Climb Above Addiction Image 059
No full textThe Climb Above Addiction cluster project addresses the need for awareness, support, and education for those affected by addiction. The event component of the project, similar to the Relay for Life but with climbing rather than walking a track, raised money to support a scholarship for the Plymouth House recovery program. This photo was taken at the event. 7th from left, Maranda Searleshttps://digitalcommons.plymouth.edu/climbabove/1058/thumