the archetypes that the main characters portray. Since it is impossible for one man to be a perfect man, the brothers Sam and Dean represent the juxtaposition of complementary masculinities. I argue that the show depicts the importance of a durable friendship and the complicated workings of grief and trauma but it also addresses the ways men are supposed to process these emotions. Thus providing us with a helpful guideline. 					 Dana Schowalter 

It is a powerful communication tool and can be used to signal action, influence mood, and cause psychological reactions (Hemphil, 1996). Some teachers choose to print test on differently colored paper to prevent cheating but many studies have found an effect between colored paper and school performance. Previous studies have found that school performance was lower on test printed on colored paper compared to white paper. Specifically Skinner (2004) found that best performance was elicited by white paper. Using a between subject design, this study test the effects of color on school performance with pink, gray, and white paper. 	 Horton, LaTasha. "The Effects of Color on School Performance."

Consisting of a questionnaire, individual interviews, and a focus group, the study delves into students’ feelings and attitudes toward writing— allowing their voices to be heard, in the hopes of improving future writing instruction in schools. With the exorbitant amounts spent on writing remediation constantly climbing, student apprehension toward writing is a problem that must be addressed. This study seeks answers to this problem from the people who should know the most about it—the students. 	 Rush, J. (2012, May). Why are students so apprehensive about writing?.

The shooting strap is a product designed to help prevent the guide arm from interfering with the shooting arm as the shooting skill undergoes its process. The product is advertised as a tool for novice players that struggle keeping their guide arm/hand from pronating, interfering with the undergoing process of the shooting arm. Participants underwent three conditions (warm-up, strap, no strap) of 10 free-throw shots. Data collected during this study showed that there was no immediate benefit gained in precision during short term use. Data suggests the strap made the participant’s shots worse. Although the shooting strap may not be effective for short term use in increasing precision or accuracy, more studies need to be completed to determine if it has long term effectiveness in these areas. 			 Health/Exercise Science 		 Brian Caster 

Drawing upon participant observation and oral interviews I investigate how museums as institutions are influenced by the surrounding population and how the institution serves community needs through civic support and respect. As an entity funded by the city of Independence and supported by the Heritage Museum Society, this paper explores the Heritage Museum's mission and development of new ways in preserving the historical and cultural collections of oral history, art, and artifacts, which may not always fit appropriately with the museum's overall mission statement, donated by citizens of the mid-Willamette Valley. Interning for the Heritage Museum enhanced my appreciation for historical preservation. Collaborating with museum staff and society members, local support is rebuilt through special events such as the first annual birthday celebration, curation of a Native American exhibit, and a reestablished oral history project. 			Anthropology		 Kate Miller 

The purpose of this research is to examine how water affects the rate of soft tissue decomposition. More specifically we will document differences between how pool water (containing chlorine), lake water, and salt water affect the rate of decomposition differently by submerging one domestic pig rib in each water source for an equal amount of time. One pig rib will be kept out of water to serve as the control for the experiment. We will be documenting the decompositional changes for each rib every week. Previous research suggests that just being in water, as opposed to buried in soil, alters the rate of decomposition because it allows for articulating joints to move in three dimensions. We want to investigate this further to see if different kinds of water will either speed up the rate of decomposition or slow it down. 			 Criminal Justice 		 Misty Weitzel 

When a plant is experiencing root restriction, it becomes more stressed. In this study, I aimed to investigate the relationship between root restriction and the physiological effects on Helianthus annuus; I hypothesized that H. annuus will experience reduced physiological function. Control plants (n=5) were grown in 7-Liter pots and root restricted plants (n=5) were grown in 9 cm pots. After four weeks of treatment with ample water and nutrients, a series of physiological and anatomical tests were performed. The root restricted plants had a decrease in both total leaf area and leaf area to mass ratio, but produced similar maximum photosynthesis rate per unit area as the control plants. The results of this study provided mixed results for my hypothesis, suggesting that the decrease in root volume negatively affects physiological and anatomical functions of the plant, but the plant is able to acclimate to the space it is planted in. 			Biology		 Ava Howard 

Throughout my design and sociology studies, I have developed in-depth methods of concept building through ethnographic and qualitative research to create brands, interactive media, illustrations, and beyond. I think a lot about human nature, sex and relationships, life and death, social problems and politics, and often reflect these ideas throughout my personal work.

Crops are needing to be grown in harsher environments than the ideal farmlands. Knowing what stressors a species can deal with and what will definitely destroy it can help farmers get more successful harvests in imperfect conditions. This experiment aims to test the resilience of pea plants (Pisum sativum) in sandy soil. If plants need nutrients to grow and maintain organs, then the lack of nutrients will inhibit growth by shorter height, lower leaf count, and more necrosis of leaves. Due to the nature of sand not holding water as well as typical soil may also lead to drought stress. In the experiments to follow, I looked at the possibility of both nutrient stress and drought stress affecting the growth, leaf count, water potential of the plants. 			Biology		 Ava Howard 

There are many methods that can be implemented to help assess the sex, but when only a skull is available, common morphological traits of the cranium and mandible can be used. Ten morphological traits were used to estimate the sex of the unknown skull. Using these ten characteristics, I was able to accurately conclude whether the skull came from a male or female individual. 	 Salisbury, Elizabeth.

In particular, society’s emphasis on low-fat, low-cal nutrition has created a huge desire for something other than milk in cereal, ice-cream, coffee etc., but are these alternatives actually healthier? In this project, I will examine the media portrayal of three major dairy alternatives, soy-milk, almond-milk, and rice-milk, and whether the nutritional truths, discovered through background research, back up the views and expectations of the consumer, as determined by a questionnaire. I will compare what people think is the healthiest with what the actual facts are. 	 Stinson, Megan. "Dairy and Dairy Alternatives: Media Portrayal vs. Nutritional Facts."

The Haitian Revolution has been covered numerous times by historians and has sparked different themes, theories, and conclusions. One interesting angle is the white French plantation owners' overall role in the event. Their greed, cruelty, poor workforce management, and moral shortcomings contributed to the slave revolt, and the successful revolution shaped how the United States reacted and adapted its version of slavery. This paper examines what went wrong for the plantation owners while also considering what helped the slaves succeed. I argue that the plantation and slave owners inadvertently helped advance the revolution and when news of the Haitian revolt and refugees arrived in America, it ironically strengthened the pro-slavery views and policies in the United States in the early 19th century. 			History					 John L.

Instead, an increasingly monarchical parliamentary system of government reigned. This government was controlled by Puritans, a hardline sect of Protestant Christianity. Although they were a religious minority and their laws relating to morality were unpopular, the Puritans pursued these policies with religious zeal linking seemingly innocuous activities, such as cock-fighting or a may-pole celebration with the supposed evils of Catholicism. Legal documents such as “March 1654: An Ordinance for prohibiting Cock-matches” and “June 1657: An Act for the better observation of the Lord’s Day” ban activities based on associations with drinking and gambling, and then in a speech by Oliver Cromwell (1564), those activities are linked with Catholicism. This demonstrates the integral role religious thought played in Puritan laws. This project is the study of how one group with a radical vision of society used language to link domestic and foreign policy to Godliness and sin, despite a lack of popular support or resulting political gain. 			History					 Elizabeth Swedo 

Unlike the crusades in the Holy Lands which were initiated to retake holy cities and pilgrimage sites, the Baltic crusades were implemented by the German archbishoprics of Bremen and Magdeburg to combat pagan tribes in the Baltic region which included Estonia, Prussia, Lithuania, and Latvia. The Teutonic Order, which arrived in the Baltic region in 1226, was successful in their smaller initial campaigns to combat raiders, as well as in their later crusades to conquer and convert pagan tribes. As an Order that focused on Eastern Europe and the Baltic, the Teutonic Order had to balance their relationship between both the papacy and other Christian kingdoms near the region, particularly the Holy Roman Empire. The Teutonic Order successfully balanced the support of the Holy Roman Empire and the papacy, to become a powerful theocratic state carrying out a mission of conquest and conversion in the Baltic region. Eventually the Teutonic Order, despite its success through the Baltic crusades, would eventually fail in the sixteenth century against a coalition of Mongol, Russian, and Turkish forces. 			History					 Elizabeth Swedo 

Based on an internship at the Oregon State Archives, this presentation will examine the American Mental Health System in the Progressive Era through the Depression era. I have consulted patient files that look at life inside the Oregon State Hospital, how processes in the state archives work, and how specific cases from the files I looked at show the realities of asylum life during the Progressive Era. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

The records help to illuminate the existence of Progressive ideals to rehabilitate patients through institutionalization and rehabilitation and the new science of psychiatry. The sources and records show that the ideals of the Progressive reformers in Oregon fell short of the realities of the Oregon State Hospital. Using a Jane Doe file from the Oregon State Archives committed in 1921 and discharged in 1924 I use her personal experiences, through correspondence and nurses notes, to enlighten upon Progressive themes. Jane Doe’s file specifically illuminates where human rights were disregarded in the pursuit of Progressive attempts. My research also shows the pervasive terminologies and social ideologies, towards mental illness and healthy mating, that developed and still exist from the Progressive era. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

Prior to Geoffrey’s History of the Kings of Britain, there was little to no mention of the legendary king in early medieval historical texts. Geoffrey’s development of Arthur paved the way for future authors and storytellers to implement Integrate King Arthur in their work, developing and expanding the legend. This paper will utilize Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain and identify its influences in other Arthurian tales from the medieval period (eleventh century to sixteenth century) including Marie de France’s Lais, Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’arthur, and the Welsh folktale compilation, the Mabinogion. Analysis of these literary and historical sources demonstrates that other medieval authors used Geoffrey’s tale of King Arthur for political and social advancement when writing for nobility and also adapting and adding to the Arthur legend to fit their own cultural norms. Identifying how Geoffrey’s History of the Kings of Britain was adapted and spread is important in identifying what causes myths and legends to catch on and last well beyond the time of their creation. 			History					 Elizabeth Swedo 

With the opening of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and German reunification a year later, German courts began to address whether the border guards, their officers, or political leadership of the former East Germany should be tried for these deaths. If East Germany no longer existed, could West German laws be applied to these cases? This project examines this issue by examining trials that were conducted in the 1990s and the legal sources that examine this issue. Based on my research I argue that the trials, which were hastily organized, mistakenly went after the border guards instead of those that gave them, and broke the Reunification Treaty. 			History					 David Doellinger 

The two patient case files are examined for their content regarding the treatments given to patients in order to determine the rationale behind the treatments. This rationale would often cross the line between treatment and discipline. The treatments were chosen in reaction to the behaviors of the patients and were an attempt to control their bodies. The treatments examined are put into context with a comparison to the greater psychiatric medical field as presented by secondary scholarship. This scholarship includes the works of both medical historians such as Joel Braslow and social historians including John D’Emilio and Estelle Freedman. Through the examination of the two case files and secondary scholarship the therapeutic rationale of physicians is inspected. This thesis takes the narrative of two female patients from the Oregon State Hospital and orients them in the medical field of the period. An evolution of psychiatric treatment occurred from the 1890s through the 1950s and by analyzing the field in the 1920s this thesis presents a look at one point within this change. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen, Todd Shaffer 

This legislation would aim to aid women workers in securing shorter hours, higher wages and better working environments, but ultimately was met with contention. To achieve the goal of protecting women, women’s organizations like the Consumers’ League of Oregon adopted the idea of difference theory which stated that men and women are fundamentally different, and took to the courts. This research showcases the importance of difference theory in the approval of women’s labor rights in Oregon and highlights that while protection was granted, it was at the expense of women’s identities as laborers. Sex-based legislation might have convinced the supreme courts that women deserved protection, but it also convinced the courts that women would never be equal to men. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

Journalists who covered the war later produced memoirs of their time within the region. These accounts influenced the views and language of other journalists who wrote for newspapers in the United States at the time. This can be seen through the development of common language among journalists, such as the term “ethnic cleansing.” This project examines articles from United States newspapers, from their early coverage of the conflict to their later efforts to encourage American intervention in Bosnia. These newspapers guided their readership to support an interventionist policy by the United States, which was realized in the Dayton Agreement. 			History					 David Doellinger 

During the Progressive Era and the Depression steps toward progress and reform were being taken and this included the concepts of civic medicine and new science. While steps were taken forward using these new ideas and modes of treatment there were still areas where steps backwards were taken such as in the Eugenics movement and patient abuse. My internship at the Oregon State Archives allowed me a closer look at the individual female patients’ records and gives an inside look at what life was really like in an asylum. These records show the popular beliefs and ideologies that existed regarding mental illness. The patient case files showed how civic medicine and psychiatry was being implemented to help care for the mentally ill and shows the areas where more reform was needed. Through my examination of these patients’ records the real story of what life was like living in the Oregon State Hospital from these patients’ perspective will be shown. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

Many details of mental hospitals and the treatment of its patients have been omitted from popular literature and media. These patients were subjected to harsh treatment and forced to undergo extreme therapies that doctors claimed would improve their condition. In particular, female patients were also affected by the events that occurred during the early twentieth century, namely World War I and the Great Depression, and the stigmas of race and gender that they caused. Mental illness remained an understudied topic for much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but historians in recent decades have taken up the task of studying mental illness and revealing mistakes and challenges of the past. This paper incorporates the work of these historians, such as Joel Braslow and Gerald Grob, as well as the examination of two female patient files from Oregon State Hospital in the 1920s. These patients and their institutionalization served as a reflection of society and how it affected the concept of mental illness during that time period. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

It examines three key aspects of internment from the Japanese American perspective: initial feelings of the camps and their conditions; the ways in which Japanese Americans maintained a traditional life during internment or, particularly in the case of Japanese American women, found new opportunities through internment to break with certain traditions; and how both age and gender played a role in their perception of events as well as their ability to resist internment. Oral history interviews with Japanese Americans who were interned provide the main primary source information. Military documents of camp examinations and newspaper articles show the racist climate of the United States during internment. Using these primary sources in conjunction with secondary scholarship from some of the most respected names in Asian American Studies, Roger Daniels, Linda Tamura and Valarie Matsumoto, who have all written extensively on the topic, a better understanding of the experiences Japanese Americans had in the internment camps can be gained. Japanese Americans resisted both racism and internment during this time. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

As an opposition movement in the 1980s, Solidarity promoted the rights of Polish citizens through working with the Polish Party-State. The work of Jacek Kuron laid the foundation for Solidarity through opposition movements in the 1960s and 1970s. Jacek Kuron started his activist career in graduate school where he released an “Open Letter to the Party” in 1964. In the letter Kuron accused party officials that they are not following a true communist agenda. Kuron’s activism later led to the creation of Committee for the Defense of Workers (1976) and eventually to Solidarity (1980). Many scholarly accounts of Solidarity mention Kuron briefly with accounts of him being an influential part of Solidarity and how he was an advisor for the group that used his experiences to direct how things needed to be done even from prison. This project focuses on the oppositional activities of Kuron whose moderate stance guided opposition movements towards a worker’s democracy. 			History					 David Doellinger 

During the Progressive Era (1890-1920) there was a rise in the use of mental health institutions and along with it came patients from various backgrounds. Many patients were admitted either voluntarily or by others in good faith for recovery from their mental ailments. Others however, fell victim to mental institutions being used to work against marginalized groups during this time. Two case files show individual examples of immigrants who were put in the State Hospital in the early 20th century and display how they were treated within and without the walls of the hospital. With the support of secondary sources from scholars like Joel Braslow, Susan Burch, and John D’Emilio and Estelle B. Freedman, practices within the Oregon State Hospital are analyzed. There is also an emphasized investigation on how mental health institutions operated against marginalized groups in the early 20th century. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

Using patient case files from the 1920s at the Oregon State Mental Hospital, the story of two patients that were committed is explored. Each patient had treatment and, in some cases, abuses at the hands of the state institutions. In many cases treatment was used as control under the guise of cure. Using the works of social and medical historians to place context on the socially acceptable practices of the time, the paper builds an understanding of the state mental hospital. Through government files such as legislation, patient medical files, Eugenics Board of Oregon files, and death certificates, the patient’s life stories are recreated and explored. With insufficient staff, insufficient funding, and sever overcrowding of the state institutions, the need for control of patients became paramount. Treatments like Eugenics, hydrotherapy, and isolation and restraint became control measures hidden behind a veil of treatment and cure. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

The Royal Road of the Interior Land served as the sole trade and supply route to the frontier regions of New Spain for the better part of three centuries. The eighteenth century mission colony of Santa Fe was the northern terminus of El Camino Real. Caravan trade parties that traveled the near 1,600-mile route were the only means for buying and selling goods in Santa Fe. Native laborers were the backbone of the self-sustaining colony and manufactured numerous trade exports. The combination of Native American contributions and merchant trade on El Camino Real were the reasons for Santa Fe’s ultimate survival as a permanent settlement. I will be examining letters by two eighteenth century governors of New Mexico one of which provides requests and information on supplies needed to be sent overland for mission upkeep. Additionally, colonial era textiles provide an insightful example of commodities produced by Pueblo artisans for trade and purchase of needed imports. Sources from the Spanish and the natives provide some balance in contextualizing trade systems on El Camino Real. 			History					 John L. Rector 

This thesis examines the agreements and treaties made between China, Russia and Mongolia between 1881 and 1924 to illustrate how the Mongolian People’s Republic formed as a direct result of unfavorable diplomatic relations between the three nations. However, due to the wording of these agreements, Russia never acknowledged Mongolia’s autonomy from China making Mongolia's push for independence difficult to achieve. With China facing the Revolution of 1911, Mongolia seized independence only to be stripped of this independence by China in 1919. Key revolutionaries formed two groups that eventually merged in 1920 to form The Mongolian People's Republic. These revolutionaries went into Russia to find aid in pushing the Chinese out of their country again. In 1921, a White Army General Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg invaded Urga, driving out the Chinese. China refused to retaliate or act on the behest of the Mongolian people allowing the Soviet Union to act instead. In late 1921 the Soviet Union executed the Baron and liberated Mongolia from both China and Tsarist Russia in one act. With China unwilling to act, they had effectively ceded their influence over Mongolia to the Soviet sphere of influence in which the Soviet Union backed the establishment of the MPR in 1924. 			History					 David Doellinger 

In 1948, the assassination of liberal leader Jorge Gaitan led to a period of political unrest known as “La Violencia.” This situation jeopardized Colombia’s alliance with the United States, and American advisors recommended the creation of civil defense patrols to combat communism. Consequently, military forces allied to the government operated in rural Colombia against communist supporters. There was, however, little control over these troops, and its members committed multiple crimes, including mass murder. Those who stood against them, such as prosecutor Ivan Gomez, faced death threats and witnessed the assassination of colleagues, while corrupt justices and politicians did not intervene. Therefore, the close association between the Colombian government and the paramilitaries has resulted in the lack of prosecution of these death squads for their crimes. To approach this topic, I will use interviews with members of the AUC, which was the largest paramilitary group in Colombia, and Human Rights Watch reports. I will also look at works of many historians who examine how the Colombian military cooperates with paramilitaries, enables their crimes, and prevents their prosecution. 			History					 Ricardo Pelegrin 

The U.S. focused on Saudi Arabia as an ally in Southwest Asia mainly because of the U.S.’s need for oil in a modernizing world. But as the Cold War continued, Saudi Arabia served as a strong agent against the spread of Communism in the region. As the self-proclaimed Islamic leader to the Arab world, Saudi Arabia held, and continues to hold, significant influence over Arab nations in Southwest Asia. The U.S.’s promise of protection for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has lasted through the Cold War, which insinuates that the U.S. planned to use its connection with Saudi Arabia to expand its influence over the wider region known as the Middle East. Letters between U.S. presidents and the Saudi Arabian monarchy, letters between the U.S. State Department and officials of Saudi Arabia, and Western newspaper articles covering Saudi Arabia between 1945 and 1953 are the main sources used to examine the relationship established between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. The U.S.’s intention in Southwest Asia was not only to stop the spread of Communism or protect American oil, but establish an authoritative presence in Southwest Asia through an alliance with Saudi Arabia. 			History					 John L.

The killing of a Black worker who died while in police custody, and the dismissal of four black volleyball players because the manager didn’t want to inspire more Black players to join the team and lose white customers who were against the inclusion of Afro-Brazilians. These two events inspired the creation of the Unified Black Movement (MNU) a month after the events occurred, leading to the challenging of social apartheid which had been implemented by Brazilian society this day leading to an increase in Black Consciousness through the change of when Black history day was and an overall push towards racial equality through legislation changes made to the Brazilian constitution, that’s continued to this day. The Unified Black Movement ended up becoming the most influential black mobilization group since Brazilian abolition occurred in 1888. 			History					 Patricia Goldsworthy-Bishop 

The process of actualized theology which occurred within the spheres of liturgical, sacramental, and ecclesiastical changes demonstrates a more direct link between Calvin and the construction of a religious community in Geneva than the Confessionalization thesis holds. The paper addresses the historiographical failings of both historians who have sought to politicize Calvin to suit modern ideological frameworks, and historians who have ignored the links between structural and theological adaptations that occurred during the Reformation. The paper looks specifically at the development of eucharistic theology by Calvin, and how that intellectual development shaped the sacramental customs of the Lord’s Supper and the liturgy surrounding it. Additionally the paper observes a connection between Calvin’s thought on reconciliation within the Bible, such as the process of on hands, and the approach Calvin had towards punishment and reconciliation of sinners and criminals within the Genevan community. This paper argues that the application of the Confessionalization thesis, whereby the state leads the process of confession building in a preceding movement towards Early Modern centralization, does not apply to the early Genevan Reformed church and the process of confession building was, instead, led principally by Calvin. 			History					 David Doellinger 

To do this he, broke war down into its fundamental parts and recognized them all as necessary aspects to his theory. This is unlike many other military theorists such as Antoine Henri Jomini (1779-1869) who placed no emphasis on political goals. Clausewitz’s work was highly influenced by the Enlightenment and sought to examine warfare as a rational tool for political policy. Concerned with the political and military aspect, like Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527), Clausewitz was addressing the concept of war as pertaining to a nation state or a political entity. Because of his grounding in Enlightenment values, Clausewitz examines war as a rational option in politics and not just a random act of human emotion. Thus his On War, though written in the early nineteenth century, continues to influence political and military leaders today because it remains an applicable study of the application of force between political entities, taking into account not just mathematical studies, but elements of human nature and the primacy of aligning political and military goals in war. 			History

questions the role of museums, specifically the British Museum, in the promotion of national
identity in the late twentieth century. An analysis of this controversy suggests that museums,
while helping maintain a national identity, also promote a global identity, albeit inadvertently.
This paper seeks to examine the interaction between nationalism and museums, with a view to
assessing what significance the Parthenon Sculptures have in the British Museum. Additionally,
it attempts to presents the Greek demand for the return of these sculptures in context of the
opening of the new Acropolis Museum in June of 2009 in Athens. 			History

wearing extensive armor, carrying a large rounded shield, spears, and a sword. By
looking at armor, weapons, tactics, and vases recovered from archaeological digs, along
with literature of the time, such as Homers Iliad (ca. 700 B.C.)1 and Hesiods Shield of
Heracles (ca. end of the late 8th century B.C)2, who and what a hoplite was can be
defined. The scholarly consensus has been that eighth century B.C. is crucial in exploring
the origins of hoplites. The eighth century sees a dramatic increase in population leading
to the rise of city-states and hoplites. In this paper I am going to consider the evidence for
the existence of hoplites during the eighth century B.C. and whether or not there is any
evidence for their existence before this. 			History

Every
couple of months one can turn on the news, open the newspaper, or get online and find
that someone else has left an infant in a restroom, or by the side of the road, or on
someones doorstep. Despite the Safe Haven laws in most states new mothers still leave
their children in public restrooms to be found by a stranger, or left to die. Leaving infants
somewhere they can be found is something that started thousands of years ago. This
paper will focus on infants that were abandoned in the first centuries B.C. and A.D. in
ancient Rome with a practice known as infanticide, also called exposure. It occurred
often in the ancient world and there were many reasons why it happened. Parents
endangered their children in this way because they loved their children, the ones they
raised as well as the ones they exposed. 			History

In the past they have been depicted as witches and wise women that were often feared and revered by those in need of their special powers. Every society has sought the skilled hands of a midwife and healer to provide comfort in times of birth and in sickness.
My interest in the history and cultural significance of midwifery stems from curiosity in its ancient and its modern practice. By examining past and present examples and by comparing this important phenomenon between cultures historically, it is my understanding that there are more similarities than differences in the practice of midwifery. The differences may lie in the social, spiritual and taboo aspects of childbirth among various cultures. And those differences may involve technique, which may vary world wide. Other factors entail the status of women within a specific culture, but that these differences do not affect the similar relationship in the practice of midwifery. Further, that Western medicine historically has been more of a foe than a friend to midwifery as a matter of course and that today the two appear to be more collaborative than they have been in the past. I seek to demonstrate this later on in this study. 			History

Those guidelines kept women in certain boundaries. Women had no defined legal identity as an individual. Women grew to resent being repressed socially and legally with the constant law changes restricting the liberties permitted to their gender. Their only outlet was gossip, allowing them to have a degree of control over their own lives and the lives of others. The fine nuances found within idealistic womanhood could contribute to the tensions generating suspicions among the female gender. Freedoms of speech permitted to women could be considered a catalyst of the Salem Witch trials in 1692. The results of the Salem trials proved the greatest preventive of any future outbreaks in the court system. After Salem, the law realized the errors made during Salem, and pardoned the victims of the afflicted girls’ cruelty. Evidence from various trials and writings of the time period during the late seventeenth century show a gender bias, due to the records being kept by men, and the legal proceedings being led by men. The authorities, judges, and jury were made up of males. It could be considered that that were very few writings which display the experiences of Colonial-era women. 			History

The exploits of Marco Polo, and other explorers of his day, have overshadowed the feats accomplished in the classical world. However, a little known account, given in the Hou-han-shu [The Annals of the Later Han Dynasty], records that in AD 166 a Roman embassy reached the imperial Chinese court. Western scholars have cast doubt over this account, few outright denying its accuracy, while others dismiss the importance of the embassy. In light of modern scholarship on ancient south-east Asia, however, this paper will establish the legitimacy of the embassy by examining the trade between the Roman Empire and the East. This paper seeks to examine Chinese records within the historical frame of Indo-Roman trade with a view to establish its legitimacy and explain the purpose of the embassy and ascertain the route it travelled. 			History

The discovered land held new resources, new territory, and new peoples. Conquistadors were enthralled by the lure of gold and territory. But the Spanish government and colonists faced the problem of the nature and status of the people that already inhabited these lands. Were they to be treated as equals, serfs, or slaves? Were they even really people? The answers to these questions were complex and unclear. The Spanish crown made many laws regarding how the natives and colonists should interact, however, much of this legislation was ignored by colonists and conquerors. Most of the colonists were more than happy to exploit the natives, but some religious orders opposed this exploitation. One of the most outspoken defenders of indigenous rights was the Dominican Order. An especially tenacious Dominican defender of natives' rights was Fr. Bartolome de Las Casas, who campaigned for native rights during the early and mid-sixteenth century. As this paper will show, Las Casas’ championship of indigenous rights was shaped by his European heritage. 			History					 Max Geier 

Not only did his reforms but also his conduct & tactics as a commander paved the way to victory over Jugurtha and future foes. By considering the claims of rival commanders during the war, Q. Caecilius Metellus (ca 160 BC – 91 BC) and L. Cornelius Sulla (c. 138 BC – 78 BC), it can be determined whether or not Marius truly deserved credit for the victory because each one of them played key roles in Jugurtha’s defeat. Marius’ reforms, while they significantly improved the Roman military, they would also cause dissent within the Roman nobility and eventually bring an end to the Republic. 			History					N/A

First were the conflicts over living space and access to the land. By the 1830’s, with the discovery of gold and other precious metals on Indian lands, the forced relocation of the Native peoples west of the Mississippi began. Since then there have been waves of prospectors, mining companies and government-funded corporations looking, and finding, valuable natural resources within Indian Territory all over the country. Finally, after the Native Americans had been relocated on seemingly worthless lands in the west, another precious resource was found, uranium. With relocation no longer an option because the American population had now surrounded the Indians and their lands it was decided that mining for this dangerous resource would have to take place despite the Indian populations’ presence. The results of uranium mining shattered the health of Navajo miners and their families and drastically contaminated their environment. This paper will examine the environmental and biological effects of uranium mining during the Cold War on the Navajo peoples in the American southwest as well as the continuing efforts to reclaim their environment in the wake of the United States’ drive towards nuclear superiority. 			History					N/A

Political propaganda promoted his military victories, advocated his humble origins, popularized that he had brought peace to Rome, and earned him favorable accounts in the writings of the historians he funded. Sculptural propaganda promoted Vespasian's military victories, expressed his noble virtues, depicted how he began the Flavian legacy, how he distanced himself from Emperor Nero, demonstrated the efforts the Flavians had made for their people, and endorsed the peace he had brought to Rome. Through these efforts, Vespasian legitimized his sovereignty through a political and sculptural propaganda campaign to win the approval of the Roman Senate and people. 			History					N/A

The Vestal's image is one that has captured the imagination of writers, painters, sculptures and scholars for centuries. However this near divine woman is more than what she appears. The Vestal was more than a virgin; she was the daughter, mother and priestess of Rome herself. Behind this "glamorous" image is a strong, influential, pious and powerful woman who has sacrificed her sexuality and familial ties for not just the service of the Goddess Vesta but also to reap the rewards that such devotion sowed. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the many faces behind the Vestal virgin, and how she achieved not only political power and honor but ritually forged the sacred familial protections on a grand scale -the protection of The Empire at large. 			History					 Benedict Lowe 

Nicaragua is an armed camp supplied by Cuba and threatening a communist takeover of all of Central America.” For the next eight years as Commander-in-Chief, this mindset would shape his perspective on the small Third World country about the size of North Carolina. The Administration’s policies, actions, and attitudes toward Nicaragua and other perceived hostile nations became known as “Reagan Doctrine.” The defeat of the Nicaraguan Revolution became the “cornerstone of the Reagan Central American policy and the test case of Reagan Doctrine.” This paper offers an analysis and critique of the effectiveness of Reagan Doctrine in Nicaragua. 			History					 John L.

The Gallic rebels had proven to be a challenge to the invading Roman armies which Caesar led from 58 to 52 B.C. However, in the midst of this conflict, Caesar made the unusual decision to turn his attention to a new locale, Britain. With one campaign currently underway, we must ask ourselves; why would Caesar turn his focus elsewhere when it wasn’t an imminent threat? What did he hope to accomplish by this action? What after-effects did Caesar’s campaign have on both Britain and Rome respectively? Caesar’s invasions in 55-54 B.C. had a dramatic effect on shaping the histories of both the Roman Empire and the Isle of Britain. His operations influenced the world in many different ways; economically, politically, and socially. Through the course of this paper, I shall attempt to identify what Caesar’s rationale was for invading and what he achieved based on Caesar’s own writings in conjunction with the archeological and historical evidence gathered through secondary sources. Then, I will analyze and compare the results of the invasion that Caesar believes he accomplished with modern historians’ views to determine the successfulness of his campaign. Along with challenging Caesar’s point of view concerning the Romano-British incursion, I will closely examine the impact of the Roman Empire on Britain society and vice versa. 			History					 Benedict Lowe 

This time is generally considered to be the time when the Greeks imported much of their culture to the Etruscans and gave Etruscan culture its distinct Hellenistic cast. Since excavations have been carried out on only a very few Etruscan settlements, this influence is instead most noticeable in burials where foreign elements have been found, including imported dining wares and painted banquet scenes with plenty of
Greek elements. The presence of these elements has in the past been interpreted as the Etruscans allowing facets of Greek civilization to overtake their own. However, as Bruno D’Agostino states, “...in the ancient Mediterranean world the moment of death is the occasion on which the community tends to make explicit its own system of values...” and funerary images are the society’s own descript ion of itself. Thus, as shown by their own burials, the Etruscans absorbed cultural elements from Greece and the Near East and adapted them for use with their own traditions. 			History					 John L. Rector 

Marius’s reforms were created to strengthen the Republic by professionalizing Rome’s military, but instead the political impact of the reforms had long term consequences that helped contribute to the decline of the late Roman Republic. In this paper the decline of the Roman Republic refers to the weakening of the Senate’s authority over Rome’s military and generals. The reform with the biggest impact was the opening up of the military to the capite censi or landless poor. In passing this reform Marius opened up the military to Rome’s largest class, but it created problems for the Republic, in the form of what to do with the men once they retired from active duty. Marius believed that he solved the issue of what to do with the retired men, when he made a deal with the Senate to give his troops plots of land on retirement. Instead of fixing the problem, Marius opened the door for other generals to use the giving of land to manipulate their troops into supporting their political ambitions. 			History					 Alaric Trousdale 

The outside countries see only the fact that a husband and wife are allowed to have just one child and not the crisis that the Chinese government wanted to alleviate. Since this subject tends to be presented in different written works with a biased perspective, it can be difficult for an outsider to get a true understanding of the policy. People do not see what events in China’s history may have been the reason for the establishment of the policy, what China’s government wanted to gain from the policy and how it has changed China’s population for (what seems to be) the better. The One-Child Policy prevented economic problems for the people of China because a large number of the people were persuaded to follow the policy. 			History					N/A

This civilization stretched from what is today southern Mexico, down through modern day Guatemala, Belize and parts of Honduras. Contrary to popular belief, these people were not a homogeneous group, but various separate city-states with their own political systems and agendas. However, most of these distinct groups seemed to have a good deal in common, namely their religious rituals and beliefs. Polytheistic to a large extent, the ancient Maya had a religious system that modern readers may see as confusing and illogical. They worshiped gods who were at the same time male and female, young and old, associated with both peace and war, and who resided in stones, trees, food and mountains. Though the importance of these gods and locations of worship varied from city-state to city-state, through out the Maya area a great deal of importance was given to three things: caves, water and corn (maize). 			History					 John L.

There is however a new story that is being explored, one that tells of a bloodthirsty man, always in search of the next battle, constantly putting himself and others in danger. 			History					N/A

Most research has predominantly focused on the eugenics movements within individual countries and not the interplay between them. Through letters, pamphlets, propaganda, and research conducted by eugenics organizations, my research explores the contact between movements and focuses on the exchange itself. A pamphlet produced by the Human Betterment Foundation entitled best illustrates the exchange of ideas. It was created in 1934, and argued in favor of the advantages and benefits of sterilization of unfit individuals. The Nazi journal viewed this survey as evidence that the more information people had about sterilization, the more likely it was that they would support it. This source supports my overall argument that the eugenics movement exchanged information on the international front and adapted information for local publics. 			History					 David Doellinger 

With an unknown disease wiping out populations globally, physicians sought to explain and combat the plague through religion and medicine. Scholars have recognized disparities in medical responses across cultures in relation to religion, without exploring the root theological cause of these differences. My research focuses on variances between Christian and Muslim physicians’ reasons for the disease by examining the religious doctrine, namely the Qur’an, the Hadith literature, and the Bible along with medical treatises, plague tracts, and first-hand accounts of the plague from the fourteenth century. Through analysis of these sources, some of the major differences that come to light are the presence of plague in religious literature, the significance and practice of prayer in religion, and finally, the rejection and acceptance of the theory of contagion. Most importantly, however, each of these differences can be tied back to the notions of sin and salvation that existed in both religions. This underlying similarity suggests although the basis of medical knowledge in Muslim and Christian society came from classical Greece and Rome, use of that knowledge differed, signifying that it was each religion’s concepts of sin and salvation that varied the medical response. Ultimately, this research helps to clarify the religious influences on medicine during the medieval era and shows the progression of the medical field from classical antiquity to the fourteenth century across the religions of Islam and Christianity. 			History					 Elizabeth Swedo 

The complaints of the peasantry during the revolt would echo through the following centuries. The chronicles of Jean Froissart, Henry Knighton, Thomas Walsingham, as well as the Anonimalle Chronicle recorded the events before, during, and after the uprising and gave sometimes conflicting interpretations of the Revolt. Analyzing these chronicles and other medieval documents, historians have developed their own idea explanation of the motivations of the Peasants’ Revolt ranging from social, to political, to economic, or to religious incentives for rebelling—or some combination of these factors. With an issue as complicated as the Peasants’ Revolt, these motivations were likely to have been heavily intertwined. It is the goal of this paper to piece various chronicles, court cases, and labor legislation together with the secondary scholarship of other historians and show the underlying tensions of the Peasants’ Revolt: a drive for economic security. Although the common people reacted to a variety of religious, political, social and economic concerns during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, a quest for economic security was an underlying motivation for people of all social and economic statuses. 			History					 Elizabeth Swedo 

In the 1620s, the Church of England recognized that it still lacked cohesion and sound doctrine; thus, King Charles I (r. 1625-1649) and Archbishop William Laud (1633-1641) sought to bring the diverse ideas and sects of Christianity together under one unified church. Other historians have touched upon the concept of sacred space in England during this period; I argue that debates of sacred space are embedded in these attempts at unifying the Anglican church’s theological identity. Laud, largely inspired by the theology of Dutchman Jacobus Arminius, reintroduced the notion of the “beauty of holiness” to the Church of England; however, many who were steadfast in their Protestantism feared Catholicism was coming back. Drawing upon the Church of England’s visitation articles and injunctions, sermons, and personal writings of Laud, many of the changes occurring concerned the standardization of physical space and sounds appropriate for church services. Organ music, psalm and hymn singing returned to churches – unsettling many Puritans who relied solely on preaching from the Bible. The largest controversy ensued over the placement of the communion table and the reintroduction of altars. After years of instability, the Church of England's highest authorities desired to develop a stronger, reformed theological identity specifically through the standardization of physical space and the soundscape, demonstrating the struggles of a kingdom seeking church reform yet divided by religion. 			History					 Elizabeth Swedo 

American painter Herbert Andrew Paus’s poster “The United States Army Builds Men. Apply Nearest Recruiting Office,” (1919) published by the Niagara Lithograph Company, shows a golden-colored U.S. soldier with his eyes fixed on a globe, surrounded by three distinct figures labeled, and representing, character, crafts, and physique. These three virtues were necessary qualifications for being a soldier, and innate characteristics of American manhood. By applying these three virtues as models for American masculinity in World War I and its aftermath in America, this paper examines their application to subjects such as shell shock, venereal disease, race and eugenics, and post-war reconstruction.
Historians have analyzed these characteristics of masculinity in World War I, but have not articulated it by using these three categories, namely character, crafts, and physique. This paper will look not only at the use of this model of masculinity during the war itself, but will also look at where these ideas came from prior to the war, as well as how these ideas played out in the aftermath of the war. This paper will highlight some of the inconsistencies found among these characteristics, as well as the overall breakdown of the model as a whole through its application in WWI-era America. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

The corresponding urbanization leading up to and throughout the Progressive Era meant that growing communities would have to adapt to new social, economic, and political circumstances. Other historians have discussed these changes within American society extensively, but have spent much less time elaborating on how progressive reformers utilized designed spaces to respond to them. During this period, city planners and community leaders alike sought to access the design and implementation of “restorative” spaces to mitigate concerns stemming from the changes brought by industrialization. These spaces could be widened streets, town forests, parks, or other civic improvements that specifically addressed one or more perceived problems facing an industrialized society. The projects planned and produced by Charles S. Bird Jr. and city planner John Nolen in the small town of Walpole, Massachusetts exemplify the application of restorative spaces. Specifically, through an examination of the plans for the 1914 Neponset Garden Village, the 1916 establishment of the Walpole Town Forest, and the 1925 creation of Francis William Park, this paper investigates the rationale behind these spatial reforms. These carefully and pragmatically planned spaces would come to embody the optimism, community emphasis, and the social and political anxieties of Progressive Era reforms. 			History					 Kimberly Jensen 

Both Federalist supporters of the Constitution and Antifederalists who opposed ratification championed such protections. Each faction expressed both misgivings over the concentration of power in unaccountable bodies and apprehension regarding majoritarian impulses. Both camps framed their arguments through a philosophy of Natural Law. The result of this Natural Law synthesis was the Ninth Amendment, which sought to address the reservations of both parties by establishing that the American people retained unenumerated rights. Though scholarship concerning the Ninth Amendment exists in the realm of political science and legal theory, this work expands the historical scholarship on the amendment by addressing its Natural Law context and assessing the amendment's legacy of recognizing and protecting unenumerated rights. 			History					 Christopher Cocoltchos 

Why was this struggle so violent? By investigating the violent colonization techniques used by the French military which resulted in 850,000 Algerian deaths and the French social and political policies that placed the Algerians at the bottom of the social hierarchy, this thesis shows how the actions by the French during the colonial era led to the rise of Algerian resistance movements. This would eventually cause the violence in the French-Algerian War in order for the “last to become the first.” 			History					 Patricia Goldsworthy-Bishop 

In that same year the 36th governor of California, Pete Wilson, was running for re-election against his democratic opponent. A ballot initiative was put forward called Proposition 187 by the state legislature. This proposed proposition was introduced as the “Save Our State” initiative to prohibit undocumented immigrants from using non-emergency health care, public education, and other social services through citizenship screening. This law was in effect for three days as it was blocked by an injunction in court and it was never fully enforced as it was later declared unconstitutional; however, it demonstrated an entire state’s willingness to target a subset of the population that’s purpose was to separate Hispanics socially, economically, and physically from the white population. The motivations to approve this law did indeed have a racist element; however, it was only one irrational fear of immigrants among other more important factors such as nativism, economic difficulties, and politics. This thesis challenges the notion that Proposition 187 was passed because of solely racial motivations to recognizing the more significant factors that led to its overwhelming support by Californians and how it was used for political gain. Proposition 187 and Pete Wilson’s campaign became synonymous and demonstrates how a minority can be used as a scapegoat for political gain by preying on concerns of crime and the economy rooted in nativism. 			History					 John L.

Many scholars argue that religion influenced the group the most, but an analysis of their leaflets and correspondences highlights the influence that Friedrich Nietzsche had on the organization. Members of the White Rose, particularly Hans and Sophie Scholl, solidified their commitment to opposing Nazism by reading and discussing Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche’s ideas shaped the foundational beliefs of the White Rose, including their belief that Germans could no longer ignore the crimes of the Nazi State. From 1942 to 1943, the White Rose anonymously distributed leaflets in Germany in an attempt to reach out to the German people and open their eyes to Nazi atrocities. By analyzing these leaflets, as well as journal entries and letters from the Hans and Sophie Scholl, it becomes quite evident that Nietzsche’s ideas on the “Good and Evil Dichotomy”, the “Herd Mentality”, the “Higher Man”, and “The Shadows” are prevalent within the organizations writings. Through these ideas the White Rose attempted to use their leaflets to empower the German people to see where Hitler fit in the “Good and Evil Dichotomy”, break from the “Herd Mentality”, find their “Higher Man”, and escape from the suffocating grasp of “The Shadows” to free not only themselves, but Germany as a whole. 			History					 David Doellinger 

The fall of Catholicism as the official religion of France, however, did not stop religion as an central component for political power. The creation of new religious groups and thought produced a secularized revolutionary religion, the “Cult of the Supreme Being,” Which increased political power by using liturgical rites and festivals to gain popularity with the French public. With Napoleon’s rise to power in a coup d'etat in 1799 , the Napoleonic Empire continued the political trend of using religion for power with Napoleon’s alliance with the Catholic Church, which politically validated his claim to power. Despite the existence of three very different and distinct political entities from pre-revolutionary France through the Napoleonic Empire, the French state depended upon religion and its liturgical structures for the consolidation of political power through the use of religious ceremonies and language. 			History					 Patricia Goldsworthy-Bishop 

From the fifth to ninth century, Ireland’s learned elite began to be converted to Christianity and created the early monastic settlements that shaped how Christianity was introduced. The interactions between the early Irish monastic founders and the pre-Christian Irish influenced the ways in which early monasteries were established and why Christianity was introduced the way it was. By establishing the Christian faith on the basis of Irish learning, the early church worked with the learned men to establish a written vernacular language and develop an education system. This paper explores the way in which those education centers produced Irish myths, hagiographies and illuminated manuscripts, preserving the pre-Christian past within the Christian era. Ultimately, the two cultures adapted to each other, through varying levels of incorporation regarding different aspects of society, creating a culture which was both Christian and native to Ireland. 			History					 Patricia Goldsworthy-Bishop 

The motif of the talking severed head that appears in both the genres of Celtic folklore and hagiography produced during the latter half of the Anglo-Saxon period in Britain can give insight to both medieval conceptualizations of the body and developing ideals of kingship in Britain. Other qualities attributed to severed heads in both Celtic folklore and medieval religious writing, such as lack of decay, demonstrate the presence of divine power that has remained in the head after episodes of decapitation. This association of divinity, as well as the similar protective purpose of the severed heads in each genre, reflects the shifting ideals of kingship at this time in Britain. Although the consideration of these two genres together has caused much debate in past scholarship, the broader knowledge gained by careful comparison of the qualities, symbolism, and roles of severed heads both mythology and hagiography reveals foundational concepts of Anglo-Saxon society that provide context for future historical study. 			History					 Elizabeth Swedo 

The English crown implemented a series of policies aimed at centralizing monarchical rule over the American colonies in order to utilize potential revenue sources from the colonies. Parliament was unwilling to grant the king new taxes, so the monarchy needed to find new sources of revenue to utilize. This research analyzes English trade legislation and English colonial policies as they pertain to the generation of royal revenues and the direct administration of the American colonies. 			History					 Elizabeth Swedo 

The focus of this study is to view the helicopter as a tool of military strategy, more than a piece of hardware. My thesis is that the helicopter enabled the search-and-destroy war waged by American forces against the North Vietnamese forces. This is part of the overarching theme which we see developing in American military history during the post-WWII era: an over reliance on technology to wage wars, often to the neglect of strategy. This article details the adoption of the helicopter by the US Army, explores how air-mobility played a role in the Vietnam War, and ultimately offers perspective on the relationship between technology and strategy in the modern era. 			History					 John L.

It examines how the territories of Bessarabia and Transylvania led Romania to hold negative opinions of the other members of the Warsaw Pact and the Hungarian minority within Romania. In addition, it examines the distrust that cropped up between Romania and the other members of the Warsaw Pact following the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. A mixture of distrust of minorities and the other members of the Warsaw Pact led to the violent government reaction to the 1989 Revolution. 			History

The Nuremberg Laws were composed of three parts. One, the “Reich Citizenship Law” revoked the status of Jews as legal citizens and created the framework the Nazis would use to persecute by defining what it meant to be German or Jewish; later the laws were expanded by the Nazis to label minorities as non-German citizens. The “Laws of the Protection of Hereditary Health” stated that anyone the Nazis deemed as carrying inheritable diseases would be forced to undergo sterilization. The “Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor” outlawed marriage between Germans and Jews. These laws established a foundation for a eugenics program that the Nazi doctors performed on inmates in T-4 centers and later in concentration camps from 1939 to 1945. 			History					 Patricia Goldsworthy-Bishop 

More popularly known as Lord Haw-Haw, Joyce, an American-born British Fascist, raised in Ireland and England who came to embrace Nazism, moved to Germany in 1939 where he was employed as the English voice of Hitler’s vision.
Utilizing archival materials gathered from dozens of newspapers of the period and historiographical contributions from authorities on the subject, this study follows British public reaction to Joyce from his earliest broadcasts to his eventual capture, trial and execution by hanging in 1946.
While vehemently anti-Semitic, and the to the British a reprehensible traitor, his broadcasts were never shown to have inflicted any substantial damage to the Allied war effort, hence the continuing controversy surrounding his execution.
While this paper does not offer moral or ethical conclusions regarding Joyce’s career and eventual conviction, it does invite the reader to consider this particular case and its broader implications concerning political and judicial decisions as influenced by war and its aftermath. 			History					 John L.

These women were the unacknowledged strength within their societies. Through an examination of the culture that surrounded female Vikings in pre-Christian Iceland, historians present a more thorough understanding of the roles that these women played. This is especially evident in the study of female influences employed within pre-Christian Icelandic society. The women of Viking Age Iceland exercised power through their management of household and familial interactions, maintaining influence within a publicly male-dominated society. 			History					 John L.

Despite the confidence the British government felt while backing up the Act, there has been plenty of evidence to show that the spread of disease actually increased while the Act was in place, and declined sharply after the repeal in the late 19th Century. Many different organizations were created to put a stop to the unfair treatment against women, such as the Woman’s Club and the protests put on by Josephine Butler, despite the fact that the women were known or suspected prostitutes. This paper will explain how discriminatory the Acts were towards the citizens of Natal Africa, India, and the British Isles, more specifically the women who lived in these places. The Contagious Diseases Act was designed to aid in the health and well-being of the colonial population from these specific countries. The creation of the Contagious Diseases Act was contrived to address the health of the British soldiers rather than the women who were being infected as well. As a consequence, the Act also blurred the lines between social classes and racial domesticity in the British Isles, which will be addressed throughout this thesis. 			History					 David Doellinger 

Castles and leadership in the Welsh Marches did indeed change, yet the economy continued to be fluid and semblances of nationalism scholars attribute to the last half of the eleventh century have been distorted. While a glimpse of the countryside and a history book will shout the word "CASTLES", there is more to the Norman arrival, to the people who lived in the region of the Welsh Marches, and to the Welsh, than simply the construction of new castles. Aspects such as the day to day lives of the inhabitants, the economic impact, the social structure, and the concept of nationalism in the Welsh Marches cannot be assumed to change based only upon the concept that with new overlords comes change to all aspects of life. The relevance of this endeavor is to better understand life in the Welsh Marches rather than attach the epithet "change" to what occurred with the arrival of the Normans, accomplished through analysis of surviving chronicles and administrative records as well as current scholarship done on the region. 			History					 David Doellinger 

Eberhardt was born in Geneva in 1877 and died in Algeria in 1904, her life and writings are important because they demonstrate the ways in which she and other Europeans interacted within the context of gender and race in the colonies. These expectations were both formally and informally expressed in the colonies and Europe itself, and include traditional dress, creating a traditional European household which included marrying another European, keeping the social hierarchy, and promoting European moral codes. The lifestyles of women, like Isabelle Eberhardt, came as a result of a new liberation. For many women the colonies provided many freedoms that were not available to women in Europe. These liberations included access to the new religion, culture, and a new social freedom which can be seen in the mobility both socioeconomically and physically that the colonies permitted. For Eberhardt, her complicated family life allowed her to act however she wished to in Algeria and other European women could travel throughout the country without being stopped and have access to different cultures and religions that the women in Europe did not enjoy. 			History					 David Doellinger 

Even in the face of constant harassment and repression, Mohamed Bouazizi was a compassionate man. He chose to react with violence on no one but himself in response to the harassment he had experienced all his life. Having used every channel of complaint available to him and receiving no respite from his woes, Mohamed Bouazizi self immolated. Social networks are not a new thing, but the addition of social media to social networks is, and the incredibly visual image of his burning as well as video of violent reaction from security forces on the very first protests by his friends and family were uploaded to Twitter and Facebook and told the story in an almost minute by minute accounting of the beginnings of a revolution. Without the social media component there would not have been a Tunisian revolution for there would have been no Twitter to upload a photo to, nowhere to share the picture that was taken of Bouazizi’s self immolation. Like no other revolution before it social media was the tipping point, and the peaceful Tunisian uprising that began as a small protest in the city of Sidi Bouzid had begun. 			History					 David Doellinger 

Concerning American foreign policy throughout its history, two overall camps have formed; one sides with identifying imperialistic tendencies on the part of America and the other argues this is overblown, even nonsense. One flash point is the Monroe Doctrine and its implications, with the former camp using it as a case study for early American imperialism and the other arguing it was created to defend American interests and ideals, while attempting to prevent European encroachment in the Western Hemisphere. When looking at the Doctrine after its original declaration, an argument can be made of its use in America’s expansion of influence, particularly during the early twentieth century (i.e., the Roosevelt Corollary). In regards to the actual Doctrine however, this is a fairly myopic view, totally discounting the time in which the Monroe Doctrine was written and declared to the world, which was very defensive and idealistic in nature. This reasoning can be supported with several points. The Founders, including President Monroe, had broken away from an imperial power and were against imperialism. Europe was in the midst of great upheaval, still recovering from the Napoleonic Wars and threatening liberal institutions. Latin America was aflame in revolution, shaking off the yolk of Spain, potentially finding Europe back at their doorstep. There was plenty of reason for the Monroe cabinet to feel defensive, rather than imperial, about American ideals and interests leading up to 1823. 			History					 David Doellinger 

Scholars seek to define the medieval woman as either empowered or oppressed, and within the medieval timeframe, as either more or less so than their predecessors. The year 1066 is seen as a turning point by many for the female narrative; it was the year of the Norman Conquest, which brought with it new schools of thought and manners of life. Rather than attempting to qualify the lives of women as either good or back, the question of medieval women can be approached by asking how they were able to navigate their lives and the changing world around them. This is best examined through the lives of queens because they are the most visible from an historical standpoint. Conquest mentality from the point of view of the conquered forced queens to become more active in the shaping of their identities for political survival and success. Through the lens of conquest, which reveals and sharpens this pattern, Queens Emma, Edith, and Mathilda II were all able to shape their own identities, but because of the uncertainty of conquest, their identities were also shaped for them by others. 			History					 David Doellinger 

After being scattered across the American frontiers for decades, the U.S. Army’s infantry, by far the largest branch, was consolidated into one solid division within the 5th corps in 1862. Instead of being separated from each other and having to rely on themselves for support, they now fought as never before, with approximately 10,000 men of the regulars fighting as one, providing a dramatic contrast to the 90,000 volunteers enrolled in the Army of the Potomac. Professional soldiers fighting and dying together, a solid core and reserve for the rest of the army to form around and take inspiration from, an inspiration that would give us an apocryphal quote from a 5th corps volunteer: “For two years the regulars showed us how to fight like soldiers, in the Wheatfield at Gettysburg they showed us how to die like soldiers.” 			History					 David Doellinger 

Contrary to popular belief Napoleon did more than just conquer much of Europe; he left a lasting impression on the world beyond his military prowess. Napoleon will not be examined as a warrior, but rather this thesis will deal with Napoleon as a man who changed the world. This thesis attempts to debunk the widely held notion of Napoleon as solely a military leader, or a simple emperor. It brings to light Napoleon’s involvement in France, and upon the world, that ensured Napoleon a lasting legacy. This lasting legacy was not built solely by Napoleon’s military career, but also by the politician from within. This thesis shows Napoleon’s diversity, as he should be known for something more than just a warlord. Most importantly it gives depth to Napoleon and the events that he partook in that otherwise would be meaningless military achievements to people of the Common Era. 			History					 David Doellinger 

This modest timber region grew from its humble origins as a shelter for the castaway sailors of the military ship Captain Lincoln2 to its coming of age at the end of World War II as the purported “lumber capital of the world.” In between this nearly hundred year period (1851-1946) the Coos Bay region experienced the pains of being blessed with abundant natural resources, in addition to succumbing to the corporate capitalist greed that surrounded and exploited every thriving timber village that aspired to be more than simply the dependents of profit-hungry investors. 			History					 David Doellinger 

In the aircraft industry alone planes were built at such an alarming rate that manufacturers were rolling pursuit aircraft (P) or fighters, and bombers (B) at one an hour to a total of 13,738 P-40’s, 14,686 P-51’s, 12,692 B-17’s just to name a few. The Air Force2 needed skilled pilots to fly them from manufacturing plant to various Air Force bases. One group of pilots that would assists in this ferrying venture was the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs). From 1942 through 1944 these women in training and knowledge, were equal to their male counterparts. Their ability to ferry any aircraft that was manufactured came because of two enterprising women, Jacqueline Cochran and Nancy Love. Even though these two women had an important part in getting the WASPs off the ground, the key ingredient to the success of the WASPs was their military training. During the twenty-four months that the WASPs were operating, they went through various training changes. At first because of the large amount of flying hours required the first set of women had only minimal military training depending on their experience. Then in 1943 the demand for more pilots reduced the required flying time for WASP applicants thus implementing a military structured training school just as the men. This revamped training included a ground school that included theory of flight, engines, navigation and instruments plus other subjects. They also had to increase their flying time on military aircraft starting with primary trainers (PT), then to basic trainers (BT), and finish with advanced trainers (AT). This additional training meant that the women would be in training for approximately four months to seven and a half depending on the time of entry to training. Because of this training the WASPs would be the equivalent of their male counterparts in ability to handle military aircraft. However not all writers chose to concentrate on training when writing about the WASPs. 			History					 David Doellinger 

Unfortunately on the night of April 14, 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank early the next morning, losing many lives. The loss of life made Titanic one of the worst maritime accident in history. Originally having over 2,200 passengers and crew on board only about 700 survived; most of the survivors being from the upper class. Press from all over the United States covered the story to inform people of what had happened. Newspapers such as the East Oregonian, Morning Oregonian, and the Oregon City Enterprise, explained the event in a perspective that there was a greater loss in the first class because of the elite men that did not survive the sinking. Newspapers addressed many heroic acts done by the first class men on the night of the sinking that gave the society the impression that they went down with the ship in honor and as true gentlemen. The media coverage of the sinking depicts the economic and political elites who went down with the ship in a heroic manner and portrayed them as it was their honor and duty to sacrifice themselves in order to save women and children. 			History					 David Doellinger 

Oregon’s upper and middle classes perceived themselves as the moral, and intellectual ideal in a time of transition and destabilization of American society following the Civil War and leading up the Progressive era. Many of which saw education reform as their responsibility. These perceptions coupled with racism and classism to transform positive intentions into conditions of paternalistic control and resulted in many communities having to cope with an education system pulled out of their hands over a relatively short time period. Using primary source materials, including newspapers, letters, and government documents, this paper looks to recreate the dialogue and analyze the true nature of the reforms through a number of different community perspectives, including: Native Americans, African Americans and rural Oregonians. The argument fits into the wider educational history to help understand how U.S education developed into its current manifestation. 			History					 Max Geier 

The Dam symbolized a break from traditional irrigation methods that had sustained people in the Nile River Valley for millennia and symbolized a new era of international relations for Egypt. Successors of the Aswan Low Dam have included a number of alterations to the original and the construction of the Aswan High Dam seven km upriver in the 1960s. The Aswan High Dam has garnered much attention from critics of modernization theory, environmentalists and proponents of the Dam alike. However, much of the social and environmental issues that are debated in the historical discourse surrounding the Aswan High Dam were present throughout the history of its antecedent. Understanding the social and environmental issues involved with the construction of the first Aswan Dam provides an example of the potential impacts of large-scale environmental programs on the people who inhabit the areas where they are pursued. Ultimately, the construction of the Aswan Low Dam was the product of British colonial administrators, informed by Orientalist and modernist biases, whose predilections of the value of damming the Nile left them overlooking the social and environmental impacts of this engineering project, which would be repeated sixty years later and continue to have implications for the people who inhabit the Nile River Valley and surrounding bioregion. 	 Cook, Travis.

Both of these policies benefited urban and industrial Americans, where public shelters were common and evacuation routes could move the population out of a city. For rural Americans, however, these polices demanded that they took a more active approach to civil defense. Rural landscapes were often designated as gathering centers for urban evacuees, and farmers were expected to provide their urban neighbors with food and shelter. Likewise, private instead of public fallout shelters promoted to rural Americans to take on a personally responsible for the protection of their family, crops, and livestock from nuclear fallout. This paper will analyze the rural civil defense policies established by the federal government and the ways that rural regions in the Midwest and Northwest incorporated these policies into their state and local civil defense measures. 	 Claussen, Kate.

It also looks at the problem of illegitimacy and the problems for children born out of wedlock to establish paternity under the Civil Code of 1854. Both secular and Catholic orphanages prepared children for domestic work. Importantly as well, the study examines the roll of women in the Chilean labor movement. 	 Cook, Travis.

Whereas prominent United States anthropologists often evidenced negative attitudes toward these religions, the French presented a much more positive perspective. These new attitudes created an environment for greater tolerance to religions formerly persecuted. 	 Teal-Cribbs, Brittney L. "Afro-Brazilian Religious Suppression in 1920s and 1930s Rio de Janeiro."

When European male writers were not permitted access into the part of Eastern households known as harems, they became suspicious and wrote sexualized descriptions of harems in their travelogues, based on Western hegemonic views and male fantasy. These claims refuted by European women who were permitted into the harems and wrote their own, more accurate observations. Their writings evolved into harem literature and became a women-dominated genre. However, while dispelling the male sexualized fantasy of harems, the women’s writings had a tendency to promote other concepts of Western constructed Orientalism, centering on the perceived repression of Eastern women. European women focused on perceived repressions of Eastern women by their men, and ironically seemed unable (or unwilling) to see their own repression and the hypocrisy constructed by the men of their own Western culture.
European women also infused their own fantasies back into Eastern travel literature, which originated from the stories from Arabian Nights. These fantasies of the magical Orient were the bridge between travel/harem literature and what was to become the desert romance novel in the early 20th century. These novels, while entertaining and sexually liberating to women at that time, continued to promote stereotypes of latent Orientalism and objectify Western women as well. 	 Huddleston, Diane M.

Participation by both sides in the German hip-hop scene has created a type of transculturation in which aspects of both cultures are preserved. Hip-hop was first transformed in Germany by white artists whose lyrics more closely resembled traditional soft rock. Today, the immigrant populations have appropriated this uniquely German form of hip-hop to discuss deeper issues of race, poverty and violence that transcend racial stereotypes. 	 Teal-Cribbs, Brittney L.

At this time Egypt was still ruled by the Mamluks who served under the Sublime Porte of the Ottoman Empire with little to no interference from the far away Porte. As explained by Jeremy Black, neither the Directory nor Napoleon were overly concerned with making enemies of the dying Ottoman Empire: “Napoleon assumed that the Turks could be intimidated or bribed into accepting the French invasion…”1 . This adverse view of the Porte demonstrates the typical Western behavior and stereotypes towards Muslims and Middle Easterners as weaker than or less than European powers. The French invasion of Egypt cemented already prevalent stereotypes in both the Middle East and the West into the modern era. These stereotypes alongside the Porte’s inability to protect Egypt from invasion “proved” to the West that they were easily able to take territory from the Ottoman Empire and framed this imperialism as re-building civilization that lapsed under Ottoman rule. France’s attempt to colonize Egypt would ultimately fail due to Napoleon’s deplorable actions in Egypt and his false claim to authority despite no military support coming from the Directory (as a result of the blockade set into place by the British and Porte alliance). 								 Elizabeth Swedo 

The examination of the NSDAP is due to the lack of conversation about the NSDAP during the 1920s. In this paper, it will examine this growth of the NSDAP, by analyzing primary sources of Nazi propaganda, agendas, and the Beer Hall Putsch as well as its subsequent trial due to its failure. The NSDAP became the stage of Nazism in Germany, over time becoming the Nazi Party society knows today; furthermore, they used social activist tactics, and revolution to gain public support eventually seized power of the government in 1933. The importance of this research is to show how a political party can use social activism as a force of change but not necessarily as a force for good. Furthermore, it is to give an understanding to why the Germans in the 1920s were slowing be persuaded to support the NSDAP overtime, by evaluating how people may be persuaded to join a radical party due to economical and national problems with their state. Therefore, when we see political parties in our day, we need to evaluate their motives and agenda. 								 Elizabeth Swedo 

This view of Stalin’s role in Soviet history has proven incorrect in many respects since the fall of the Soviet Union and the opening up of Soviet archives to scholars around the world. The event that most demonstrated the lack of homogeneity within the Soviet government and the persistence of resistance to Stalin’s complete authority is the forced collectivization of agriculture. Soviet collectivization was an ambitious plan and for Stalin one of the most controversial policy initiatives he would pursue. Ultimately, the documentary record reveals that the agricultural policies that Stalin endorsed, which led to full scale collectivization, were not the product of a monolithic government ran by Stalin, but rather were contested at nearly every stage of development from 1928 through 1934. 	 Cook, Travis. “Stalin, Party of One? : A Look at Domestic Political Resistance to Stalin’s Collectivization Policies.” Paper presented at the Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Regional Conference, Portland, Oregon, April 4-6, 2013. 							 John L.

The introduction presents an outline of the concept of wilderness in the American West, with particular attention to the role of the government in defining wilderness. The relationship of John Muir with the Roosevelt administration is described in reference to the city of San Francisco and its successful requisitioning of the Hetch Hetchy watershed. The argument is made that although an ideal of wilderness devoid of human contact has been promoted by preservationists, the role of humans play in the realm of wilderness cannot be discounted. Attempts to segregate wilderness and human activity, although intended to protect diversity of life, have in fact been part of a project which essentially and ultimately has led to environmental degradation and diminishing diversity. Traditional concepts of wilderness must be modified, incorporating more human participation, if the trends toward increasing degradation and diminishing diversity is to be slowed. Monumental projects reintroducing modern society to the biosphere must be launched in order to move beyond wilderness. 	 Morton, Duke. “ Beyond Wilderness.” Paper presented at the Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Regional Conference, Spokane, Washington, April 12-14, 2012. 							 Max Geier 

Ihad worked with my students at local churches and schools that were looking for creative outlets,but whose parents could not afford to have them participate in local theatres or choirs. I alsoencountered teachers, pastors and other working adults whose work schedules would not allow
them the flexibility to participate with local programs. The goal was to raise enough money for the production that cast members would not have to pay dues to be apart of it, and coordinate the schedule so that busy adult s with careers could also participate. This was going to be a significant challenge, but after raising money in the fall and securing a couple of churches with open schedules, I felt that I had a realistic and measurable goal that I could accomplish over the
period of a couple of months. 			eng

In our project, we wanted to create awareness to motivate high school students to continue their education, especially undocumented students. We are very passionate about human rights and are strong believers in equal opportunity which is why we wanted to focus our project on education. We wanted to combine our passions and motivate those high school students who believe they do not have a chance or do not have the right tools or support to apply for college. One of our goals was to provide resources to high school students, giving them first hand advice from current first generation college students, and assisting them with seeking scholarship opportunities. Our plan was to create an open workshop at a high school and share our resources. We also planned on doing a family workshop so families can attend and learn about our survey results. Throughout our project, we encountered several hurdles. However, the results that we collected influenced us to create a video where we can share with high school programs. This video can be used as a resource for high school students and families in the future. 

One of the churches in a CaN Center. This is a church sponsored after school program in collaboration with Salem Leadership Foundation. I did approach each of the nonprofits with my ideas of intentionally engaging this particular neighborhood’s families through community based events. Each church is supportive and willing to meet for a combined potluck. When I began my project, I first consulted with my advisor and strategically began with a system in mind to really evaluate all participant’s learning. My shortsightedness is that my measurement tool is centered around actually getting the three, non-profit congregations together for a pot-luck. This gathering is scheduled to happen on June 11th, 2017. 

We will place all the helpful tools we’ve received from meetings, mentors, clubs, etc. in one insightful presentation which we can follow up with one to one mentoring. We want to be that source of insight that we wished we could’ve had back when we were younger; it only takes one person to propel a student into higher education. 

Safe transportation has become a great challenge in most local and urban communities in Nepal due to the poor infrastructural equipment available. Over the years, the people living within and around the mountains have experienced tremendous difficulty in crossing the flooded rivers to various destinations including schools and workplaces. The lack of appropriate and safe means of going over the dangerous rivers has resulted in increased suffering and developmental challenge for the local population. The main concentration of this research is to outline and analyze a research project conducted in the region to determine solutions to the lingering transport problem. The current government has made efforts to mitigate the problem and risks that people face in trying to cross the mountainous terrain to various destinations. One of the development ideas has been the tween, which has proved very risky especially for children, women and the older adults. The focus of this research undertaking was, therefore, to establish a safer means of transport across the hills that would promote education, health and give the people new development prospects. The innovative idea would involve installation of a suspension bridge to help the residents of Gorkha Huldingbesi district to access services such as education, medical facilities and work in Dhading district. The suspension bridge will provide a financially viable and safe transport for the communities to make gainful interaction to develop education, health and general standards of living. 

Personal health and wellness is a huge part of my life. I share my passion through the fitness classes I teach, working at the Health and Wellness Center, and studying Exercise Science with a minor in Health. Being a part of a college campus gym setting, I witness many students struggle to move out of their comfort zone. With no personal trainers on staff, students are left to experiment with weights, machines, and other exercise routines which may cause an injury, or give up all together because they feel discouraged. A need exists for a systematic program of fitness instruction that is available to all interested students. I strongly believe by providing resources to students they may feel more comfortable in the gym setting, and be more inclined to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Teaching students to live in good health while in college is important. It will hopefully promote a better quality of life after school. Major health implications due to lifestyle is a huge issue in our country. We can help prevent this by educating our students through private mentors for more individualized assistance with their health fitness goals. 

There are two main hypotheses for how animals detect Earth-strength magnetic fields. One hypothesis is that animals use magnetite, which forms long chains and serves as a magnetic dipole, while the other hypothesis is that animals have a light-dependent magnetic response utilizing cryptochrome. Several studies have found that Drosophila can orient to Earth-strength magnetic fields using a mechanism consistent with a cryptochrome-based magnetoreceptor, but the specifics of the findings have varied. For example, two studies found that Drosophila have an innate directional preference, while two studies found that Drosophila need to be trained in order to have a directional preference. Additionally, one study found that only male flies orient to magnetic fields, while the other studies found that both male and female flied orient to magnetic fields. To help resolve the conflicting results of these studies, we aimed to determine if Drosophila melanogaster have an innate directional preference and if orientation differs between males and females. We used a sequential Y-maze housed within a Faraday cage, the purpose of which was to block out any radio frequency (RF) fields that mat affect the choices of the flies. 			Biology					 Michael Baltzley;Kristin Latham 

We are attempting to determine whether Drosophila have the ability to detect Earth-strength magnetic fields by running flies through a progressive Y-maze and then selectively breeding the flies based on their choices in the maze. There are two main hypotheses about the mechanism of magnetoreception in animals. The first is based on the use of magnetite, which forms long chains and serves as a magnetic dipole and has been found in organisms such as bats7. The other hypothesis is based on a light-dependent magnetic response utilizing the cryptochromephotoreceptor8. While the predominant hypothesis is that fruit flies use cryptochrome to detect magnetic fields1-6, experimental results have shown that most invertebrates use magnetite or both magnetite and cryptochrome. 			Biology					 Michael Baltzley;Kristin Latham 

Texting is a unique form of communication because it uses written language to emulate aspects of spoken language through the usage of textisms – emoticons, abbreviations, acronyms, and more. It is these textisms that have been the cause of much hysteria and concern over the future of the English language, and most of the focus has been put on the biggest proponents of texting: young people. This senior thesis reviews the history of standardization in writing and research on texting to investigate the linguistic purpose and function of textisms. I surveyed members of my community to learn patterns in usage of and attitudes toward texting with a focus on demographics and claims against texting, with the goal to assert that texting is an incredibly innovative form of language that enhances, rather than degrades, English. 			 Honors Program 		 Cornelia Paraskevas | Gavin Keulks 

It has multiple parts and is taught throughout the year at every grade level. Thus far, I had very little writing instruction from a teacher's perspective. We took science and geography classes to learn much more than we would ever teach in the classroom. We learned the ins and outs of linguistics and language acquisition, so that we could better understand the process of reading and writing. Due to this knowledge, I am better prepared as a teacher because I can approach education from a vantage point in the subject, rather than learning the material as I teach it. I want to teach writing from that same high vantage point. The purpose of this research is to see writing from the perspective of a writer, not just a student or educator. What factors do writers take into account? How do real writers write, outside of school standards? How does the writing process look when it's used i n an authentic way, not the processed steps it is often taught in? This is what I explored, so that I could teach writing from a more authentic perspective. 			 Honors Program 		 Scott Carter | Gavin Keulks 

This project will particularly focus on trying to achieve this goal at Western Oregon University, making it so more students will continue pursuing their degree at WOU. As a Western Oregon University alum, I have first-hand experience with recognizing the need for a program that Western can offer to students. Due to the common retention goal amongst the collegiate world, there is a plethora of information that discusses the psychology surrounding why students are hard to retain - this dissertation will only cover the information that directly relates to the community, geography, and population that is most similar to Monmouth, Oregon. We will start by discussing current and recent past practices that WOU has proposed to retain students, we will also examine what another university, Eastern Washington University, which is a peer institution to WOU and what their current methods/data on retention techniques are, then we will discuss the data dilemma that may cause lack of true information that could impact how well techniques are doing. At the end of this discussion, you will be able to view a PowerPoint that goes over the details of a newly developed pilot program named, “Wolfie Round-up''. I have composed this pilot program to have a sole focus on achieving a higher retention rate for Western Oregon University in conjunction with other methods that WOU is current by providing Western students with more accessible resources, informational sessions that allow new and current students to have a personal relationship with different members of the WOU community, and 4 specifically identify most aspects that the university has to offer that their students can take advantage of during their time. 			 Honors Program 		 Megan Habermann-Guthrie | M.S. | Gavin Keulks 

The Pre-Raphaelites rebelled against established artistic styles and methods, seeking instead to accurately depict nature and create art that conveys profound intellectual and spiritual ideas through its literary and religious themes. This project focuses particularly on William Holman Hunt, one of the founding members of the group, and argues that there exist important connections between his worldview, which is defined and discussed, and his art, of which three paintings are analyzed. The present work also examines the Pre-Raphaelites' influence on nineteenth-century British art by outlining the popular styles of the time and comparing these to the Pre-Raphaelites' work and principles. As evidenced in the work of their contemporaries and later artists, this small group of avant-garde artists transformed the art of their own era and beyond. 			 Honors Program 		 Michael Freeman | Gavin Keulks 

Making this personal investment may be life-changing, which is why it is so important that one take the decision making process to attend college seriously. This study sought to investigate how and why students decide to pursue an undergraduate college degree. Undergraduate students were surveyed with a series of questions in hopes of acquiring a better understanding of what factors they take into account in their decision making process. The hypothesis was that students do not engage in a comprehensive college decision making process as they should. Results indicated that most students believe to have dedicated an appropriate amount of time and effort investigating their options and making the decision to pursue a college degree. Implications of this study suggest that most students are satisfied with their decision to attend college; however, a low percentage of the undergraduate students surveyed considered alternatives to attending college right after graduating high school. Further and refined research studies are proposed. 			 Honors Program 		 Dean Braa | Gavin Keulks 

This review examines the current debate of STEM vs STEAM in primary educational settings and the lack of scientific literacy in the United States today, as well as important research on how art can combat public disinterest in scientific research and policy. It discusses the importance of science based art, and the renewal of artistic and scientific collaboration. The artists statement and explanation will review the process of taking a scientific publication and creating three art pieces: a visual art piece, a written art piece, and a movement art piece, all based on the publication “Jellyfish extract induces apoptotic cell death through the p38 pathway and cell cycle arrest in chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cells”. 			 Honors Program 		 Karen Haberman | Gavin Keulks 

These critics stated that the riots had been begun by transgender women of color and Emmerich’s film made it appear that a white cisgender man started the riots. This papers determines if these criticisms were justified by reviewing historical accounts of the Stonewall Inn and riots, studying notable people associated with the riots, and analyzing the film itself. These findings are then analyzed through a queer theory lens to determine the message of Stonewall. It was ultimately determined that while Stonewall did have a number of inaccuracies, it did not necessarily warrant all the criticism it received. 			 Honors Program 		 CM Hall | Gavin Keulks 

A communicative approach to language teaching involves using authentic language from the very beginning of instruction, presenting real or at least plausible language tasks, and focusing on use of language not on specific grammatical function. What this tends to mean for a classroom is much less time spent on explicit grammar instruction and more time spent on students “getting their hands dirty” and exploring the language for themselves. For all the shifting away from constant grammar lessons in second language teaching, there is still a time when some of the fine inner workings of grammar must be explained. This type of grammar instruction requires that teachers and students engage in “metalanguage,” the vernacular or language used to talk about language. This is where my project fits into the scheme of second language Spanish instruction. 			 Honors Program 		 David Hargreaves | Gavin Keulks 

It is one register, or specific variation of language characterized by certain types of vocabulary and grammatical structures; others include fiction writing, news writing, spoken language, magazine writing, etc. All of these registers differ both grammatically and lexically. In order to become proficient in a specific type of writing, one must become familiar with using the different rules and guidelines (both spoken and unspoken; the conventions) of that type of writing. For academic writing, which is learned over time, writing growth can be observed in various ways, such as through vocabulary usage, thematic development, use of nominalizations, use of non-finite clauses, use of prepositional phrases, and use of embedded clauses. This growth can be observed over time through a writer increasing in the number of appropriate grammatical choices based on the discipline or style they choose to write in; the more advanced syntax they use, the more they’ve grown in their writing ability. Many of these aspects of writing are difficult for native speakers to grasp, more so for non-native users of English. This is because academic language has to be learned by all- it is no one’s native language. The following project seeks to investigate change and growth in specific areas of academic writing (such as vocabulary, thematic development, lexical density, and reading level) of international students throughout twenty weeks (two terms) and chart their improvement. Further, the study will connect the various aspects of writing growth with self-reported survey data inquiring about the student’s own beliefs on what constitutes good academic writing, and how they feel about their own writing and 5 language growth. This survey allows for connections to be made between the areas in which students produced the most growth and the grammatical features they see as most important. It also allows a glance into their self-confidence when producing their second language, which is a crucial aspect of success in a second language. This project will be based in both quantitative and qualitative data sets and will utilize corpus software and manual analysis. 			 Honors Program 		 Cornelia Paraskevas | Gavin Keulks 

One effective method of this is to use children’s storybooks to expand students’ understanding of each subject. An examination of current examples of storybooks that combine both of these subjects resulted in determining the most effective books which can be used in a classroom setting. This information was used to create a unit for fourth grade students to learn both mathematics and language arts by reading and examining one of the storybooks, then having students their own stories which used their knowledge of fractions. Through this students were able to practice both their language arts skills and their mathematics knowledge at the same time. 			 Honors Program 		 Marie LeJeune | Gavin Keulks 

With federal and state policies written around trying to support adjudication regarding sexual assault, independent task forces created, and entire university departments dedicated towards helping assault survivors, it seems that this problem should be alleviated. Critics argue that university departments are biased and not doing their job in order to protect schools, or that policies are written in order to erase so many experiences from receiving help. Academia looks into the psychological effects of trauma on post-secondary students and analyses endless sets of data in order to find trends related to various policies, yet the same problem seems to keep creeping up. As of yet, there hasn’t been a comprehensive look at how these policies and their affected college departments are connected. This thesis dives into the world of Title IX and sexual assault policy from the lense of sexual assault resource and Title IX staff members on Oregon Public University campuses. Through researching federal and state policies and the guidance that the Oregon Sexual Assault Task Force provides to Title IX and sexual assault resource departments on university campuses, I was able to perform interviews with various staff members about how they are able to implement policies. Through latent thematic analysis of these interviews, I found that Title IX and sexual assault resource departments are severely unsupported and working in a way that is unsustainable. My conclusions lead me to suggest that it is unethical to create policies that focus on trauma without using holistic verbiage and providing necessary and adequate resources. 			 Honors Program 		 Dana Schowalter and Aislinn Addington | Gavin Keulks 

I will be focusing on several different modes of creation, including street art, digital art, comics and cartoons, and installation. Social media is the primary tool for artists working in Syria to distribute their work, so I will also be discussing the importance of social media, both as a means to publish their work and also spread their message. I will answer the following questions: what role does street art and other nontraditional mediums play in the revolution? What are the artists’ purposes and intents when creating such pieces? How is social media relevant to the revolution? The answers to these questions and more will help to legitimize nontraditional arts, not only as examples of art themselves, but also as a means of communication. I hope to shed some light on the Syrian Revolution by looking at the war through the lens of an artist. 			 Honors Program 		 Michael Freeman | Gavin Keulks 

One area of elementary education that can still be advanced is reading, through the integration of phonics to young readers. Reading has been taught in a whole language approach1, but studies suggest that explicit instruction in phonics, which takes advantage of students' phonological awareness, is a better way to teach reading. Although the science of reading (explicit instruction in phonics) has been shown to be beneficial for students, it is still not the common practice across the country. At best, teachers combine explicit phonics instruction with whole language instruction, which is an approach termed balanced literacy. In the project I will investigate the ways in which the Oregon state-adopted textbooks align with the science of reading but also meet the Common Core State Standards, or CCSS, outcomes for reading. In addition, in order to see how reading instruction is enacted in the classroom, I will observe teachers and, if needed, informally interview elementary principals. The final product will be a guidebook for teachers who are not familiar/comfortable with a sense of reading (explicit phonics instruction): it will include foundational concepts on children's phonological development and reading instruction as well as three lesson plans based on best practices recommended by experts in the field. 			 Honors Program 		 Cornelia Paraskevas | Gavin Keulks 

Due to societal stigmatization of heroin addiction, it can be difficult to help the wider community see the need for more effective intervention and prevention efforts. The purpose of this study was to better understand risk factors of dependency by examining the life courses of individuals who have been through addiction, treatment, and are currently in recovery. Early childhood experiences, specifically parental abuse and social rejection, combined with substance abuse as a model for coping, were found to be influential in the development of addiction. Social support and self -awareness during and post -treatment were effective components of sustaining recovery. 			 Honors Program 		 Margaret Manoogian | Gavin Keulks 

Individuals who have shared their experiences with sexual misconduct in the past have been heavily shamed and ridiculed, which prevented a lot of individuals from sharing their experiences, out of a fear of being labeled a liar, or worse. However, sexual assault and harassment are not uncommon in society, and the #MeToo movement allowed the discourse surrounding these issues to be brought to the forefront of society. This thesis sought to analyze the discourse within and surrounding the 2017 #MeToo movement, ignited on Twitter by actor and activist Alyssa Milano. To do this, I developed a comprehensive background to the movement, including a discussion surrounding the concept of consciousness-raising groups and the historical context of such groups. I analyzed select tweets from both Milano and other prominent Twitter accounts from October 15, 2017, which I separated into four key themes. Also included is a discussion surrounding the lack of intersectionality within the movement, and why that is ultimately harmful to the cause. In addition to the inherent importance of speaking out against the occurrences of sexual assault and sexual harassment, this thesis explores the use of social media as digital consciousness-raising groups, with a specific focus on the social media site Twitter. This thesis has determined that Milano was able to create a Twitter consciousness-raising group, as well as discussing how the #MeToo movement represents social media’s contribution to creating social change. 			 Honors Program 		 Dana Schowalter | Gavin Keulks 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from HIV, illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined. The trend in tobacco and smoke-free college campuses is a step towards decreasing the use of these dangerous, habit forming products. Research also shows that there are no safe levels of secondhand smoke, therefore, preventing exposure is a key component to a healthy campus community. Although there are many different reasons for these programs, and many different approaches to implementing these programs, it is important to understand the highlights and the difficulties of these policies on college campuses. This thesis works to explore and explain the positive and negative aspects of college campus tobacco-free policies in the United States while working to highlight and reiterate the dangers of smoking and its effect on the surrounding community via secondhand smoke. 			 Honors Program 		 Siobhan Maty | Gavin Keulks 

Due to their health concerns, they may be vulnerable to elder abuse and neglect. As older adults continue to live longer and the Baby Boomer generation reaches older adulthood, elder abuse will only continue to increase and adversely affect older adults living in both long-term care and home settings. This thesis explores the causes, instances, and interventions of elder abuse in long term settings. Understanding elder abuse and neglect is paramount towards effectively addressing it and creating innovative interventions and preventative strategies. Those who experience elder abuse have many negative health- related outcomes. An examination of the types of abuse and neglect occurring in long term care settings in addition to the risk factors, training practices of employees, and suggested interventions provide a better understanding as well as a foundation for potential interventions supporting older adults as they age with health needs. This exploratory qualitative research study included interviews with five professionals working in settings that have equipped them with an understanding and expertise of elder abuse and neglect in these settings. Results suggest that agency efforts, workplace culture, and resident risk factors greatly affect the occurrence of elder abuse in long-term care settings. These findings revealed areas of improvement and potential pathways towards tackling elder abuse and neglect. 			 Honors Program 		 Margaret Manoogian | Gavin Keulks 

Because of its close proximity to the heart, the aorta must withstand and absorb high pressures. Not surprisingly, one of the most common problems associated with the aorta is due to this high-pressure environment, that being an aortic aneurysm. An aortic aneurysm is a rupture in a portion of the aortic wall that can potentially lead to death. To repair an aortic aneurysm, there are two surgeries, open chest surgery and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), both of which insert stent grafts into the aorta to exclude the aneurysm. Complications can arise from either of these techniques or the stent graft used for repair. An autologous native vessel would be best in mimicking the native aorta, but given the current and near-future research, a biological stent graft could reduce the complications associated with the current procedures and stent grafts. 			 Honors Program 		 Arlene Courtney and Michael LeMaster | Gavin Keulks 

During the 1990’s, U.S. students studying abroad grew from 50,000 in 1985 to 140,000 in 2000. Despite changes in foreign relations and the American economy, the popularity of study abroad has continued to grow (IIE, 2012). Study abroad has been on the rise for many years because it holds many benefits for students. A semester, year, or any segment of time in a different culture can impact a student’s worldview, cultural understanding, and their scope of experience. As this experience has become more common, study abroad has become a topic of interest in the psychology field. Study abroad includes many complex psychological processes; this research will focus on the activity of reentry into one’s home culture as a focal point to examine several of these processes. 			 Honors Program 		 Victor Savicki | Gavin Keulks 

Horseback riding has been suggested to help special needs children and adults connect better with people and help them communicate their needs and wants, not only with people, but with the horses as well. I would want to further confirm the effects that it has on people since it can potentially help particular individuals, such as individuals with autism. Not only can individuals with disabilities benefit from therapeutic horseback riding, but patients recovering post-traumatic stress disorder and other disorders can benefit from this since it can help with communication, fine motor skills, and muscle memory.
This project will include statistics and information on therapeutic horseback riding through the use of many already established therapeutic riding centers to show the effects that this therapy has on its participants.

Close examination of the patterns of behavior, speech, and respective traumas of the main characters in the series was utilized to decipher the regenerative themes presented through each character’s ongoing struggle to overcome their psychological wounds. This thesis introduces ideas about what it means to be human and how one can bear the weight of such an existence. It is my greatest hope that this work influences individuals to reflect on their own experiences in an effort to become more at peace with themselves. By extension, I hope to increase the level of interest in Japanese animation by depicting the degree of intricacy of which this medium is capable. 			 Honors Program 		 Henry Hughes | Gavin Keulks 

Oregon’s Willamette Valley is thick with small farms that grow everything from raspberries to rutabaga, but is locally grown produce worth the hype? Despite this rich agricultural area, many people lack knowledge about the importance of local farms, the ways they operate, and how they can be supported. This project explores what it means to farm small, and whether being small is the same as being environmentally friendly and sustainable long-term. Along with research contrasting conventional, organic, and sustainable farming techniques there are editorials on three local farms, and a handful of recipes that can be made using their produce. 			 Honors Program 		 Mike McGlade | Gavin Keulks 

With the rise of the curtain, you step into the spotlight, inhale a nervous breath, and proceed to interpret the words expressed by the actors you accompany on stage. Honestly, this picture is something not all people in the field of interpreting have been able to experience, but it is something that the author of this paper has only recently learned to be a life changing experience. This paper will explain the process of theatrical interpreting and what it entails to complete an interpretation of a play. To do this, the author will provide a step-by-step process of interpretation that is required for interpreting play. In addition, the author will reflect on a personal experience of going through the theatrical interpreting process for this thesis. This reflection will include a transcript of the interpreted play with translation, an observation of a professional interpretation of the translated play, an interview with two of the interpreters, and a write up of the overall experience. 			 Honors Program 		 Pamela Cancel | Gavin Keulks 

The First World War had disastrous effects on Germany. The volatile conditions of post-war society created many roadblocks to recovery and left millions feeling alienated and disconnected from the newly established democratic government. The Treaty of Versailles was incredibly unpopular and factored into much anti-government propaganda during the interwar years. In my research I analyzed Nazi publications, speeches, and member testimony from 1918-1933 and discuss how the Treaty was politicized by the Party to fit their agenda. I found that the Nazi Party used the Treaty to build their movement by identifying people or groups who had caused Germany’s collapse and to justify the purging of those elements. Through the extreme rhetoric of violence and conflict the Nazi Party also used the animosity toward the Treaty of Versailles to create their own set of cultural values for Germany to rebuild the national community and restore Germany as world power. 			 Honors Program 		 David Doellinger | Gavin Keulks 

Such interiors are used to compelling effect within the bildungsromane of contemporary youth fiction, with the sanctuaries and prisons depicted throughout such novels linked to the various stages of the protagonists' journeys toward self-actualization (i.e., one's realization of, and movement toward, his or her potential). In particular, three popular young adult series combine the hero's journey with literary interiority in highly compelling ways: The Chronicles of Narnia (1950-1956) by C.S. Lewis, the Harry Potter series (1997-2007) by J.K. Rowling, and The Hunger Games trilogy (2008-2010) by Suzanne Collins. The protagonists of these works undergo a transformational journey – the quintessential theme of coming-of-age literature – with the trajectory of their quests definable through the interiors they encounter and the significance of the perceptions regarding both self and community that they gain from their experiences within those interiors. 			 Honors Program 		 Kit Andrews | Gavin Keulks 

Using extensive research, the following writing will address factors such as physical space, flexibility of the classroom, desk arrangement, resources, curriculum, hierarchy of systems, and range of activity/subjects. For example, the proposal will give strategies as simple as switching the arrangement of the room or where the students sit, but also suggest changes to the system of public education as a whole. In our current education system, there is something about the way children are being taught and what they are being taught that is discouraging originality. As a nation, we understand that creative thinking is often difficult to find. My interest in this topic grew from a concern about the lack of emphasis in our classrooms on creativity and its importance. If we cannot value creativity, then we will lose the potential of new ideas and discoveries as well as the ability to use critical thinking and problem solving. These are all essential skills for our society, and they need to be addressed for our upcoming generations. 			 Honors Program 		 Jennifer Schulze | Gavin Keulks 

Written by Bernhard Loesener and Wilhelm Stuckart, the Nuremberg Laws were composed of many parts and this paper will focus on two specific sub-articles. One, the “Reich Citizenship Law” revoked the status of Jews as legal citizens and created the framework the Nazis would use to persecute by defining what it meant to be German or Jewish; later the laws were expanded by the Nazis to label minorities as non-German citizens. The “Laws of the Protection of Hereditary Health” stated that anyone the Nazis deemed as carrying inheritable diseases would be forced to undergo sterilization. The “Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor” outlawed marriage between Germans and Jews. These laws established a foundation for a eugenics program that the Nazi doctors performed on inmates in T-4 centers and later in concentration camps from 1939 to 1945. 			 Honors Program 		 John Rector | Gavin Keulks 

It touches our daily lives and surrounds us more than we even realize. It connects us to others, builds culture, and is appreciated by many. Music has been taught in schools for many years and is a part of many memories of students from elementary school.
Music is full of theory. From the note names and sounds, rhythm and beats, time signature…the list of theoretical aspects goes on and on. Although these components are the measurable forms of music, these are not what people remember and what makes music powerful. It is the combination of all of those components created into a musical song that creates power. The way music makes people feel and what they experience is what sets music apart and makes it a staple in culture.
Our education system is highly influenced by behavioristic theories. Behaviorism tells us that learning is quantifiable and measurable. We see in our education system music being taught and placed under behaviorism, which is not a place that it fits. Music is not based on theory or logic but on emotion and experience. There has been a great deal of research done on the way that we experience the natural world and the ways that these experiences shape us as people. 			 Honors Program 		 Dana Ulveland | Gavin Keulks 

Most commonly we see stories present victims’ irresponsibility along with characteristics of the perpetrator that are inconsistent with societal stereotypes of assaulters. This may influence the public's perceptions of justice and accuracy of the statements made about the crime. The researcher hypothesized that by using paradoxical language around the assaulter and ordering information so victim’s irresponsibility is presented first, there would be lower perceived perpetrator responsibility responses. Participants for this study included seventy undergraduate students at a mid-sized university in the pacific northwest. In Condition A, participants read an article where victims irresponsibility was presented first and included paradoxical language surrounding the perpetrator. In Condition B, the case was presented so that victim testimony and evidence was presented first and lacked any language about the perpetrator’s life outside of the reported assault. After reading one of these framings of the same assault, participants took a short survey designed on a Likert scale to examine perceived perpetrator and victim responsibility along with perceived accuracy and justice of the case. Two of the presented fifteen questions yielded statistical significance. 			 Honors Program 		 Deborah Brannan | Gavin Keulks 

During the same period the diabetes and obesity epidemic ha s emerged and risen to an all -time high. These epidemics are taking large tolls on the individual and on society. The compelling data showing the same upward trend of high fructose corn syrup, type 2 diabetes and obesity can hardly be ignored as many researchers try to uncover the link. Many have stated that the increase in high fructose corn syrup, especially that from soda pop, has lead to the obesity epidemic and from there led to the diabetes epidemic. However, high fructose corn syrup could be directly leading to the diabetes epidemic or the two diseases could be so intertwined that the sweet syrup is causing both to occur. A large extent of research has been done in the area, but no strong evidence has been uncovered to show how the three are related. Much more research, especially on humans in the long -term, is needed to help find more answers. In the mean time, governmental bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the presidential body need to make stronger effort s to reduce the amount of Americans diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or obesity. 			 Honors Program 		 Tom Kelly | Gavin Keulks 

Durham’s Partnership for Children (2016) conducted a study that shows only 46% of parents are reading with their child every day at home. More than half of families are not receiving the benefits of reading with their child that include decreases in behavioral outbursts, increases in fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Researchers have done many in depth studies that isolate and look for specific variables that show the benefits of reading, such as brain scans while viewing books or animations, or measuring the amount of words children know by the time they get to kindergarten, or analysing how intervention with good reading and parenting practices helps children thrive in the aforementioned areas. This project synthesized information from multiple sources and research projects into a brochure for parents to gain a more holistic view of the benefits of reading at home with their children. Taking multiple research papers and translating them from scientific language into everyday language helps parents to quickly read and understand the plethora of benefits their child would receive from being read to and with throughout their adolescence. 			 Honors Program 		 Marie LeJeune | Gavin Keulks 

Prior to discussing contemporary influences it is important to consider antecedent factors. While the entire history of clothing and fashion could be discussed, this work will focus on the most relevant years, the decade that preceded World War I. While this is due in part to its immediate association with the time in question this decade also marked the end of a century-long standstill in the Western fashion industry. Consequently, analyzing just this short period in history provides a depiction of fashion standards in the century before as well. 			 Honors Program 		 Sandra Hedgepeth | Gavin Keulks 

Socioeconomic status (SES) has been explored in terms of art participation but has not been explored in relation to the reception of art. The purpose of the current study was to explore the effects that artist fame and viewer SES have on the rating given to a piece of visual art. I predicted that high SES participants would give higher ratings to high fame artists than low fame artists or with no artist information. For low SES participants, I predicted they would give lower overall scores than those with high SES, and that their highest scores would be for low fame artists. Participants (N = 90) were randomly assigned to one of the three artist fame conditions and rated the same painting on multiple scales. Results did not show any main effects but a trend for an interaction was found between viewer SES and artist fame, such that high SES participants gave their highest ratings to high fame artists while low SES participants gave higher ratings when given no information and to low fame artists than to high fame artists. This trend supports the conclusion that individual differences impact the way in which creative mediums are perceived. 			 Honors Program 		 Jaime Cloud | Gavin Keulks 

They hold a special place in everyone’s childhood, and new discoveries in what they looked like and how they lived and might have behaved are exciting news. It’s more common to come across an article unveiling a new fossil as opposed to novel breakthroughs in understanding the paleobiology of these organisms. Although discoveries in the research field are less widespread than field discoveries and new dig sites, even though the datapool of fossils grows every year, new advances in technology allow for new analytical methods to study these fossils. Researchers are now able to test a wider range of more specific hypotheses. Scientific understanding of dinosaurs and how they lived has not progressed as rapidly as would be expected in the new digital age given the abundance of fossils to study. Paleontology is commonly thought of as digging in the field, piecing bones together in a museum, and analyzing morphological characteristics of bones to describe new species. With the new digital age and the development of many distinctions within helpful fields, such as histology, how people think about paleontology and the ways it’s explored can be expanded from just dig sites to include the laboratory setting where even more discoveries happen. Within the professional world of paleontology, there is a lot of discourse over how the field is changing, integrating new technologies, and adapting to be more efficient to researchers in the future. However, amateurs may not be aware of this discussion.

Many critics, however, have noted large problems in the genre, fueled by themes of homophobia and fear, which hindered rather than advanced normalized queer representation. Since the late 1990s, a growing number of books have worked to eradicate these stereotypes and offer a greater range of possibilities for diversity and celebration of queer identities. This thesis will examine three novels that made large contributions to the advancement of queer representation across the young adult genre. The works are discussed in historical and critical contexts—particularly queer theory— and through my own experiences as a gay man and student of literature. Although these novels are not perfect, I believe each book has made a significant positive contribution to the portrayal of LGBTQ+ identities across young adult literature. 			 Honors Program 		 Henry Hughes | Gavin Keulks 

A majority of adolescents report using social media on a daily basis. With such widespread use, it is important to examine the effects of such usage on mental health. Research has shown that there may be a link between social media usage and mental health complications, such as disordered eating behaviors and anxiety. However, past research has its limitations. Most studies analyze the effects of using older platforms, such as Facebook. Instagram is a newer platform and the largest photo sharing application to date. Little research has examined potential links between using Instagram and the user’s body esteem and disordered eating behaviors. In the current study, participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. The first condition, the control, had participants randomly assigned to watch a short three-minute video of someone browsing the internet. The experimental condition had participants watch a three-minute video of someone scrolling through an Instagram feed with public accounts. There were 12 participants, 9 females and 3 males. The majority of participants were white. Immediately following the viewing, participants answered a body esteem questionnaire. An independent t-test was conducted at the conclusion of the study. The participants who viewed the video of an Instagram feed reported higher levels of body esteem issues (M = 3.99, SD = .26) than those who viewed the THE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE ON DISORDERED EATING BEHAVIORS 4 video of Internet browsing (M = 3.68, SD = .29). The mean differences between the two conditions failed to be significant, t(10) = 1.94, p < .081, r^2 = .27. Considering the large r value, a large effect size exists, but this study did not detect it due to the small sample size. 			 Honors Program 		 Ethan McMahan | Gavin Keulks 

Previous research indicates that information encodes better when presented with rhythm compared to a no-rhythm condition. This suggests that rhythm acts as a mnemonic, or a memory aid. However, across the numerous studies on rhythm and memory, rhythm’s effectiveness on memory retention has not been compared to the effectiveness of more commonly used mnemonics, such as images. The researcher hypothesized that the auditory rhythm condition would produce better working memory recall compared to the visual images condition. Participants for this study included 11 undergraduate students at Western Oregon University. In Learning Condition A, participants learned ten words in Estonian and their associated English meaning, paired with images related to each word shown. In Learning Condition B, participants learned the same list, paired with a rhythm. After a short distraction, participants in both conditions were asked to recall the English meanings. The difference between the two conditions was significant, t(10) = 3.184, p < .05, supporting visuals as the better mnemonic device, leading the researcher to fail to reject the null. Future research should include more participants. 			 Honors Program 		 Melissa Cunningham | Gavin Keulks 

The participants for this study were 26 female and 11 male students (Mage = 22.05 years, SD = 5.00). This study utilized a mixed design. Participants complete d practice GRE questions while being exposed to peppermint, orange, or no scent. Pre and post mood were measured using the Quick Mood Scale (Woodruffe -Peacock, Turnbull, Johnson, Elahi, & Preston, 1998) and task performance was measured based on responses to the GRE questions. Exposure to peppermint and orange was not found to improve the cheerfulness component of mood F (2, 34) =.19, p>.05, ?²=.19, or task performance F (2, 34) =.15, p>.05, ?²=.01. Based on the effect size for this study, aromas could potentially be used in the workplace to improve mood but further research with more participants is needed. 			 Honors Program 		 Chehalis Strapp | Gavin Keulks 

The word list (20 five-letter words) was gathered from braingle.com, a site with numerous memory lists and activities. The independent variable, color, was manipulated between black and a color selected by the participant. The dependent variable was the number of words from the list that the participant could recall. If a significant positive relationship is found between preferential color and the number of words recalled, it would indicate that using a preferential color for studying may yield better tests scores as compared to those who study in the standard black color. The results calculated with a 2 sex x 2 group factorial design revealed no significant difference between the experiment and control groups. 			 Honors Program 		 Joel Alexander | Gavin Keulks 

It was hypothesized that the term “hearing impaired” would elicit a more negative attitude than the terms “deaf”, “hard-of-hearing”, or no label. Thirty Western Oregon University students participated (males=11, females=19; mean age=20.67 years, SD = 2.19). Eleven participants indicated that they had a relationship with someone who is D/deaf or hard-of-hearing, and four students had taken one or more American Sign Language (ASL) courses in the past. Participants read a vignette created by the researcher containing one of the previously mentioned labels associated with deafness, and then completed an Implicit Associations Test to measure implicit bias with regard to deafness (Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998). The results failed to reveal a significant difference between implicit bias of any of the groups, one-way between subjects ANOVA F (3, 26) = .018, p = .997, η² = .002, implying that exposure to deaf-related labels in a vignette likely does not influence implicit attitudes about deafness. 			 Honors Program 		 Chehalis Strapp | Gavin Keulks 

What began as a Beauty Pageant hosted in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall quickly formed into the scholarship organization it is now. From burning bikinis to obtaining a bachelors, Miss America has been the target of criticism and hate. Through this thesis I will use the methods and practices of autoethnography to create a specific analysis of how we view Miss America in relation to feminist theory. When a scholar writes in the form of autoethnography… “they retrospectively and selectively write about epiphanies that stem from, or are made possible by, being part of a culture and/or by possessing a particular cultural identity. However, in addition to telling about experiences, auto ethnographers often are required by social science publishing conventions to analyze these experiences” (Ellis, 2011, sec. 2, par. 4). This thesis incorporates the four vital steps of autoethnography to combine my experience with the Miss America organization and academic critique relevant to the themes I identify. These four steps include: (1) purposefully critiquing cultural practices, (2) making a contribution to existing work, (3) embracing vulnerability with the intention of enticing critique, and (4) creating a reciprocal relationship with the audience to evoke response. By using autoethnographic analysis I will discern patterns of cultural experience evident by artifacts and then describe these patterns using facets of storytelling (Ellis, 2011), and I will give voice to my personal experience for the purpose of pursuing sociological understanding (Wall, 2008). 			 Honors Program 		 Dana Schowalter | Gavin Keulks 

This study was designed to determine the abundance and distribution of aquatic macrophytes in one of the most important wintering grounds that serve as a winter food resource of Trumpeter Swans: Harriman State Park of Idaho.
Within five sampled river sections, I sampled 20 transects, and approximately 320 point intercept frames. Total percent cover for nearshore transects among all four years was 72.57%, whereas total percent cover for farshore transects among all four years was 74.58 %. The top three species composing this coverage remains the same between both nearshore and farshore transects; Zannichellia palustris, Elodea canadensis, and Potamogeton pectinatus (stuckenia spp.). I found significant differences in species composition and total vegetative cover between nearshore and farshore transects. Species composition differences included bare ground, Potamogeton pectinatus (stuckenia spp.), Rannunculus aquatilis, and Zannichellia palustris. Bare ground was significantly higher within nearshore transects, as was Zannichellia palustris. Contradictorily, I found significantly greater cover in the farshore transects for Potamogeton pectinatus (stuckenia spp.) and Rannunculus aquatilis.
Species composition between sections and years differed over time. In 2012, I found greater bare ground coverage in section D compared to 1988, 2011, and 2015. This may be due to increased spring river discharges carrying and depositing greater sediment loads into the section.
These results allow for important implications to be made regarding food availability for swans during the winter months when the top layer of the river freezes from the shore to the thalweg. Favored swan foods like Zannichellia palustris may be unavailable when ice-covered, whereas Elodea canadensis, Rannunculus aquatilis and Potamogeton pectinatus (stuckenia spp.) may be available during the early winter, even as reduced river discharges increase river icing across the entire river channel. 			 Honors Program 		 Jeffrey W.

What are they trying to tell us? That all depends on the environment they are in and how they got there. Even when a human is unable to speak anymore, they can still give information to scientists such as how long they have been dead or what could have caused their death. Just like how different crops grow in different environments, organic material decomposes in different ways in varying environments; in this case, the organic material will be cadavers. Currently, scientists are studying the decomposition process of cadavers that have been generously donated to science in a variety of environments. Scientists who study this type of decomposition do so at locations known as forensic “Body Farms” or Forensic Anthropology facilities. Many different environments can be observed at forensic body farms such as cadavers partially submerged in water, encased in concrete, or fully exposed to the elements. They also have cadavers that have been autopsied and not autopsied in order to explore all variables. The eight locations in the United States are spread out across the Eastern and Central portions of the continent, meaning that there is no location in the Western part of the continent. The closest location to the Western part of the continent is the Forensic 6 Investigation Research Station located in Grand Junction, Colorado. Even then, it is still roughly 1,020 miles away from San Francisco, California (Map Data), 1.050 miles away from Portland, Oregon (Map Data), and 1,110 miles from Seattle, Washington (Map Data). An ideal location for a “Body Farm” would have a diverse climate and be located in a location that is easy enough to access for those that need to access it but also secluded enough to not be interfered with by other people. Oregon has a very diverse climate that would expose the subjects of a forensic body farm to different elements that they would not be exposed to on the Eastern side of the United States. Such as different temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind, other climatic factors and more. My main goal for this project is to explain to readers the opportunities that opening a forensic body farm could become within reach for the scientific, law enforcement, and other communities. If one was to be opened in Oregon, it would be the only forensic body farm located on the West side of the Rocky Mountains. Along with providing general knowledge of what a forensic body farm is, I want to identify the stigma that surrounds “Body Farms” and explain how despite the challenges that can be faced it would be valuable if a location was created in Oregon. To combat the poor picture that comes to mind when the words are brought up, people need to understand that things decompose 7 differently in varied environments and see the facility as a scientific need. The cadavers donated to forensic body farms cannot be seen as people, they need to be seen as scientific tools. I want to address any concerns that may arise from a project such as this and explain ways of handling them constructively to help people understand the uses of “Body Farms.” Decomposition is not something that should be thought of as the “end” for the remains of a human after death, information can still be obtained from said decomposition and be valuable to fields of research that are beneficial for the future. 			 Honors Program 		 Pete Poston | Gavin Keulks 

Specifically, this project will focus on whether hula in Japan remains pure and close to its Hawaiian roots rather than transformed. Hawaii and Japan are both island cultures, but differences have developed in how hula is portrayed, whether it be more for the entertainment aspect or the cultural aspect. In hula, numerous performance elements symbolize aspects of Hawaiian culture: from the formation of the dancers (representing working together in a community) to the dancers’ adornments (representing a goddess, an island, or even the subject of the mele, or song, itself). Research on Hawaiian and Japanese cultural similarities, such as similarities in spiritual mythology, will reveal the factors that contribute to the continued popularity of hula in Japan. Similarities and differences in hula being taught in Hawaii versus being taught in Japan, such as commercializing hula into an industry, will also be evaluated. Insight from well-recognized kumu hula, or hula teacher, Shane Kamakaokalani ‘Maka’ Herrod, who teaches both in Hawaii and Japan, will also be used to have an inside perspective on how hula hālau, or hula schools, in Japan differ from those in Hawaii. 			 Honors Program 		 Darryl Thomas | Gavin Keulks 

In their Fifth Assessment Report, released in November 2014, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) determined that more than half of this observed temperature increase was caused by an increase in greenhouse gas concentrations from anthropogenic forcings—the consequences of which are seen incontrovertibly in the Arctic ecosystem. Since satellite observations began in 1979, the rate of decrease in Arctic sea ice extent—which has decreased every season without fail—was in the range of 3.5% to 4.1% per decade; it has most rapidly decreased during the summer, in the range of 9.4% to 13.6% per decade. The apex predator of the Arctic ecosystem, the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), is one of several creatures whose survival depends entirely upon the existence of sea ice. The polar bear has long been used as the captivating poster child of climate change to encourage conservation efforts. However, despite the widely known realities of climate change, there still appear to be significant barriers that prevent individuals from taking sustainable actions on a daily basis. What strategies, then, are needed to foster community engagement efforts that confront and eliminate that disconnect? I address this query through an in-depth examination of scholarly research, a review of survey data from individuals within the field of polar bear-conservation, and the implementation of a grassroots conservation project. My findings lead me to propose a two-pronged approach to successfully tackle those perceived barriers: the provision of (1) evidence of one’s sustainable habits having a positive effect, and (2) simple tools to help maintain one’s sustainable habits. 			 Honors Program 		 Mark Henkels | Gavin Keulks 

The focus of this study is to view the helicopter as a tool of military strategy, more than a piece of hardware. My thesis is that the helicopter enabled the search-and-destroy war waged by American forces against the North Vietnamese forces. This is part of the overarching theme which we see developing in American military history during the post-WWII era: an over reliance on technology to wage wars, often to the neglect of strategy. This article details the adoption of the helicopter by the US Army, explores how air-mobility played a role in the Vietnam War, and ultimately offers perspective on the relationship between technology and strategy in the modern era. 			 Honors Program 		 John Rector | Gavin Keulks 

First, that the Discipline of Western Philosophy, and pedagogy too, have certain intrinsic values. And second, that when a philosophy professor teaches, their teaching should be informed by the values of philosophy and the research that has been done on pedagogy. It would be somewhat strange, after all, if philosophy were taught unphilosophically or unpedagogically. Those are my assumptions. This paper is dedicated toward answering what the values of Western Philosophy are, how current practices break them, and what a philosophy class would look like if it were philosophically and pedagogically inspired. This paper is both critical and constructive: it critiques how philosophy is generally taught, and constructs an alternative. My goal, this essay’s goal, is to convince its reader that the proposed alternative is valuable — an improvement upon how things stand today, both because of its philosophical roots and pedagogical acuity. 			 Honors Program 		 Ryan Hickerson | Gavin Keulks 

While this thesis started out as a creation of two unique lesson plans, it turned into a journey through different teaching methods and the theories that back those methods. This thesis highlights two teaching strategies: Inquiry-Based Learning and the use of Real World examples. These methods can be applied to most middle school or high school mathematics classrooms. Two lessons are given as examples of these teaching methods. A Cryptology lesson introduces students to c lock arithmetic and relates it to encrypting and decrypting codes. In addition, a Geometry lesson focuses on the relationships between similar and congruent triangles. Both lessons use the Inquiry -Based Learning method and Real World applications to actively engage students in what they are learning and thus, give them the opportunity to create meaningful learning experiences. 			 Honors Program 		 Cheryl Beaver | Gavin Keulks 

The knowledge gained from these experiences is more long lasting and more enjoyable to students than the traditional rote memorization approach. The focus of my thesis will be to analyze the theory of Experiential Learning in a first grade classroom during my year in the Education Program at Western Oregon University. I will be designing lessons around principles founded by John Dewey, the father of experiential learning, to teach a Science unit in a first grade classroom. The science unit will focus on the life cycle and structure of insects while implementing hands--‐on learning opportunities at a first grade level in compliance with the state--‐ adopted Next Generation Science Standards for First Grade Science. The lessons will also seek to enhance the personal interest in the subject area. I plan to implement these lessons in a first grade\ classroom in the Dallas School District during my year of student teaching. 			 Honors Program 		 Marcus Wenzel | Gavin Keulks 

The federal government has figured out ways for distributors of medical marijuana to legally claim the income on their taxes, but what about in states that have legalized recreational marijuana? This thesis project will be focusing on what is being done to prevent distributors in states that have legalized the drug for recreational use from being arrested for selling marijuana. States have put laws into place to hopefully protect their distributors, but even if a state has created protection laws, distributors are not safe against the federal laws.
This paper focuses on marijuana’s history and the various uses the drug had before being placed on the Schedule I Drug List. The paper continues to discuss the long standing political platform, known as the War on Drugs, and how it has impacted the usage and distribution of marijuana. Break downs of federal policies show that banks and credit unions can have bank accounts for recreational distributors through the Cole Memo and the FinCEN. These documents can help those states that have legalized the drug recreationally to create a stepping stone in taxation of marijuana sales. With the idea of recreational marijuana being so new, government officials and the public are waiting to see what happens. 			 Honors Program 		 Anna Mahony | Gavin Keulks 

It will look at a textbook from each of the three main publishing companies in the United States. Included in this research is one very controversial textbook that recently came under fire for racist language. The sections in textbooks and their recent adaptations depicting American enslavement will be studied, as it is a topic that is underrepresented in American textbooks. This project will focus on identifying racist, misleading, and problematic language in textbooks and begin to delve into the potential effects of language utilized in secondary education history classrooms.
Racism is a topic that is difficult to measure or quantify, therefore experts in the field will be deferred to in order to define perceived racism and other major definitions necessary for this thesis. By analyzing and comparing the language used in these textbooks, attention will be drawn to potentially silent or hidden racism. Also, an intent of this thesis is to inform people that racism is not always hateful or obvious in design. The main aim of this thesis is to draw attention to any racist, misleading, or problematic language found, explain why it may be racist, and discuss the potential impact of the language to people who perceive racism in the textbooks. 			 Honors Program 		 Ken Carano | Gavin Keulks 

Students can struggle to find resources for writing papers, projects, etc., or could have a difficult time trying to navigate life as a WOU student and staying up-to-date with things going on at the university, so a website that’s easy for students to figure out and access the things they need would be beneficial. This could be things ranging from style guides for writing to social media pages related to clubs and organizations. WOU has a page similar to this called the WOU Portal, which serves as a reference or guideline for the website as mentioned. In addition to research on implementation tactics, graphics and icons displaying the previously mentioned design tactics will be shown, along with a web page mock-up. 			 Honors Program 		 Lucas Cordova | Gavin Keulks 

There is a branch of philosophy that gives credence to the inanimate, New Materialism. I have taken the principles of this school of thought and applied them to two kinds of residences: the McMansion and the Tiny House. Currently these structures are most often judged on the basis of sustainability, livability, or visual coherence. However, these subjective standards for judgement do not bring a viewer any closer to being able to explain how the residence styles function. New Materialism will provide a consistent toolkit to use when encountering architecture, a practice that honors the space more than subjective judgements have the capacity to. I chose to introduce these structures before applying New Materialism to them; having a grasp on the unique personality of each space will lend strength to the New Materialist argument that all objects shine with potential. This work closes with two short explorations of the quiet ways in which are spaces are alive. By the end of this thesis, I hope to impart an appreciation and awe for the mundane, the under-appreciated, and the over-hyped. 			 Honors Program 		 Lars Söderlund | Gavin Keulks 

Despite a variety of obstacles, veterans who were active duty after September 2001 have college completion rates of 51% (Cate, 2014). With this in mind, this exploratory study examined student veterans from Western Oregon University (WOU) overall wellbeing (moods, satisfaction with life, social integration) in association with the campus services and culture. 			 Honors Program 		 Debi Brannan | Gavin Keulks 

Both were influential in their time, and their compositions powerfully express the themes of trauma caused by the horrors of war, and they demonstrate the social divide arising out of disillusionment. This thesis also includes my own poetry (see appendix). This allows me to better connect with the artists who have come before, and perhaps inspire other writers to come forth and share their experiences. The project offers close examinations of Owen’s poetry and Seeger’s Vietnam War era protest songs, concerning both the writers’ arguments and connections to their personal and social trauma in the 1910s and 1960s-io0s. This thesis reminds readers of the importance of poetry and music in helping people overcome the worst evils and devastations of war and how Owen and Seeger accomplished this not just during their lives but also after their deaths. These artists left a powerful legacy spanning wars and generations, times of hate and times of love. 			 Honors Program 		 Henry Hughes | Gavin Keulks 

Today, society uses zoos as a method of protecting endangered species while also educating people about them. While zoos do a lot of good for preserving animals, there have been instances in the past of some zoos unintentionally, or intentionally, harming them. Therefore, I wrote Slaughterhouse Zoo, a novel that will explore themes in animal rights, acceptance of change, and morality. The novel features protagonist Dylan Alderbridge, a passionate animal lover who is also cynical towards people, as he becomes suspicious of the Nirmala Zoo’s intentions. He aims to get to the bottom of his speculations and take down the corrupt zoo from within by becoming an intern. He later discovers that the zoo has been mistreating and abusing its animals. Through this fictional story, I hope to shine a light on misunderstood animals, as well as show how zoos can be crucial to helping people understand animals better. 			 Honors Program 		 Lars Söderlund | Gavin Keulks 

However, without a national certification for signed language interpreters who work in healthcare settings, that law is hardly enforced, which is problematic. Multiple communication breakdowns have resulted from: family members and friends taking on the role of an interpreter; an interpreter not being provided; medical facilities hiring unqualified interpreters; and controversial use of video remote interpreting (VRI). These negative experiences have also led to many Deaf people being less inclined to seek medical care and routine appointments. Ultimately, the lack of access to qualified interpreters has affected the general health of the Deaf community.
The goal of this thesis will be to examine the need for a national medical specialization certification for signed language interpreters. The research and findings are presented as a meta-synthesis of the existing literature on the topic. The thesis will also provide suggestions for how that certification could be implemented, and the training programs necessary to equip interpreters for the specialization certification. 			 Honors Program 		 Vicki Darden | Gavin Keulks 

This thesis is a scholarly essay that examines the unintended consequences of requiring SAT or ACT scores for educational institution admittance. This project explores other methods for colleges and universities to use as a way of determining whether or not a student should be accepted or denied into the institution. Specifically, in my project, I researched the reasonings behind using standardized test scores as a primary method for determining the admittance of a student, the unintended consequences of requiring standardized test scores, and different options educational institutions can use to weigh the acceptance or denial of a student. The goal of this project is to synthesize existing research on this topic for college/university educators and administrators, who have yet to be informed about the drawbacks of requiring standardized test scores for institutional admittance. In order to address these points, I have conducted a meta-analysis of current, published research regarding standardized tests and college admissions. I have discovered that there are multiple unintended consequences of the SAT and ACT such as racism and socioeconomic bias. I have also researched other methods educational institutions can use to determine admittance such as becoming test- optional and interviewing potential students. 			 Honors Program 		 Alicia Wenzel | Gavin Keulks 

In the current experiment, the aim is to explore if surprise will have some form of statistically significant effect on cognitive performance. Participants consisted of io students from a northwestern university, the average age of participants was 19.3 (S = .io56). Materials include a Hexbug Fire Ant remote controlled robot, two tests of cognitive ability, a demographics form, a debriefing form, and an informed consent form. Participants first read and signed the informed consent. The robot was kept out of sight of participants. Subjects completed two tests with the pen on the desk. In the experimental group, the robot would suddenly be wheeled out from its hidden location before taking the test. After, subjects completed the demographics form and were debriefed. Participants were scored on the number of questions answered correctly. Participants who did receive a surprise had a slightly higher score (M = 1io.25, SD = .5) than individuals who did not (M = 15.33, SD = 2.52). The mean difference was not significant, t(5) = .186, p > .05, d = 0.511. The results do not support the hypothesis. This suggests that the treatment had no effect on participants. However, this study had multiple limitations. 			 Honors Program 		 Debi Brannan | Gavin Keulks 

While I created an entire world for the majority of the novel to take place in, I also worked to create a variety of primary, secondary, and background characters to make the world feel more authentic. In my novel, the main character has to deal with missing friends and family and what to do when she finds them again. She has to come to terms with her own history and personality and mesh that with her new circumstances.

National research and test results suggest that Latino ELLs are both failing and being underserved in a number of categories, including school completion with “the highest rates of drop out among all students” (Edl, Jones, & Estell, 2008, p. 39). These findings are also substantiated by the testing statistics reported at state and local levels. By interviewing six students who are directly affected by changing policies and testing approaches, this study will discuss and give voice to the academic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal experiences of these students. Furthermore, their accounts will be compared to national research and findings to begin telling part of the story of language learners in the state where I reside: Oregon. These stories are a powerful resource for educators seeking to better understand the needs and experiences of their students. 			 Honors Program 		 Karie Mize | Gavin Keulks 

Those in the U.S. are often referred to as KADs or Korean American adoptees. Utilizing participant observation and interviews conducted in South Korea, I examine how Confucian ideology, which stresses consanguineal relations, has directly affected the ways in which the Korean government and society view KADs and adoption and, consequently, shape the expectations placed upon KADs in a Korean context. I argue that KADs experience identity confusion and identity reconfiguration in the search for a sense of belonging in a country that has historically been ashamed of them. 			 Honors Program 		 Isidore Lobnibe | Gavin Keulks 

We have examined whether the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a directional preference and if this preference has genetic underpinnings. In order to answer these questions we designed a Y-maze in which each fly makes 10 sequential choices to go North or South. To breed a population of North-seeking flies, we recorded the distribution of flies exiting the maze and selected the Northern-most 20% to give rise to the next generation. We used a similar protocol to breed a population of South-seeking flies. Our data showed that wild-type Drosophila do not have a distinct innate preference for either North or South. Moreover, after 12 generations we did not produce a population of flies with a distinct directional preference. As a positive control we ran a similar experiment to look at phototaxis. Our data showed that flies exhibit positive phototaxis and after 12 generations of selective breeding we have produced a strain with a decreased phototaxic response. These experiments will be continued for 15 generations. Our findings will contribute to a better understanding of the magnetic orientation behavior of Drosophila. 			 Honors Program 		 Kristin Latham and Michael Baltzley | Gavin Keulks 

An examination of these human impacts in the Deschutes Basin finds the geomorphic and hydrologic impacts downstream of the hydroelectric complex to be less substantial than typically expected, while irrigation water withdrawals in the upper basin remain a serious issue. Mitigation and restoration efforts have achieved success in the larger context of the status quo of water rights and water use in the American West, though much work remains before anadromous fish reestablish a presence in the Deschutes Basin. 			 Honors Program 		 Mark M.

The story is driven by protagonist Kella Flynn, a young woman trapped in a strict career and limited by a misogynistic society. She clings to safety in the face of a government and culture that would happily set her aflame for any misstep they can blame on “witchcraft,” and she is only to coaxed to act outside her own interests following unusual circumstances. While writing this novel, I set out to engage in critical discussions on activism and the many gray areas within it. When a world undoubtedly needs to change, as one powerful groups thrives off the exploitation of others, the activists within must question what counts as justice. Where do they, and we, draw that moral line? 			 Honors Program 		 Lars Söderlund | Gavin Keulks 

The most natural and physical athletic ability that has been a part of our ancestors’ culture for generations upon generations. The sport of running is a mere pastime that seems to be taken up when there is no other exercising option available or appealing. However, for those that have found great joy in the art of running and racing, there is an abundance of knowledge available to the public on every possible aspect of how to improve running performance. The science behind how the body moves oxygen, stores glucose, burns calories, and biomechanically functions while running is immensely vast. Yet, each person is individually different. No two people are the same when it comes to stride, or better yet, running efficiency. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a resource that could compile all the helpful information out there and crunch it down into a manageable and easily understandable template? Improving overall fitness and avoiding injury is as simple as it gets for running basics, but what does the average recreational runner do to prevent injuries before they happen? How can basic training exercises be incorporated into a running routine to help increase longevity? If injury is already present, what can the athlete do to aid in a quick recovery and proper healing, all while staying motivated? The plethora of knowledge is out there and available, all the information needs now is a well-structured and properly designed template. 			 Honors Program 		 Robert Hautala and W.

Specifically, I will be doing a content analysis of four picture-books that have won the Schneider Family award, which is given to books that embody the disability experience for child or adult audiences. Using the guided questions from the article “Beyond the Medal: Representations of Disability in Caldecott Winners,” I am going to determine if the characters with disabilities are portrayed in an ableist way. Appropriate representation is important for marginalized people, including people who have disabilities. Providing picturebooks that embrace disability rather than marginalize it has a positive impact on all children in a classroom. The goal of my project is to create an understanding of the importance of non-ableist representation of characters with disabilities in picturebooks. After using the article to analyze the picturebooks, I will use the picturebooks that represent disabilities in an appropriate way as the basis of lesson plans to use in an elementary school classroom. The lesson plans will be centered around the importance of inclusion and lead to a discussion with students about why it is important to learn about people that might be different from them. I hope that my lesson plans will be useful in my own future classrooms, and potentially the classrooms of other educators too. 			 Honors Program 		 Marie LeJeune | Gavin Keulks 

This research also sought to identify obstacles and aids in the rehabilitative efforts at these facilities. It was hypothesized that reintegration programs would be perceived as the most effective type of rehabilitative program and that a lack of funding in prisons would be the greatest obstacle to the rehabilitative process. After reaching out to correctional facilities in multiple states, three key stakeholders in Alaska and Oregon were interviewed. Results indicated that no specific type of program was consider more effective over others. Rather, all programs were considered necessary to provide individualized treatment to all adults in custody. Furthermore, the greatest obstacles to rehabilitation at these facilities were difficulties motivating offenders to take advantage of treatments and understaffing. Further research should explore various ways to empower and motivate offenders to utilize rehabilitative programing.

For these graphs, we create an algorithm to run on a coded script that recursively runs criteria through an input graph from its matrix representation to check the 2-path, and will output either a success that our graph is a 2-tree Probe Interval Graph, or failure if it is not. After the creation of this algorithm, a complexity analysis for the algorithm will be developed, as well as the implementation of di_erent search criteria to hopefully reduce the complexity by some polynomial factor. The recognition for our set of graphs follows to the conceptual idea that triangles are built upon each other in a fashion of adding one vertex and two edges to a previous triangle in the graph. Each new triangle is added to an existing triangle and recursively builds the graph where the new vertex neighbors strictly two vertices with an existing triangle, creating a recursively de_ned 2-path. 			 Honors Program 		 Mathew Nanity | Gavin Keulks 

Many diet beverages and foods contain this chemical since it is about 200 times sweeter than regular table sugar and contains very few calories. Some people with a hereditary disease cannot metabolize the phenylalanine resulting from the breakdown of the aspartame. This, and potential health risks, have caused widespread controversy regarding the FDA approval of aspartame. I have used High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to quantify the amount of aspartame present in Diet Coke and Diet Pepper. I investigated how elevated temperatures can cause aspartame to become unstable and breakdown into potentially toxic chemicals. These findings will promote the labeling of actual amounts present in each drink, similar to how caffeine is labeled. 			 Honors Program 		 Rahim Kazerouni | Gavin Keulks 

Student-athletes across the country are often academically and athletically successful while facing unparalleled challenges. The goal is to inspire institutional change in the form of enacting priority registration for eligible student-athletes. Priority registration can be a way to limit some of the challenges and facilitate student-athlete success. After analyzing academic literature on college studentathlete challenges and options for support, there are clear gaps in literature on the effects of priority registration for student-athletes. WOU student-athletes, faculty, and staff provided feedback regarding their thoughts and opinions on priority registration for student-athletes. A proposal for implementing priority registration for WOU student-athletes before the Faculty Senate resulted in an endorsement from the committee and approval from the university president. Universities can facilitate student-athlete achievement through educating and raising awareness of student-athlete challenges, providing resources, and implementing strategies such as priority registration to help student-athletes. 			 Honors Program 		 Emily Vala-Haynes | Gavin Keulks 

There are books, blogs, television segments and more; the list goes on and on. Each individual has an opinion, perspective, diet, or goal. We all need to eat to fuel our bodies for everyday activities. This is an important concept for everyone to understand, but essential for athletes. To meet the high physical demands, athletes must feed themselves in a way that best fuels their bodies to perform. As a volleyball athlete, I have experienced firsthand the difficulty of developing sustainable eating habits. Female athletes are not only trying to perform athletically, but many also deal with social pressures and body image. In my own experience as a player and coach, volleyball-specific nutrition information is not easily accessible to anyone, especially young players. Without correct information, girls are more likely to develop unhealthy habits. To better understand the proper eating habits necessary for female athletes, we must investigate the barriers and consequences of inadequate nutrition. Resources must become available for athletes and coaches, to promote and develop eating behaviors that are sustainable, which will result in higher performance and better overall health. By examining proper volleyball nutrition and various barriers to implementation, this paper contributes to the larger discussion of health and sports nutrition. 			 Honors Program 		 Mr. Jacob Roark | Gavin Keulks 

 information surrounding post mortem events. Focusing on opioid detection in the human body will further detection limits and identification after death. This research serves to break down the detection, separation, and identification of new designer drugs while combating the common challenges drug analysis faces.

This project will explore the naturally occurring chemicals found in our body when living, the breakdown of chemicals in the body post mortem, and the detection of foreign compounds post mortem. It is beneficial to the identification of people, along with reconstruction of the events leading up to death. Relying on previous research, I will build on the gaps in post mortem opioid detection and analysis to suggest ways to improve this research, utilizing my extensive knowledge from chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and introduction to toxicology. The end result will encompass detection techniques and alternative solutions to detecting novel opioids in the human body after death. 			 Honors Program 		 Patricia Flatt | Gavin Keulks 

Procedures that were once thought impossible are now possible, causing ethical debates between multiple disciplines. This study specifically focused on human enhancement technologies (HET's) and how professionals in the medical field evaluate them on an ethical basis. It was hypothesized that participants would be generally in favor of using human enhancement technologies as therapeutic tools but would be against their use as enhancers. In order to determine this, 106 medical and scientific professionals from Oregon and Washington participated in an online survey. Results were subjected to statistical analysis using Microsoft Excel software. It was demonstrated that participants were significantly in favor of HET's when used for therapy but were not in favor of their use as enhancers. Participants also felt that a new ethical code specifically designed for HET's should be implemented. How the attitudes of medical and research professionals are shaped with regard to HET's will undoubtedly influence their future use and acceptance. 			 Honors Program 		 Warren Allen | Gavin Keulks 

Making the decisions of what to invest in involves intricate mathematics in order to reduce risk. We investigate portfolio optimization, which is a branch of economic and financial modeling that typically has the goal of maximizing an investment's expected return. We explore a linear programming approach to a decision model for a first time investor. Our results are compared to our expectation and different outcomes are computed based on adjusting our models used for calculating rates of return and failure rates in order to best capture reality. We then explore how changing our constraint of confidence in our investment affects the distribution of the model. 			 Honors Program 		 Matthew Nabity | Gavin Keulks 

N -3 PUFA researchers have linked n -3 PUFA deficiency to several leading causes of American deaths ( Kung, Hoyert, Xu, & Murphy, 2008 ), including cardiovascular disease (Oomen et al., 2000), cancer (Ge et al., 2002), cerebrovascular accidents (Iso et al., 2001), diabetes mellitus (Gillen, 2005), and Alzheimer's disease (Morris et al., 2003). Developmentally, r esearchers have reported that infants with higher n -3 PUFA intake s perform significantly better on developmental tests compared to infants with lower n -3 PUFA intakes (Carlson et al., 1992; Daniels, Longnecker, Rowland, & Golding, 2004). Additionally, n -3 PUFA have been observed as efficacious in treat ing and preventi ng mood disorders ( Stoll et al., 1999; Williams et al., 2006 ), attention deficit disorder ( Gadoth, 2008 ), and autism ( Amminger et al., 2007; Bell et al., 2004). In this study, we investigated the cognitive benefits of n -3 PUFA on healthy, college -aged individuals. Participants completed a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) designed to measure n -3 PUFA. Low n -3 PUFA consumers (n=31) and high n -3 PUFA consumers (n=32) completed three cognitive assessments: a digit -span test, a Stroop Test, and a Trail Making Test. A series of t -tests and ANOVA tests indicated that there were no significant differences in the above cognitive measures as a function of self -reported n -3 PUFA intake (i.e., high or low). These results could have derived from participant error in reporting n -3 PUFA intake. As well, the FFQ scoring could have misattributed the n -3 PUFA values of certain foods. Though these results indicate that there were no cognitive benefits associated with high n -3 PUFA consumption, the cognitive benefits of n -3 PUFA require more research across populations of different ages. 			 Honors Program 		 Gavin Keulks | Gavin Keulks 

How this impacts the physiology of those plants is convoluted and needs further study. In my attempt to relate polyploidy to various water relations traits, I completed pressurevolume curves on plants within the blackberry family, Rubus Subgenus Rubus with ploidies ranging from 2-10. As supported by many previous studies, stomatal anatomy characteristics did vary significantly with ploidy. I also found that nighfme, but not daytime, water potential showed significant variation due to ploidy. There was not significant variaioon due to ploidy in any of the pressure-volume measurements studied. Addiioonal collecioon of gas exchange data would provide more insight into these results. These studies will begin to fill a knowledge gap that currently exists in plant physiology. Addiioonally, results from this research could aid current agricultural dilemmas, such as feeding the growing human populaioon in a changing climate. 			 Honors Program 		 Ava Howard | Gavin Keulks 

Bonomo’s and Carolyn K. Cuff's paper How Do You Stack Up? a mathematical problem was posed. This question was regarding a common children’s toy known as a stacking ring tower. The problem the authors addressed came as a result of a common occurrence: the event that not all of the rings are placed on the tower in the “proper” order. When the rings are placed on the tower in a variation of that “proper” order, some of them will inevitably stick over the top of the tower. The problem the authors decided to tackle was to find the average number of rings that stick over the top of the tower when examining all possible placements of the rings. The authors found a solution and proved their solution to be true within their paper.
At the beginning of this project, it was my goal to solve the same problem independently of Bonomo and Cuff, and then to compare my results with theirs. I ended up taking a very different approach, but in the end, my work ended up corresponding with theirs. In my paper, I will explain my thought process and my methods for solving this problem. I will guide the reader through my strategies and explain how they did (or did not) work out for me. We will begin with some basic definitions and explanation of the problem in greater detail, and then commence with my research. 			 Honors Program 		 Cheryl Beaver | Gavin Keulks 

During physical activity, the brain is influenced in ways that have the potential to improve academic success among elementary school students. The purpose of our thesis was to analyze the research that has been done on the effects of physical activity on the brain by creating this literature review that helps determine how physical activity can be utilized in the education system. We then took that information and compared it to our theories so that we could better understand where current issues lay and how they might be addressed as we enter the teaching profession. Based on our research, we developed a pedagogical theory of best practice which we can now put to use in our future teaching careers. To conclude this thesis, we have included ways for teachers to implement our findings through activities such as brain breaks, teaching strategies and school wide fitness programs, so that our research benefits more than just our own classrooms. Our goal is to impact the lives of as many students as we can, in the area of physical education. 			 Honors Program 		 Katherine Farrell | Gavin Keulks 

In recent years, there have been tremendous strides in mental health apps on mobile devices; yet, very little research has been done to determine if mobile apps could help the general population decrease mental health issues. Considering new health-related devices, most of the recent developments concern symptoms relating to physical exercise. Devices targeting proper mental health care are not nearly as well known. This honors senior project reviews the findings of recent empirical studies as well as review the user-reviews of specified mental health apps. An experimental study was also conducted on people’s perception of mental health apps being used as a primary form of treatment for people who may suffer from minor mental health issues.

Many publications define the diversity of student populations using only visible attributes including race, age, and gender. With those types of definitions for diversity, Western Oregon University (WOU) could be seen as a predominately young, white and female university, since these groups make up the majority of the student population. However, there are many other ways diversity can be defined, looking at individuals based on invisible attributes, including sexual orientation, geographic origin and socioeconomic class, which cannot be seen on a surface level. Diversity is an essential and beneficial piece for any institution of higher education and provides people with different views that are varied from their own. Just like one cannot judge a book by its cover, it’s hard to truly describe an individual or a group if only specific visible attributes are used. It is important both visible and invisible attributes are used when defining an individual. In order to determine the perception of diversity WOU has to offer, I interviewed 12 students attending Western Oregon University and asked them three questions: How would you describe a typical Western Oregon University student? How would you define diversity? Do you think Western Oregon University is a diverse university? These questions guided my exploration of the perception of the diversity among Western Oregon University’s students. I compared their responses and perceptions to the perception commonly shared by publications, in which diversity is primarily focused on visible attributes such as race, gender, and ethnicity. The student responses could be used to help determine strategies and ways to continue promoting diversity at WOU, which will benefit students in their pursuit of higher education for years to come. 			 Honors Program 		 Marcus Wenzel | Gavin Keulks 

Unfortunately this is not an isolated instance of teaching history. History teachers are plagued with the stereotype of being dry and boring. While other contents adjust to accommodate students, the majority history tends to be taught in the typical fashion (Laufenberg, 2011, p. 1). A teacher lectures and students absorb information by taking notes. If students are really “lucky” there will be a break from lectures and instead will be able to enjoy a lengthy historical documentary. What can be done to change the ways that history can be taught? Perhaps the approach the teacher takes to teaching can impact the way students respond to the content. Classes typically taught with this lecture style tend to teach history as a timeline (Olson-Raymer, 2011). Teachers start with one event or date and move forward throughout history. An alternative approach further examined in this paper is a thematic approach where a teacher instead selects meaningful themes for students to explore in great detail. While other methods exist outside of these two approaches, the traditional chronological approach is contrasted to the thematic approach to determine if there are ways to alleviate the disinterest students have in history. Advantages, disadvantages and sample lesson plans are used to dissect these approaches to determine their effectiveness for use in the history classroom. 			 Honors Program 		 Ken Carano | Gavin Keulks 

These spaces, such as
capitol buildings and schools, are owned and regulated by the government. To explore
women’s access to institutionalized spaces in the mid/late twentieth century, I have
analyzed five oral history interviews. These are all with and/or about Maurine Neuberger,
Karen Jensen, and Linda Stonecipher. I share pieces of their stories. Oral Histories
exhibit a direct and personal recounting of the ways in which American society has
regulated women’s access to institutional spaces, and how some attempted to surpass the
expectations placed upon them. All these oral histories exhibit some of the ways the
women were separated from men, and treated differently than men as students, athletes,
and professionals. Because of separation by gender, many sports became uniquely male
or female, think football versus field hockey. Neuberger in the 1920s, and Jensen and
Stonecipher in the 1970s, all studied Physical Education. Into at least the 1970s, most
men’s P.E. programs had separate, newer buildings, and women were taught with

Out of this dichotomy online education for grades K-12 has emerged. Its many forms include everything from “flipped classrooms” to online classes or homework that supplements conventional classrooms to completely online charter schools (Wolk, 2011). Just four years ago there were already state-wide virtual charter schools in 20 states. These schools were often funded through rulings by state legislatures (Watson, 2008). There is also a growing concern over whether the majority of teacher candidates will need to be ready to use online supplements or even to teach entirely online (Natale, 2011). Future educators may need to be skilled in meeting the needs of students through the online medium, which may or may not be substantially different from the skill set needed for a physical classroom. How does a teacher candidate become qualified to teach online effectively? What are universities doing to prepare undergraduate and graduate students for teaching online? What do administrators and principals of online schools look for in their teachers? What do the teachers themselves have to say about this new facet of the education job market? What about the views of the students themselves in how effective online teachers meet their needs? This study offers an overview of literature on virtual or online schools. Additionally, action research was conducted to interview various contributors to online education, including teachers, administrators, and college professors. The results of surveys and interviews conducted with hiring staff on online schools, online teachers, and university faculty of online education training in Oregon’s public education system are analyzed and reported as well. 			 Honors Program 		 Marie LeJeune | Gavin Keulks 

“Friendship as a Relationship Infiltration Tactic during Human Mate Poaching”
(Mogilski & Wade, 2013). The purpose of the replication was to further explore the well
documented lack of replications within psychology, and to provide a template for how to
improve this issue. The authors of the original study sought to determine how friendship
affected the success of someone trying to infiltrate a romantic relationship. They
hypothesized that a person would be more likely to successfully steal the mate of another
if the poacher was friends with their target mate, rather than acquaintances. When the
poacher/poached were friends previous to the attempt, it was hypothesized that the
poacher would incur fewer costs (e.g., physical retaliation from the poachee). Participants
were given one of four vignettes to read then asked to rate the poacher’s likelihood of
being successful and incurring future costs. Data was analyzed using a 2(sex) x
2(friendship) Multivariate Analysis of Variance. Overall, the replication study provided
supporting evidence for all but one hypothesis. However, only the first (regarding success
rate) was replicated successfully in that it was the only statistically significant result that
overlapped with the original study. The implication of these conflicting results shows the
importance of replication within psychology. 			 Honors Program 		 Jaime Cloud | Gavin Keulks 

It was hypothesized that those briefed on the CSI Effect would find the defendant guilty, while those not briefed would find the defendant innocent. One hundred sixty-three undergraduate students were recruited via SONA and were compensated with course extra credit for their participation. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions (no briefing, briefing before forensic testimony, and jury instructions briefing). A one-way ANOVA test was run and no significant results were found between the three conditions, (f(162)=0.5954), n.s.. These results suggest that there is no nullification effect to briefing a jury on the CSI Effect; however, due to the many limitations of the study an effect may be present that was not found in the current study. 			 Honors Program 		 Misty Weitzel | Gavin Keulks 

In attempting to answer this query my project will elaborate on what Newton’s Method is and how its used as well as demonstrate that Newton’s Method itself behaves predictably via mathematical proof. In this context, I will examine real-valued functions with solutions then introduce complex-valued functions. Following a proof of Newton’s Method for complex functions, the project will compare the behavior of these complex-valued functions with the previously mentioned real-valued functions. The project will examine the convergence behavior of Newton’s Method when analyzing complex-valued functions and determine if the behavior is chaotic. Upon observing this chaotic 4 behavior, my project will seek to find complex functions that do not exhibit chaotic convergence behavior. Subsequently, I will analyze my discoveries and discuss their implications. As of yet, there has been no comprehensive study of iterative methods in the context of solving complex valued equations. Ultimately, my project will produce an analytic discussion of the behavior of several functions within Newton’s Method along with computational experiments. From this process we might find some distinguishing factor that determines whether behavior will be predictable or chaotic. 			 Honors Program 		 Matthew Nabity | Gavin Keulks 

These modifications have stirred a lot of controversies among the general public, especially because some groups argue that individual freedoms have been overlooked to give U.S. police more power to prevent crime. Previous research has studied the effect of militarization on the police-community relationship and has determined that the militaristic appearance and tactics of police has, in some studies, resulted in unfavorable public perceptions. The goal of the present thesis project is to evaluate how the police have altered their approach to law enforcement after 9/11 and if those changes are still necessary based on the effectiveness of militarized policing. In doing so, I will have compiled thoughtful analysis on the topic and contribute several recommendations that I believe will aid further research in this area of study. 			 Honors Program 		 Mari Sakiyama | Gavin Keulks 

Education, training, and support related to vicarious trauma are often provided to other practice professionals who engage in trauma work. This paper addresses these practices in relation to the profession of sign language interpreting. Exposure to emotionally-charged and traumatic situations has been shown to result in symptoms of vicarious trauma, and findings of the current literature demonstrate that vicarious trauma significantly impacts interpreters. The author aims to take a closer look at the current literature on vicarious trauma as applied to the interpreting profession, as well as provide an analysis of the current approaches to managing vicarious trauma. The author addresses why vicarious trauma occurs, preventative education and training, and post-traumatic care. The author features some of the risk factors associated with an interpreter’s likelihood of experiencing vicarious trauma, as well as some of the preventative education and training and post-traumatic care techniques currently employed by interpreters. Following, the author emphasizes recommendations from the research for the interpreting profession to utilize in supporting its practitioners as they navigate this issue. These recommendations aim to assist interpreters in their goal of producing work of the highest standard while also reducing their risk of experiencing vicarious trauma while on an assignment. Finally, the author shares personal reflections from her perspective as a student of sign language interpreting. 			 Honors Program 		 Erin Trine | Gavin Keulks 

According to The Hellboy Companion “Hellboy's potency as a character comes from [his] moral foundation, this contrast between his origins and his aspirations” (10). At once, Hellboy exists as a protector of humanity against the monsters of old and as a monster himself. He is biologically both human and demon, born for the purpose of bringing on the start of the apocalypse. Before this can be realized, though, he is adopted and raised by a human parent. His human identity comes to represent choice and free will, while his monstrous heritage represents a predetermined fate and an inescapable nature. This nature versus nurture conflict is played out in several ways in the series, especially in Hellboy's identity as a hero. In this thesis I will show how Hellboy is a heroic character aptly suited to current social and cultural trends through literary analysis of the overarching plot and in the nature versus nurture theme central to his character. Additionally, I will explore how the character of Hellboy influences his world and how he is influenced by his world through the force and will of greater powers. 			 Honors Program 		 Kit Andrews | Gavin Keulks 

In addition to the physical ramifications of injury, student athletes often experience psychological reactions to injury such as depression, anxiety, identity loss, disordered eating, and substance abuse. To support the needs of injured student athletes, the NCAA Mental Health Best Practices guide states that student athletes should have easy access to mental health care providers of multiple disciplines through a cohesive network of coaches, the athletic department, athletic trainers, team doctors, and certified counselors working together for the athlete’s wellbeing. Consequently, my thesis aimed to investigate ways to triangulate these sources at Western Oregon University (WOU) to better support the needs of student athletes following injury. To achieve this goal, I compiled peer-reviewed literature on mental health in collegiate student athletes post-injury, interviewed members of the athletic department, athletic training staff, and counselors at the Student Health and Counseling Center (SHCC), and made recommendations to the University regarding policies and procedures they can implement to better support the needs of injured student athletes at WOU. 			 Honors Program 		 Emily Vala-Haynes | Gavin Keulks 

Because of these major differences, student-athletes’ needs are not necessarily met by programs designed for the general college student. In this thesis, I review growing research on the distinct mental health needs of student-athletes as well as programs that best support them. I also present results from informational interviews with both athletic staff and student-athletes to gain a more thorough understanding of the specific needs and desires of the Western Oregon University Athletic Department. Results indicate that there are common times of increased stress, shared desires for added support, and influential individuals in student-athletes’ lives. More support is needed to assist student-athletes in coping with the immense stress of these unprecedented times. Considering the combination of findings from recent studies and responses from interviews, the WOU athletic community would benefit from the designation of an athletic representative within campus counseling staff, ongoing mental health education opportunities for coaches and athletes, and more cross-team, community events. 			 Honors Program 		 Emily Vala-Haynes | Gavin Keulks 

The gang Mara Salvatrucha, familiarly known as MS-13, arguably presents the largest threat to national and regional security. The gang’s relatively recent emergence, growth, and expansion has raised serious concern. The criminal group is responsible for a multitude of crimes that directly threaten the welfare of citizens and state security from the suburbs of Washington D.C. to slums in Central American. This gang’s coast-to-coast presence plagues cities and communities across the United States, claiming territory in at least 42 states. MS-13 now claims 10,000 members in the U.S. and 70,000 Latin American members across the entire American continent (FBI 2008). The U.S. government’s concerns about gangs have heightened with the increasing growth of MS-13, both in membership and sophistication. Congress maintains an interest in crime and gang violence in Central America, as well as the related activities of the U.S. branches of MS-13 within our borders. Central American governments, the media, and some scholars have attributed a significant proportion of violent crime plaguing the region to the recent globalization of U.S. gang culture.
This thesis provides a current overview of the threat posed by MS-13, as well its historical origins and evolution as a criminal organization. The first half analyzes the birth of the gang in Los Angeles in the 1980s and the political factors contributing to MS-13’s continental migration south over the past two decades. American criminal deportations play an important role in the transnational nature of MS-13 and will be analyzed. Many blame U.S. deportation policies for the globalization of the gang and fueling the current gang epidemic in Central America. Subsequently, the context in which the gang operates within Central America, specifically in El Salvador is examined. Many scholars and government officials agree that the suppressive policies enacted by Central American states, specifically the Mano Dura (“hard hand”) laws have failed at countering both MS-13 membership and its associated crime and violence.
The latter half of this thesis focuses on the evolution of U.S. policy responses, at the international level, enacted to address the security implications posed by MS-13. The concern of this thesis is not whether the U.S. government is responding but rather if its responses are designed and implemented thoughtfully so that the limited funding is allocated effectively. Policy-makers in the U.S. and Central American are struggling to find the right combination of suppressive and preventive policies to combat MS-13. Most analysts agree that a more comprehensive, regional approach to the sophisticated gang is necessary to prevent further escalation of the problems created by the gang’s illicit activity. 			 Honors Program 		 Mark Henkels | Gavin Keulks 

Previous research has examined pheromone production in many insect species, but little is known about pheromone production in vertebrates. Previous pheromone research has occurred using the red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis, as a model system but it remains unclear where the female sexual attractiveness pheromone, the primary pheromone utilized by this species, is being produced. Snake skin epidermis cells have shown to be important in the production of skin lipids and regulating the permeability of the skin, and thus could play a central role in pheromone production and / or expression. This study measured the thickness of the top three epidermal layers in the skin of female red-sided garter snakes throughout the hibernation period. Of the three layers analyzed, the beta keratin layer was the only layer found to show a significant difference in thickness across the sampling periods. For this layer, I observed a decrease in thickness throughout hibernation, supporting a potential role for this layer in pheromone expression in the epidermis for this species. 			 Honors Program 		 Michael P.

The book is designed to be used with children as loss occurs in their life to provide them with a new lens to learn about what has happened. The book contains back matter for the adult to review to learn about loss and children, and it will also provide discussion starters to open conversations between the adult and the child. The goal of this book is that as the characters find understanding and hope, the children reading it—or having it read to them—will be able to experience the same sense of calm following what could be a traumatic experience. The second piece to this project is a written reflection following the composition of the children’s book which explores the writing process. There is also an expository section which discusses similar resources and research which guided the choices made in the production of this children’s book. 			 Honors Program 		 Marie LeJeune | Gavin Keulks 

While exact causes are unknown, there are a variety of ways to lead these children down a successful educational path. Starting at a young age, treatments and educational approaches can support healthy and productive lifestyles, and enhance learning in the classroom. While many people who are autistic excel in art and other creative subjects, without proper instructional techniques, becoming a proficient reader can be a great challenge. This study explored the benefits and drawbacks of existing reading techniques and strategies for children with autism spectrum disorders. The researcher implemented the strategies, as well as developed some new ones as a result of the experiences working with Matthew*, an eleven-year-old child with autism. Developed and implemented lesson plans through trial and error in order to discover what worked most effectively. 			 Honors Program 		 Cindy Ryan | Gavin Keulks 

While there is certainly value in appreciating paintings at a very involuntary level (letting yourself respond to a piece without inhibition from a cultivated knowledge base), there is also an argument to be made for understanding why our emotions are affected by a composition and, in the specific case of this thesis, by the sort of light (manifested in terms of color and value) that is used in a composition.
This thesis project is an exploration into the nature and influence of lighting in the composition, and subsequently the mood, of paintings. The primary focus of this exploration will be a series of nine paintings (each of which will seek to present its viewer with a strong sense of its mood). In order to support and expand this, I will also be pursuing a short analysis of the series and a discussion of some of the theory and movements of art that have been particularly concerned with light throughout the relatively recent history of painting. The joining of these components is, in essence, a sampling of the use of light in art. The goal of this guide is to introduce its reader to a greater degree of understanding of the relationship between the use of light in painting and the emotions that they take away from it, which can be understood regardless of their previous level of acquaintance to art. 			 Honors Program 		 Michael Freeman | Gavin Keulks 

New information concerning Arthur on three basic details - the dates of significant events of his life, his ancestry and close family members, and the area of Britain in which he was militarily active - would be extremely useful in identifying the mysterious historical figure that Arthur has become. This paper examines multiple sources related to the existence and identity of Arthur, approaching the topics in a roughly reverse chronological order, evaluating first what is most historically certain before analyzing aspects of Arthur that are more contested. While little information regarding Arthur's lineage and location in Britain was discovered, a combination of several elements of the Arthurian tradition and various textual sources resulted in a new timeframe for Arthur's life, based on the dates of two of Arthur's major battles. 			 Honors Program 		 Elizabeth Swedo | Gavin Keulks 

Academic language and its norms must be taught explicitly in language arts classrooms in order for students to be proficient writers of academic genres and for testing purposes. This project provides a literature review on academic language instruction and writing instruction at the secondary level. The guidebook for academic language includes several lesson plans to assist educators in teaching academic language and its features. The features of academic language are outlined using authentic Texts that teachers can use in their own classrooms. 			 Honors Program 		 Cornelia Paraskevas | Gavin Keulks 

Associated student governments are also an integral component to the concept of shared governance, where students, faculty, staff share influence in the decision-making process with administration. Influenced by factors such as the culture and current events of a campus, student bodies and student governments can take on a surprisingly wide range of goals and initiatives. Regardless of what issue the student body has identified as a worthwhile cause, student governments must be aware of and equipped to use a variety of tools to successfully advocate for their vision. This thesis walks student leaders through a real-world case study of a student government who successfully fought for autonomy over the student incidental fee after that had been infringed on by University Administration in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. This case study is written by the student body president who led these efforts and provides strategic commentary and lessons learned throughout the recount of his experience. No matter what your student government is fighting for, this thesis aims to equip leaders with versatile tools and advice that can be applied to any issue of student interest. 			 Honors Program 		 Megan Habermann-Guthrie | Gavin Keulks 

This senior thesis investigates these and related questions in order to understand the culture of knitting and how knitters keep the practice alive. Drawing on participant observation and oral interviews, it further examines the identities knitters construct as members of knitting communities in rural Oregon, the differences in the craft based on the knitting practices employed, the materials and the patterns used, the gender ideologies of learning how to knit, and the role of online interactions. 			 Honors Program 		 Isidore Lobnibe | Gavin Keulks 

Tactile signed language systems, which have been widely adopted by many members of the DeafBlind community, have been a relatively new introduction to the linguistic study of signed languages. This research examines the current literature on the unique features of ProTactile American Sign Language (PTASL) in terms of its linguistic structure, turn-taking elements, and methods of back channeling in contrast with the same features of Visual American Sign Language (VASL). These linguistic differences have historically led to the description of PTASL as a dialect of VASL (Collins, 2004). However, since the inception of ProTactile in the early 2000s, progressively more unique structures have been adopted in tactile discourse, which have led to the consideration of PTASL as a language distinct from VASL (Edwards, 2014a). In accordance with these claims, I have examined research conducted on casual use of PTASL among native users in a search for connecting patterns and commonalities. In this paper, I explore the unique characteristics of PTASL in relation to progressive language change with a direct focus on the implications thereof for interpreters working within the DeafBlind community. 			 Honors Program 		 Elisa Maroney | Gavin Keulks 

His style of directing is easily recognizable by his fans and has often been imitated in other films. I became intrigued by Hitchcock while I was studying abroad in England, where I took film classes that introduced me to some of his work. I watched many of his films on my own, outside of class, and began to recognize similar elements between his different films.
In an attempt to create an homage of sorts to Hitchcock and to learn more about filmmaking and screenwriting, I wrote a “Hitchcockian” screenplay adaption of Daphne du Maurier’s 1933 novel, Julius. Hitchcock already adapted three of du Maurier’s works to film: Jamaica Inn, Rebecca, and The Birds. Julius runs much in the same vein as Rebecca, a period piece with a dark mood and constant tension lurking behind every action and line of dialogue. Neither Julius nor Rebecca is much of a thriller, but instead a suspenseful mystery as a secret or truth is slowly revealed.
My hope for this project is that it carries on Hitchcock's legacy, as other writers and directors have done, in today's world. I want to remind audiences of a time when fear could be invoked through the subtlety of dialogue and simple images, rather than through gore or loud noises. Overall, I hope to pay tribute to Hitchcock, in a way, by writing a script for a film he might have directed. 			 Honors Program 		 Shaun Huston | Gavin Keulks 

Because of this, they are able to withstand the most extreme conditions. This radiotolerancy has been pinpointed to the d-Sup protein and has thus instigated experimentations into the limits and availability to genetically splice this protein and its functions have been tested. Through analysis and critique of these studies, I have created art pieces to express the scientific research and findings. Each piece varies in scientific data, alongside media and size. This results in an assemblage of works that will successfully express scientific research and findings in a visual mode. It is fair to note that the current global pandemic of Covid-19 has halted some of this artistic expression and presented obstacles that were not always overcome. Because of this, there’s limitation on wholly finished pieces—further explained in the body of this project. 			 Honors Program 		 Greg Poulin | Gavin Keulks 

However, controversy exists over whether or not there are academic benefits to utilizing these tools, as well as the degree of those potential benefits or detriments. Additionally, not all facilities and educators have access to the same equipment, as not all schools receive the same amount of funding. My thesis topic will focus on a specific educational tool, the interactive whiteboard, in the elementary classroom. I will be working with preexisting research and studies to compare and contrast the current literature on this subject. The purpose will be to not only analyze the efficacy of interactive whiteboards as a teaching tool, but also to look at the disparity that could arise in the quality of education between financially disadvantaged schools and more financially prosperous schools if the interactive whiteboard is indeed truly beneficial in the classroom. 			 Honors Program 		 Marcus Wenzel | Gavin Keulks 

This study is testing whether Drosophila have an innate directional magnetic preference based on the Earth’s ambient magnetic field. The flies were tested using a sequential Y-maze that was housed within a Faraday cage to block out any radio frequency fields. Half of the trials were oriented so that north was to the left and the other half with north to the right. The results for male and female flies were analyzed separately given that male flies have been shown to show a significantly stronger magnetotactic behavior than the females. The average vial exit point for males (N/R = 4.9 } 0.2; N/L = 4.9 } 0.2) and females (N/R = 5.2 } 0.2; N/L = 4.7 } 0.2) were not significantly different from each other (p > 0.1) or from the expected value (p > 0.9). While this study reveals no innate directional preference in Drosophila, or a significant magnetic orientation behavioral difference between male and female flies, to the Earth’s ambient magnetic field, it opens up many avenues for future research of magnetic orientation behavior in Drosophila. 			 Honors Program 		 Kristin Latham and Michael Baltzley | Gavin Keulks 

The participants consisted of 96 college students attending Western Oregon University and who were enrolled in at least one college course during the school year. Seventy-six students identified themselves as female, 16 identified as male, and 3 identified as nonbinary, with the average age of participants being 18-22 years, and the standard deviation being σ = 0.66. Forty-eight percent of participants identified themselves as having a White ethnic background, whereas 32.67% identified with having a Hispanic background. The participants were sampled from a website called SONA Systems. Using the Qualtrics survey creation tool, all participants were provided with two short vignettes about children in a general education classroom that they were asked to read. Following each vignette, participants were asked to answer six survey questions, twelve questions in total, regarding the vignette they just read. The results revealed that individuals believe children with disabilities will perform poorly in a general education classroom without the presence and assistance from special education teacher aides, but will perform better with such aides in the general classroom. This research will aid in revealing individuals' 6 perceptions of students with disabilities engaging socially and learning in a general education classroom. 			 Honors Program 		 Cindy Ryan | Gavin Keulks 

It is the only position in the U.S. government that is part of two different branches, the executive and the legislative. Traditionally, the Vice President's role has been to do nothing except wait for the President to die. John Adams, who was the nation's first Vice President, once said of the office of the Vice Presidency, "M y country has contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived". In fact, the office has been so unimportant historically that it has been vacant 15 times (Bauman p.1). Over time, the office of the Vice Presidency has evolved and developed into the position it is today. The Modern Vice President not only serves as an advisor to the President on domestic and foreign policy, but also acts as the presidential liaison to Congress. The Vice President also serves on, and in some instances chairs, many key committees in the U. S. Government. The office has gone through three distinct eras that fundamentally changed the position from the role that the founding fathers envisioned to the modern Vice Presidency. The entity that is the modern Vice Presidency has created a problem that would have been unheard of 100 years ago. Since the Office of the Vice President has gained so much power in the last few decades with Vice Presidents such as Richard Nixon, Walter Mondale, and Dick Cheney, there is now the possibility of actually having executive officers that are so powerful they become a co-president; something that the founders of our country never intended. 			 Honors Program 		 Mark Henkels | Gavin Keulks 

However, people with disabilities often go without the opportunity to satisfy social needs as a result of isolation. The purpose of this conceptual thesis is to address this issue by exploring what research has been done in order to design a study to identify current attitudes towards people with disabilities and satisfaction of life. Results indicate t here is a need for integration program s in order for social skills to allow individuals to comfortably interact with people without disabilities. It is necessary to incorporate people with and without disabilities in order to provide the opportunity for interaction to potentially decrease feelings of isolation through increased social interaction. 			 Honors Program 		 Amber Feist | Gavin Keulks 

These experiences can either positively or negatively affect what choices the student makes in their future academic endeavors. More often than not the students who are struggling to understand the material get lost in large class sizes where they don't get the necessary instruction to meet their learning needs. In my thesis I aim to explore the advantages of creating lesson plans for second and fourth graders that incorporate multiple learning styles to better fit the needs of the students, despite growing class sizes. Research in the implementation of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences and the effects of these styles on improvement and understanding will give every student an equal opportunity to have an intellectually positive school experience. 			 Honors Program 		 Mark Girod | Gavin Keulks 

This thesis will explore how international adoptees, specifically Asian-American adoptees, often feel uncertain about their identity when it comes to ethnicity and belonging to a certain group. It will also focus on how this could change or be enhanced when adoptees visit their home country. This project will look at different stories of adoptees who have struggled with identity issues found in different scholarly resources focusing on this issue along with personal interviews and stories from other adoptees that I have met. Some of these people have returned to their home country, some have not. With these stories, identity issues can be analyzed and the idea of identity changing after visiting one’s birth country can be evaluated. In the end, I will write a section telling my own personal story of being an Asian-American adoptee in Oregon, the identity issues I have encountered, and what my trip back to China was like. 			 Honors Program 		 Maureen Dolan | Gavin Keulks 

Students don’t see the connection between math and the real world. Students are viewing math as a rigid set of rules instead of as a creative and exciting subject to explore. A few of the problems that are in traditional classrooms are: students having a fear of being publicly embarrassed, students memorizing methods instead of truly understanding the math , math problems not being relevant to students, and students not being engaged during class. A few methods and teaching strategies that can help solve these problems include: Gradual Release, Open Middle problems, and the 5 Practices of Discussion. By applying these strategies and tools to everyday math classrooms, math can become the intriguing and creative subject that it is meant to be. 			 Honors Program 		 Cheryl Beaver | Gavin Keulks 

Peterson in creating their Conlangs, such as Belter from the dystopian science fiction show The Expanse and Dothraki from the high fantasy series Game of Thrones. Belter serves as an excellent example of my end goal: while it is its own conlang, it has three different levels with each becoming increasingly affected, with the lightest affectation coming across as an accent that, on television, does not necessitate subtitles for its audience. Nick Farmer built the language by pulling from several languages and their structures and phonologies instead of starting from scratch and creating his own. Following this idea, I will create a sound system that will borrow from existing languages and are able to be “plugged in” and substituted for sounds in the “Standard American Dialect.” From that, I will create a step by step workbook in the style of David Allen Stern’s Acting with an Accent Series to guide other people with a working knowledge in the International Phonetic Alphabet in successfully being able to adopt the accent. My purpose with this project is twofold. The first to produce a fully functioning accent that can be replicated and distinguishable from other real-world accents. The second is to demonstrate how multiple distant cultures can come together into one 4 product. Similar to the Belter Conlang created by Nick Farmer for a fictitious demographic to show their diverse and far flung roots, my accent will act as a possible destination as people and accents become more interconnected and explore the intentional and unintentional effects of blending dialects. 			 Honors Program 		 David Janoviak | Gavin Keulks 

Recent studies suggest that nontraditional students are more likely to accept critical pedagogy in the classroom than traditional students. Interviews with professors and students at a public university also suggest that older students are more likely than younger students to be in favor of critical pedagogy. Students and professors seem to be comfortable with some aspects of critical pedagogy. 			 Honors Program 		 Peter Callero | Gavin Keulks 

Due to Norse culture being predominantly oral rather than written, there is limited documentation of early Norse activities by the Norse themselves. For most of this period, surviving records about Norse activity in Britain come from the Anglo-Saxons. Because a lot of early Norse interactions in the British Isles were raids on Christian monasteries, these Anglo-Saxon accounts painted the Norse as merciless murderers who wanted to punish Christians. However, this perception of Norse intent was inherently distorted and was clouded by misconceptions. As Norse people began to settle in Britain, these interactions fundamentally changed, and emerged from this continued contact was new conceptions of Anglo-Saxon and Norse identity. This research project explores the changes in Anglo- Saxon perceptions of identity as they confronted Norse identity through continued interactions with them. 			 Honors Program 		 Elizabeth Swedo | Gavin Keulks 

Our bodies are designed to move, and research has shown that sedentary lifestyles increase health risks. In addition to type 2 diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases, sedentary lifestyles can lead to premature mortality. Often times a sedentary activity such as prolonged sitting is overlooked, when in fact, sitting for long periods of time has a negative effect on health. The goal of this thesis is to research and spread awareness about the health risks involved with prolonged sitting to the students of Western Oregon University. In order to spread awareness, I have created and displayed posters supported by flyers throughout campus with information from my research on the topic. The posters address sedentary lifestyles as a problem and display what a sedentary lifestyle looks like. The flyers discuss the problem of prolonged sitting and potential solutions. Although there are posters and resources that already exist on the topic of sedentary lifestyles, I have created resources specific to the college student population in order to be more effective in spreading awareness to them. This is a widespread problem with serious consequences, yet simple fixes. This is an attempt to spread awareness to a population that includes individuals at a critical point in life who may not be informed about this issue. 			 Honors Program 		 William J.

One such way to participate is to donate money, resources or time to humanitarian aid organizations who can effectively utilize those resources to help those in need. However, humanitarian aid organizations and the general public are often only aware of general medical needs of the targeted population without much knowledge on gender specific health problems that arose from pre-existing patriarchal social structures (Mazurana, 2013). Systematic and intimate violence targeting women is one way patriarchal structures are maintained, particularly in the Middle East. These forms of violence often cause many health complications in women that are unaddressed by both healthcare institutions of those countries and by humanitarian aid organizations. The purpose of my thesis project is to bring awareness of these unaddressed health complications women face in the Middle East as well as propose some ideas of how to address them to both humanitarian aid organizations and to the general public, who donate to these organizations. I will accomplish this by composing a scholarly literature review of how violence effects women’s health and what humanitarian aid organizations can do to treat these complications with the resources they have. 			 Honors Program 		 Patricia Flatt | Gavin Keulks 

It considers both historical and current perspectives on knowledge about language. This thesis argues that there has yet been a critically research link on how language instruction is supported in the common core and the knowledge requirements of teachers. The rationale behind this study lies in exploring the between traditional pedagogical approach to language and the language requirements required by the current education standards, the Common Core. Through research spanning from Australia to the United States, I will explore how this disconnect came to existence and what steps can be taken to close the gap between teacher knowledge of language and their understanding of the required language skills of their students. Currently students are falling short of achieving the stepping blocks established by the state adopted standards largely due to misconceptions about what knowledge of language is required. 			 Honors Program 		 Cornelia Paraskavas | Gavin Keulks 

Many writers have portrayed alternate, magical worlds, but perhaps the most well-known example is Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland. But what happens when the magical world is even less magical than the real world? I wanted to answer that in my novel, Backwards, the first book of the Glass People trilogy. The book centers around Ava, a soul trapped in a mirrored version of the real world called the Noviscope. She stays connected to the living world through her newfound friend, a second grader named Lucy. As Lucy discovers that the Noviscope is a real place, she takes her chances following Ava down the rabbit hole, only to learn it is not a friendly place for a seven-year-old. Through Backwards, I aimed to explore how human relationships adapt and grow out of isolation. At the same time, I experimented with the narrative possibilities of a character who is removed from another character’s life while simultaneously omnipresent in it. In the reflective essay on this project, I discuss many aspects about the novel’s creation and what I discovered in the process of committing it to the page. 			 Honors Program 		 Katherine Schmidt | Gavin Keulks 

The present study sought to investigate and understand how the Gap Year fits in to the American high school and university contexts. High school counselors and university students were interviewed and surveyed in order to understand if the Gap Year is part of the post high school plan discourse. Results indicated that counselors and students had a positive attitude towards the Gap Year; however, academic discussions of it remained limited. Implications of this study suggest that a Gap year may be a worthy post -high school option to discuss, and it is perhaps an indication of a new life stage, Emerging Adulthood. Further research including longitudinal and case study data was proposed. 			 Honors Program 		 Sriram Khe | Gavin Keulks 

The power and speed of technology have created a world where information changes quickly, and new ideas can be distributed and adapted almost instantaneously. It has also resulted in inaccurate and misinformation which has to be sorted through and questioned critically (Murawski, 2014). Today it is so important that students learn critical thinking skills, so they can be both the inventors and the critics of the new information being put out. Yet with this issue arising, change still has not come. Organizations and initiatives that are involved in education reform (National Center on Education and the Economy, the American Diploma Project, the Aspen Institute) have brought attention to the need for students to think and/or reason critically. Content that once had to be drilled into students’ heads is now just a phone swipe away, but the ability to make sense of that information requires thinking critically about it. My thesis aims to address this problem by integrating the development of critical thinking into a Common Core-based literacy unit. I have created a literacy unit that will develop students’ critical thinking while still covering the required 5th grade Oregon Common Core Standards for English Language Arts. The central focus and learning objective in the unit all align with each other and the ELA state standards as well. These lessons use the concept of discrimination to engage students with the content as it is an authentic issue that can affect many of them. The main purpose of my project is to provide an example unit to show that a 6 classroom teacher can align the development of the critical thinking skills with common core standards they must teach. 			 Honors Program 		 Marie LeJeune | Gavin Keulks 

In early stages of adolescence, the effects of mental illness may have already begun to take effect or are beginning to develop. As a child goes through their early life without learning how to express and handle emotions in a healthy way, these effects can worsen. It has been shown that children greatly benefit from social and emotional learning in school as well as learning about mental illnesses early on to develop tools to monitor and aid in the regulation of emotions. As a child, I suffered from an undiagnosed anxiety disorder, and I would have benefited greatly from learning about emotions and knowing that the way I felt was manageable and not something to be pushed to the side. I created this book with children like me in mind, who think that it is “normal” to be nervous and scared all of the time and have no idea what to do with their overwhelming emotions. In my project, I will navigate the understandings of adolescent mental health and use this understanding to author and illustrate a children’s picture book centered around a little girl learning how to handle her generalized anxiety disorder through discovering tools and language to manage the symptoms she experiences. The completed book functions effectively in and out of a classroom as a tool for children to understand anxiety. This project also includes a reflection on the process of creating this book and the contextualization of this book in the genre of pediatric mental health issues and children’s literature. 			 Honors Program 		 Marie LeJeune | Gavin Keulks 

Past research has explored the mental/emotional, social, and physical impacts of food allergies in children; however, less is known about adult experiences. Regardless of age, individuals with severe allergies must modify their behaviors to prevent reactions and comfortably navigate life. As evidence suggests a connection between childhood food allergy and self-perception, it is unknown if these attitudes and behaviors contribute to their construction of adult identities. There is much to discover regarding the manifestation and development of allergic practices in adults, as well as the social influences responsible for them.

It is no secret that there are not many female directors in Hollywood and more often than not female directors are associated with romantic comedies and other “women’s” films. What makes Kathryn Bigelow unique among her demographic is that she makes action movies and war films which are typically considered to be men’s genres. As a female lover of film it is interesting to me to look at how Ms. Bigelow and her work are received and how that may differ from how male directors who operate within the same genre are viewed. Award-winning film-director Kathryn Bigelow is unique as a focus for a study on gender affected perceptions because she is a very prominent figurehead in the directorial industry, an industry that is almost entirely male. I have chosen Kathryn Bigelow as the focus for this among the few other successful female directors because she is arguably the most successful female director (being the only won to win both best director and best picture) and because she makes action films unlike the majority of her counterparts. By looking at a few of her films in addition to articles, interviews, reviews, and other media, I hope to find the various ways in which how she is viewed by society is gendered. In my research I will be looking for things such as: industries not accepting her ideas because she is a woman and questions and comments about her appearance rather than her films or ideas. 			 Honors Program 		 Shaun Huston | Gavin Keulks 

Firstly, with regard to the former, within the confines of reason or the intellect, there are several intellectual or rational or more broadly speaking plenty of rational modes or ways, including when it comes to familiarizing oneself with God. This involves idea, concept, grasping, state of mind, phenomena, and other modes where the mind consciously and intellectually discerns. This thesis will primarily address God through the rational mode of conception, or concept. Note that this selection amongst modes of reason is completely arbitrary. Secondly, with regard to the latter, within the confines of religious traditions, there is even more diversity than there is regarding modes of reason, again including and this time especially when it comes to familiarizing oneself with God. But for the definition of exoteric itself, it more so has to do with the beliefs and practices, the rituals and the stories—the culture, so to speak—of a certain religion, such that without the specifically religious culture the religion would lack an exoteric component and would not technically be a religion. For the purposes of this thesis, a Judeo-Christian God has been selected as the religious lens through which an examination will be conducted. This selection is not arbitrary at all: such a religious lens when it comes to God has an outstanding prominence in the world. Therefore, with regard to the means of reason, God’s familiarization via a Judeo-Christian concept of God will be addressed. 			 Honors Program 		 Ken Kirby | Gavin Keulks 

Her novels—charming, thought-provoking, and witty—have showcased numerous heroines whose unique personalities recommend them to a wide variety of readers. This exploration, in particular, focuses on the inner lives of Anne Elliot and Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonists from Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice. Through utilizing writing techniques such as free indirect discourse in these novels, Austen was an early pioneer in crafting characters whose innermost thoughts were accessible to her readers. In order to explore the development of these characters’ inner lives, I constructed a framework with which to examine the moments where they display characteristics of interiority. From analyzing instances of characters seeking solitude to them showing regret about past attitudes, items in this framework provide a structure that helps me to examine how these characters’ respective moments of interiority endear them to Austen’s readers. This analysis aims to encourage a broader discussion regarding the portrayal of characters’ interior lives in novels and the impact that such portrayals can have in forming connections with readers. 			 Honors Program 		 Thomas Rand | Gavin Keulks 

Across the United States school districts are facing severe budget cuts which, when paired with legislature such as the No Child Left Behind Act, are creating a learning environment void of creativity and spontaneity. John Dewey, the father of progressive education, believed that learning should not be marked by rote memorization, but rather should aspire to actively engage students in experience and learning that erased boundaries between subject areas and integrated daily life practices. This thesis addresses the question of whether or not it is possible for a typical classroom teacher in the public elementary school setting to implement an experiential education framework into academic curriculum through the administration of a mathematics unit. Using the backdrop of art, music, and cooking, students will develop the necessary skills and knowledge to authentically use fractions. 			 Honors Program 		 Steven Wojcikiewicz | Gavin Keulks 

With new research and technology, forest management has dramatically changed over the last few decades. In 1995, 16% of the US Forest Service’s budget was devoted to firefighting, in 2015 it was more than 50% of the budget, and estimates say that it could be as much as 70% of the budget by the year 2025 (Struzik, 238). This raise in cost is due in part to the lengthening of wildfire season. Over the last 40 years, the average fire season in the US has gone from 23 days long to an average of 116 days (Davis, p. 92). This compilation will review important literature related to forest management, explore fire management based on differing geological areas, assess how forest fires impact communities using the 2017 Milli Fire as an example, and interview professionals in the field of forest and fire management all in hopes to bring awareness, prevention, and increased social responsibility to readers. 			 Honors Program 		 Mark VanSteeter | Gavin Keulks 

More often than not, these retail investors turn to the expertise of financial intermediaries, such as stockbrokers or investment advisors. This paper will investigate the relationship between principal and agent as it pertains to the financial service industry. More specifically, the current ethical obligations that dictate stockbrokers’ practices will be examined and compared to proposed reforms. In the United States brokers have a legal and ethical requirement to recommend only “suitable” investments to their customers. This standard generates numerous conflicts of interest between brokerage firms and the customers they serve; the products that pay the highest commissions for the broker, may not be the best investment options for the customer. Currently, there are proposals to raise the standard to a fiduciary duty of care, in which recommendations are solely in the best interest of the client. In part one of this thesis, there will be a focus on the analysis of brokerage firms’ revenue streams and apparent conflicts of interest. This section will also look at the historic development of both suitability and fiduciary standard, as well as briefly discuss the current legislative development of ethical standards in the investment industry. In part two of this thesis, focus will be directed to the role of ethics in finance as a whole. Here, an analysis and comparison of various ethical theories and debates will be highlighted; primarily stemming from the neoclassical economic rationale of ethics and variations of agency theory. 			 Honors Program 		 Anna Mahony | Gavin Keulks 

In zoos, programs like these have been implemented as early as the 1950s (Hancocks, 2001). However, research on the effective methods of behavior change for the environment is few and far between, and may not always be taken into account in the development of some zoo education programs. This project will attempt to bridge this gap through an analysis of current research on empathy and pro-environmental behavior change. I will develop an improved day camp curriculum for incoming fifth grade children to not only teach them about animals and the environment, but to inspire pro-environmental behavior change within the children, based upon the research I conduct. I will be focusing on the Oregon Zoo as my model, because I have been involved at the Oregon Zoo for over eight years, and know the grounds extensively. With this background knowledge of the individual animals living in the zoo, I will be able to intertwine classroom activities with grounds tours and other animal experiences. Interpreting living collections is what attracts, inspires, and enables people of all ages to act positively for conservation (Esson & Moss, 2010). The end result of this project will include a literature review, a new curriculum that could be 5 implemented at the Oregon Zoo, along with activity resources for camp, and a bonus activity that could be done by any Oregon Zoo visitor. 			 Honors Program 		 Gareth Hopkins and James Dawson | Gavin Keulks 

Referred to as The Extrovert Ideal, the promotion of extroversion has impacted the American K-12 school system as well, creating educational settings ill-suited for introverted students and the way in which they learn. Although statistics surrounding the exact number of introverted individuals in the population remain inconclusive, many studies indicate that one-third, and up to one-half, of the population is introverted; inevitably, an educator will teach introverted students every year. This project seeks to explore ways in which introverted students in the elementary grades can be supported by their teachers. After contextualizing the conversation — providing the history of introversion as a psychological concept, an overview of modern Western perceptions of introversion, and a picture of the typical introverted student—a description and analysis of current educational trends in light of the needs of introverted students will follow, examining Cooperative Learning, Inquiry-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, Gamification, and Social Emotional Learning. The project concludes with a series of recommendations for differentiating the strategies with introverted students in mind, along with several additional recommendations, and an open letter to educators and parents of introverted students about implementing the topics discussed. 			 Honors Program 		 Cornelia Paraskevas | Gavin Keulks 

For this reason, it is often debated how to best construct an education system that will be most effective. Through this debate comes the need for reform to morph education systems to fit the changing times and the fluctuating educational needs produced by the progression of time. By identifying Finland as a leading nation in the education world and as something to strive for, we can compare it to the underperforming education system of the United States to explore where the differences lie and how they impact student success rates as shown on the Programme for International Student Assessment. Before diving into educational variations, we look first at a whole picture view of the two countries to gain an idea of the societal context in which to analyze the dissimilarities in their education systems, as well as a background of the ideological fundamentals that form the foundation of their school structures. After gaining a deeper understanding of the social features and common beliefs surrounding education, the reform movements and current education systems of the two countries will be compared side by side, leading up to the identification of areas of Finnish success that can be modified to meet the needs of the United States. 			 Honors Program 		 Robert Hautala | Gavin Keulks 

It was predicted that when the diagnosis is known there will be more negative attitudes towards the individual with Asperger’s. It is also predicted participants will have more positive attitudes if they have experience or knowledge with Asperger’s or autism. There were 39 participants from Western Oregon University. Twenty-six were female and 13 were male (Mage=22.4, SD=6.56). Participants read a short profile that described an individual with Asperger-like behaviors and social encounters. The Multidimensional Attitudes Scale of Attitudes Towards Persons with Disabilities (Findler, Vilchinsky, &Werner, 2007) was used to measure negative affect, cognition, and behavior. Results concluded that when the Asperger label is unknown, there are significantly higher negative effects and significantly more negative behaviors. Negative cognition was higher for those who did not know the label, but the statistic did not reach significance. Regression analyses were ran to examine if experience had an association with affect, cognition, and behavior, but did not reach significance. These results show that knowing a person’s disability may create a better understanding of behaviors and, therefore, less negative attitudes towards the individual. Having experience with Asperger’s or autism does not associate with higher attitudes. 			 Honors Program 		 Ethan McMahan | Gavin Keulks 

This paper will discuss programs such as "Scared Straight" and anger reduction groups and their effect on reducing recidivism rates. Restorative justice will also be examined and whether or not the emphasis should be placed on rehabilitation or punishment in the field of juvenile justice. I will also be examining the effectiveness of practices in the juvenile department such as risk assessments and EPICS, which is Effective Practices in Community Supervision.

The truth is that every single teacher will have an EB in their class at some point in their career, and for most teachers that will be many more than just one student. I want to explore how the existing strategies that are known to be successful are being used by teachers who do not have training in ESOL and whether they can be made more accessible and seem more possible for these teachers who do not have a background in second language education. To do this, I will first examine what these most current strategies are. Through this examination, I am going to determine where the strategies can be modified to be accessible and realistically implemented by teachers who have less experience with ESOL or bilingual education. With these modified strategies, I will create the Sheltered Strategies Toolkit, a website that will show examples of how these tools can be implemented in the mainstream classroom. The Sheltered Strategies Toolkit will make it clear how the modified instructional methods can be put to use by all teachers, and will give me invaluable experience and knowledge as I gain a deeper understanding of the effective ESOL practices and how they can be used in my own future classrooms. 			 Honors Program 		 Jessica Dougherty | Gavin Keulks 

There were 36 participants, 26 female and 10 male with a mean age of M = 20.25 and SD = 2.65 years. Using a 7-point Likert-type scale, participants were asked to rate a series of items that pertained to their current mood scaling from (1) meaning not at all to (7) meaning very strongly (Macht & Dettmer, 2006). For the first day, participants recorded their mood levels after consumption of either chocolate, apples, or water at four intervals: 1, 5, 30, and 60 minutes after eating. For the next two days, participants recorded their mood levels at 30 and 60 minutes only. Using a mixed factorial ANOVA, short term results were not statistically significant, indicating that palatability had no effect. Then, using a second mixed factorial ANOVA, long term results showed a significant result for time (F(1) = 5.713, p < .05, η² = .023). This result shows that moods, regardless of food, decreased over time. There were no significant results for the time by group interaction for long term effects. These results indicate that dark chocolate and apples do not differentially affect mood level over time.

Although there exist simple cases in which it is easy to determine which scores should be kept and which scores should be dropped, there are many more complex cases that require an algorithm to solve. I will be discussing different ideas for how to easily determine the best set of scores to keep, why some methods do not work, and will go into detail about an efficient algorithm. 			 Honors Program 		 Breeann Flesch | Gavin Keulks 

The clothing production industry is a major contributor to these problems. This project focuses on sustainable fashion. After giving a brief background on the climate crisis, it analyzes what fast fashion is doing in terms of the harm it has on the environment, focusing on common negative practices in clothing production. The discussion then turns to the environmental impacts of sustainable fashion, examples of business strategies, various sustainable clothing brands, and methods in clothing production that can sustain the environment. The last topic is the positive aspects of building a sustainable fashion brand. The desire is to continually highlight the positives of making clothing design and production sustainable to encourage companies to follow suit. The end goal is to provide a compelling argument as to why a company should integrate sustainability into its business. In order to make the greatest impact on various fashion companies, they may be sent the end product created in an effort to communicate a way for them to be more environmentally friendly while reducing the research that the companies would have to do as much as possible. The goal of this is to make the incorporation of sustainability easier for companies. Although it is unrealistic to expect to overhaul any company's production methods with this work, the hope is that this research can enact some positive change in the world. 			 Honors Program 		 Emily Plec | Gavin Keulks 

Cisgender is a term used to describe people who identify with the sex they were assigned at birth, and transgender is a term used to describe people who identify with a gender different from the sex they were assigned at birth. This research will examine the history of the oppression that this community has faced with a focus on the current situation and an outlook for the future. Literature on the topic will be reviewed as well as a discussion of current legal changes affecting trans people. The goal of this paper is to bring to light a community that is not well-understood and to expose the oppression that occurs within it. The ambition of this paper is to raise awareness, with the hope of reducing future oppression and discrimination towards trans and gender non-conforming people.
Although many of those in the LGBTQ community share these experiences and feelings, those who are not a part of the transgender community may not be fully aware of the injustices they experience. The purpose of this paper would be to inspire a discussion of the complexities of gender and how living authentically can come with a price. Ultimately, the goal is to bring awareness to this serious issue, and to inspire change in areas of oppression and marginalization in the United States. 			 Honors Program 		 CM Hall | Gavin Keulks 

That’s less than half of the country. When the members of Portal Theatre, including myself, shared our own personal experiences with sex education, we found one thing in common: we were all unprepared. We were unprepared for sex, queer sex, consent, sexual health like menstration, STI’s, and yeast infections, etc. We all found there was something in our sex education that was lacking. To respond to the poor sex education of the United States, and in various countries around the world, we decided to share our experiences by creating a play. The play explores seven different topics in sex education; periods, first time having sex, sex educators, masturbation, abstinence, consent/assault, and bad sex advice. Using a variety of different theatrical styles, the two actors, Lindsay Spear and Phoebe Thompson explore how their sex education in school failed them in sometimes funny sometimes dramatic ways. This play will inform, entertain, and address the real experiences of people affected by bad sex education, to which the majority of the US is affected by. By analyzing the process of creating this show and touring it across different Fringe Festivals in Canada, I will break down the creative process of devising and building a show from the ground up. I will explain the process of researching, writing with other people, and the hardships of the creative and touring process. Throught this play and reflection, I hope this thesis encourages you to look into the sex education system in your own country, or gives you the courage to create your own show on a topic you are passionate about. 			 Honors Program 		 Kent Neely | Gavin Keulks 

One major development in the last decade is the ability to report problems such as potholes, malfunctioning lights, broke street signs, or graffiti in real time with exact GPS coordinates from a smartphone. Many cities and towns have contracted out to companies to build mobile apps that allow their citizens to report problems wherever they are. These applications often come at hefty prices. The focus of my thesis will be to develop an open source version of a reporting app that is being sold by SeeClickFix Inc. This will allow towns, cities, businesses, and colleges to adopt a real-time issue reporting application while minimizing costs. I will also discuss why adopting open source software can be beneficial. 			 Honors Program 		 Mitch Fry | Gavin Keulks 

What we mean by authentic, however, is not readily accessible. An exploration of proposed authenticity-theories can help reveal the merits and impediments contained within those theories--and may ultimately suggest an Authentic-metric. However, such an analysis leads, counter intuitively, to the jeopardization of the term. We can suggest, in virtue of our analysis, that formal inconsistencies within the Authentic-metric promote a more elusive aesthetic discourse than otherwise necessary. By endorsing direct aesthetic discourse we can remove the obscured lens of Authenticity and begin encountering works as they are truly presented. 			 Honors Program 		 Mark Perlman | Gavin Keulks 

The incidence rate of new dementia cases in our country is increasing due to the large amount of people nearing the age of retirement. This means that more people are at risk of the disease than ever before. Dementia is becoming a major public health concern due to the intense effect it has on society, the patients, their family, and their friends. The mental health of our seniors is becoming just as important as their physical health. Dementia affects the brain in ways that are not yet fully understood. We do know that mental stimulation plays an important role in slowing the development of cognitive impairment diseases such as dementia, and can have as big of an affect as physical activity, a healthy diet, and genetics.1 Care facilities do their best to address all aspects of health for their residents. Some even go as far as to have specialists on hand to attend to specific needs such as a nutritionist, care physician, or an activities coordinator. Unfortunately not as much attention is given to the cognitive health aspect of health yet. Quality senior care has always been important, but as the average age of our population continues to increase, the need for a dementia prevention program increases as well. This project includes information and statistics on dementia, the effects it has on those afflicted, and on society as a whole. This information was used to create a dementia prevention program in a senior care facility with a collection of mental stimulation based activities such as jewelry making, painting, board games, and card making. By getting seniors involved in craft-based activities, their brain has to work differently in order to complete the task at hand. This type of stimulation is important to maintain mental health by having a positive effect on brain functioning. 			 Honors Program 		 Emily Vala-Haynes | Gavin Keulks 

With this project, I aim to create a video game that will encourage players to temporarily cease negative thought patterns and engage them in new and positive behavior- building mechanics. This will include personalized messages of self-affirmations, which have been proven to boost mood and improve thinking patterns within the brain. Taking research into account, Dawn will seek to provide a thoughtful and interactive interface reflective of healthy social behavior, becoming a unique experience seen rarely in the online gaming community. While interacting within a virtual environment, players are invited to create their own positive affirmations and have the option of sharing them with the world via an online interface. The goal of this project is to create a virtual space and video game where players may be able to escape negative thoughts and will be given a place where they can think positively, clear their mind, and simply relax. 			 Honors Program 		 Breeann Flesch | Gavin Keulks 

For today’s parents, this not only means that an entirely new system is being used to teach their children math than when they went to school themselves, but that their children are learning a completely new way of looking and dealing with math altogether. The progression of alterations made to standards has led to a more content-oriented curriculum, which aims toward deeper student understanding of the same math concepts taught years ago. Current standards point their focus away from rote memorization of integer operation facts (e.g. times tables), and toward mastery comprehension of the “why” and “how” of mathematical reasoning. Students are being taught to become mathematical thinkers rather than mechanized reiterators.
According to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE), academic content standards are “statements of what students are expected to know in particular subjects and be able to do at specified grade levels” (ODE, 2010, p.1). These expectations provide teachers with a general guideline to which they orient their lessons throughout the year, and which they use to assess student learning. 			 Honors Program 		 Breeann Flesch | Gavin Keulks 

Research has found that though these programs are becoming more popular, they are often implemented in areas of higher socioeconomic class. Low-income school districts struggle to find staff with adequate time to develop school garden programs. This project will help to open the doors for more rural areas to host school garden programs. Through an analysis of current research, compilation of a resource bundle, and creation of a guidebook, this project will provide educators with the tools that are necessary to implement a well-integrated garden. Where higher socioeconomic areas might be able to afford a garden coordinator salary, lower socioeconomic areas will be able to utilize this toolkit to self-start a well-integrated program. I will be focusing on my hometown elementary school, Taft Elementary, as a model school. First, I will be gathering resources on outdoor classroom management, lesson and curricula planning, and a Text set for literacy integration. From there I will be designing guidebook that will contain tips for seasonal care of a garden in the harsh climate of the Oregon Coast, calendars for planting in the garden, and many more sources that teachers can use to implement a school garden program. I will also be analyzing current research on the topic to make well informed decisions about resources to include. 			 Honors Program 		 Adele Schepige | Gavin Keulks 

The hypotheses were that females would react more positively than males to having a child and that individuals would react more positively to having a child when thinking about healthy children as opposed to children with learning disabilities. Additionally, an interaction hypothesis was made which stated that female responses would be more negatively affected by thinking about children with learning disabilities than male responses. The experiment was set up for participants to view a video of parents interacting with their children. The children in the videos were either healthy or diagnosed with learning disabilities. Afterwards, participants rated how much they looked forward to parenthood. Data was analyzed with a 2 x 2 Analyses of Variance. No main effect for sex or video viewed was found nor was an interaction effect found. Implications from this study were discussed such as how females and males view parenthood similarly in college and how strongly opinions about parenthood are formed in college students. 			 Honors Program 		 Jaime Cloud | Gavin Keulks 

With this shift, computer science curricula have not always been introduced in the classroom at a similar pace (Yadav, Hong, & Stephenson, 2016). With the overwhelming amount of curriculum that needs to be taught and lack of resources at the district level, adding non-required curricula such as computer science and coding to the schedule can be difficult. There simply is not enough time in the day to teach it all. This project bridges the gap between computer science curriculum and the classroom, by showing how it overlaps with the Oregon Common Core State Standards. I have created a unit that teaches coding to fifth graders. It includes specific learning objectives aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. These lessons teach coding using a scaffolded approach based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. This project provides teachers with a small unit for their fifth-grade class that will teach coding and that aligns with the standards that are required to be taught, which brings the computer science and elementary mathematics education worlds together. The existing resources to teach coding lack alignment to Oregon Common Core State Standards, so the goal of this project was to add alignment in order to make teaching computer science curriculum accessible for the classroom teacher. 			 Honors Program 		 Rachel Harrington and Breeann Flesch | Gavin Keulks 

Chronic pain is defined as any pain lasting longer than 12 weeks. Over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, and the health care costs and productivity losses approach $635 billion annually (Institute of Medicine Committee on Advancing Pain Research and Education, 2011). The lack of clear quality standards for ethical/legal use of opiates, the presence of individuals abusing the system, and the lack of updated, and involved public policy make finding a doctor willing to treat chronic pain quite difficult... 			 Honors Program 		 Sara Budge | Gavin Keulks 

However, for speakers of nonstandard dialects of English in America, language can be complicated. Many American students who fall into this category are taught, explicitly or implicitly, from a very young age, that the way they speak is different, wrong, and should be changed. With the growing number of Hispanic Americans currently in the United States, there is a nonstandard dialect which is becoming increasingly relevant: Chicano English. However, there seems to be a gap between the number of speakers of Chicano English in America, and the frequency with which this dialect is represented in literature, specifically within children’s literature. Following the recommendations of several online sources and academic experts, more than 50 children’s books that reportedly contained representations of nonstandard dialects were selected as a representative sample for initial screening. This preliminary analysis revealed that only twelve of the books actually contained representations of nonstandard dialects. Subsequent detailed analysis determined which nonstandard dialects including Chicano English were represented in this sample of children’s literature as well as the frequency with which these dialects were present. The results showed that no representations of Chicano English were found in the children’s books that were studied; however, the dialect was present in some young adult literature which was added to the analysis for comparison. The implication is that the Chicano English dialect may be considered less established and/or less prestigious than other nonstandard dialects of American English. The research and analysis, outlined below, show evidence of this, as well as potential explanations for this gap between the number of speakers of this dialect, and the lack of its representation in children’s literature. 			 Honors Program 		 Robert A.

Previous work with reproductive pheromones in lower vertebrates has focused on the red -sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis. Studies have shown that this species has a female attractiveness pheromone that elicits courtship behavior in males. Chemical analysis of this pheromone suggests that the composition of the female attractiveness pheromone varies among garter snake species. This study conducted trailing experiments to investigate whether methyl ketones contained in the skin lipids of red -spotted garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus, are responsible for eliciting male trailing behavior ; hypothesizing that these cues, as observed with the red -sided garter snake, serve as the sexual attractiveness pheromone for this species. Males snake were tested on a y-maze with four different treatments: 1) a blank maze, 2) trails laid down by male red -spotted garter snakes, 3) trails laid down by female red -spotted garter snakes, and 4) trails composed of methyl ketone extracts from female red -spotted garter snakes. Males were found to actively trail both female trails and methyl ketone extract trials, supporting the role of methyl ketones as the sexual attractiveness pheromone for this species. 			 Honors Program 		 Michael LeMaster | Gavin Keulks 

This breakdown provides an easily identifiable and comparable rating for any observed river. However, in oversimplifying the health of streams, this index score falls short in the task of capturing hydrologic systems as dynamic systems in terms of river health. With GIS, all of the components that go into the OWQI can be displayed, both validating the index scores each river is given and providing a map that allows users to actively track the state of each river on an annual temporal scale. 			 Honors Program 		 Melinda Shimizu | Gavin Keulks 

While enriching many lives in unprecedented ways, the Internet has also introduced new opportunities for harmful practices such as seen within the realm of modern slavery, and particularly within the sex trafficking industry. The goals of this thesis are to understand the ways in which traffickers utilize the Internet to recruit women and girls for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and to explore the vital role of technologists in creating safer online spaces. Social media platforms, employment opportunity pages, and the deep Web are areas of vital importance in these considerations, and they will be given particular attention here. The Internet has played a role in entrapping many of the tens of millions of people currently enslaved around the globe, but it is also providing the framework to recover victims as well as identify responsible parties. This thesis will analyze the online recruitment of women and girls into the sex trafficking industry to allow for a clearer understanding of the dangers and possibilities that technology has introduced, with the hopes of contributing to the larger humanitarian goals of combatting human trafficking and creating safer and more mindful software products and systems. 			 Honors Program 		 Sriram Khé | Gavin Keulks 

The paper begins by exploring the historical contexts of both Stanislavski’s System and Orphan Black before narrowing in focus to discuss the ‘outward-in’ approach of external character creation, its importance and relevance in the field of acting, and its application in Maslany’s performances. Stanislavski’s basic concepts of external characterization as realized through an actor’s stylistic, physical, vocal, and tempo-rhythmic choices are discussed, with examples of practical application drawn from specific scenes of Maslany’s work in Orphan Black. Intentional aberrations and breaks from Stanislavski’s theories are discussed, as are a number of curious manipulations of these theories based on the inherent medium, premise, and circumstances of the given drama. The essay concludes by examining the prevalence of these theories in Maslany’s work, arguing that these often-undervalued avenues of external character exploration are more important to character manifestation than the inner psycho-technique for which Stanislavski is often remembered. Mastery and manipulation of these theories are what enable masterful, distinct, specific, honest, and living performances, like those given by Maslany in Orphan Black. 			 Honors Program 		 deChatelet | Gavin Keulks 

While this project initially began as a fantasy novel, I quickly changed over to horror, where I felt as though I would be able to contribute to the overall academic discussion on the genre. A lot of time, hard work, frustration, excitement, and lessons learnt went in to this project, and I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish despite the difficulties I have faced in these past two years. This project addresses the concept of visual communication within the Gothic horror genre as well as the deeper genre conventions and themes that make Gothic horror what it is. This research has resulted in a complete analysis of my creative inspirations, and full review of the current literature on this topic, a full narrative outline, and a partial storyboarding of the graphic novel over a two-year period. “Blood of the Iron Woods” is the tale of three sisters who travel into the woods to escape for a while after their father’s death. This thesis will address all the core components of the horror genre, how we experience and enjoy horror, and why Gothic horror is so relevant to today’s youth. 			 Honors Program 		 Lars Söderlund | Gavin Keulks 

Individuals are primed to identify with the groups to which they belong, and thus intellectually classify those unlike themselves as "the other." Our social inclination toward "othering" is intractable and ubiquitous across cultures. It breeds conditions of chronic inequality and marginality, reinforcing the ethos of xenophobia that perpetuates and undergirds human atrocities such as war, slavery, and genocide. Through a creative project — a webcomic entitled Blasphemy — I address and illustrate how othering behavior can manifest in the world. Armed with the knowledge that powerful lessons can be gleaned from the arts, the goal is to raise awareness of othering and its deleterious impacts on individuals, and the wider society. Blasphemy co-mingles narrative and visual image in a long-form, serialized webcomic leveraging my study of art and psychology and engaging my own yearning to lessen the suffering of those who find themselves marginalized or targets of discrimination. As is common practice in webcomic production, each update will advance the story until the full story arc reaches its satisfying conclusion. Given the length and nature of Blasphemy as a complete narrative published in series, the full execution of the project logically spans beyond the time scope of this thesis. 			 Honors Program 		 Gregory Poulin | Gavin Keulks 

The population of Spanish - speakers is increasing every year and it has become a coveted privilege to learn a second language at an early age. People of all ages fluent in more than one language are considered better prepared and qualified for living in this globalized society. In addition, obesity rates have been rising as young adults and children are not receiving the physic al education and activity they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The hours spent in school are short for providing a quality education inclusive of a wide - range of information. Many schools have begun to combine subject areas, using an interdisciplinary approach, in order to cover all of the content expected. An interdisciplinary approach to teaching is when “two or more subjects are integrated with the goal of fostering enhanced learning in each subject area” (Barton et al. , 2000 , p. 20 ) . Physical Education class is an excellent time to acquire knowledge from other content areas, as neurogenesis , the development of new cells, is happening and the whole body is engaged in learning, especially for second language acquisition. This project combines Spanish and physical education by providing a framework for a horizontal curriculum that integrates Spanish immersion and physical education in order to create a dynamic environment for the learning and application of both second language and fundamental motor skills. 			 Honors Program 		 Maria Dantas-Whitney | Gavin Keulks 

It will also explore the cognitive benefits to teaching foreign languages to younger students through research from educational journals and texts concerning bilingual education. The many benefits of teaching elementary school students a foreign language in public schools should persuade school districts to incorporate mandatory foreign language classes. 			 Honors Program 		 Carmen Caceda | Gavin Keulks 

Born on January 8th, 1947 as David Robert Jones, his climb to fame was not easy, nor was his fight for stardom and his struggle with sanity through addiction. Key moments in his life had a profound impact on the music he created at the time, and his life and music cannot be easily separated from each other. Through this two-act play, I will take the audience through an array of pivotal moments in David Bowie’s life, examining just how much those moments influence the music created at that same time. It examines the messy and intricate relationships he held with people, influencing themes and personas that he created which became monumental in music history. This play will span from moments as a young adult who is searching for fame, a successful star with strained relationships and addiction problems, and a retired musician looking to create for no one but himself. 			 Honors Program 		 Lars Soderlund | Gavin Keulks 

The most common individual, environmental, and task constraints seen in elders were designed to create a recommended set of movement plans to help maintain motor performance for each skill. With the average age constantly increasing in the United States, more people are living longer, meaning that people must be able to maintain their motor performance for longer periods of time, to ensure continued mobility. The set of movement plans was separated into three categories based on the individual, environmental, and task constraints seen in the majority of situations. There are recommendations of how each constraint can be manipulated, so the constraints that apply most to an individual can be used to produce the most efficient movement. This can be beneficial for many elderly people because it can act as their personal mobility plan to improve and enhance motor performance. It can also help benefit younger people as it can be used as a proactive way to transition into a new stage of life. It is hoped that creating these movement plans will give elders more options to enhance their motor performance to maintain mobility. Additionally, by basing the movement plans on the DST, awareness can be raised about its effectiveness, so that more people can understand and apply it to various aspects of their lives. 			 Honors Program 		 Robert Hautala | Gavin Keulks 

Service dogs provide a variety of different services and emotional support to their handlers. Additionally, specific breeds of service dogs must have distinct qualities, be particular sizes, and have specific temperaments to do their jobs adequately. Service dogs are defined in the ADA as any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. To most of the population, basic knowledge about service dogs is not well known, and few researchers have focused on service dogs regarding the knowledge individuals have and the specific types of service dogs used by people with disabilities. Without this basic knowledge, people are unsure of the proper ways to interact with service dogs. My goal was to survey a sample of the population to examine their prior knowledge about service dogs, and then ask them to rate three different breeds of dogs (Yorkshire Terrier, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull) on their ability to be a service dog. With the hope to bridge the gap between the increasing number of service dogs being used and the knowledge that comes along with interactions between individuals with and without service dogs. There were significant differences between each dog breeds. 			 Honors Program 		 Deborah Brannan | Gavin Keulks 

Specifically, educated white heterosexual males are overrepresented in leadership positions, and characteristics traditionally expected of leaders come more naturally to that demographic. This narrow paradigm is problematic, because it creates barriers to leadership for individuals who do not identify as educated, white, heterosexual, or male. Moreover, it does not acknowledge leadership as diverse and malleable. Individuals who do not identify with the characteristics acknowledged as leaderly by the tradition paradigm, but who have potential to be strong leaders tend not to seek leadership roles. Undergraduate college students who seek to create altruistic change, but lack the identities associated with the traditional leadership paradigm have much to gain from a paradigm shift toward a more inclusive idea of leadership. This thesis seeks to address this issue and opportunity through developing a leadership workshop focused on instilling the belief that leadership should be fit to the individual, not the other way around. The Anyone Can Lead workshop, developed through this project, creates a space for diverse undergraduate students to reconceptualize leadership. The workshop is built on the values of servant leadership and guides participants in discovering the unique version of leadership that will allow them to create positive change. 			 Honors Program 		 Aislinn Addington | Gavin Keulks 

They are responsible for saving lives and treating infections that could have been damaging or life-threatening in their absence. In short, we have become dependent on antibiotics. Now, however, antibiotic resistance in microbial infections has caused antibiotics, our “miracle drugs”, to diminish in their effectiveness. This, in turn, has the potential to greatly impact the health of the entire human population. Aspiring to become a doctor concerned with both the health of the general public and myself, I seek to understand this issue in its entirety and aim to produce a resource so that others can do the same. Through the use of scientific articles and other scholarly materials, I will examine, analyze, and compile research to determine what has caused antibiotic resistance, and what can be done to prevent it from worsening. It is crucial that we understand the seriousness of this issue and the role it plays in our lives. By creating a resource that thoroughly explains the different aspects of antibiotic resistance, ranging from its origins and current antibiotic resistant infections to strategies that may help stop it, I hope to provide an opportunity for the general public to become aware and well-informed about this issue. 			 Honors Program 		 Bryan Dutton | Gavin Keulks 

And while middle school marks a time of transition and development for many students, it also marks an important transition in mathematics. Every student in the district will transition from general mathematics courses into domain -specific courses, and it is critical that both teachers and students ask the question, "Why?" in order to facilitate meaningful learning. As a teacher, the answers to this question should inform every aspect of one's practice. These answers should not only be defined by a personal philosophy of teaching, but they should also be informed by and evident of theories of learning in their application. In order to defend my own teaching practices, this thesis is a presentation of my personal philosophy of teaching, as informed by learning theories, followed by a detailed analysis of how my teaching practice was evident of these theories in application. Specifically, this analysis examines a sixth grade mathematics unit that I planned and taught to 28 students within the Salem -Keizer School District. 			 Honors Program 		 Rachel Harrington | Gavin Keulks 
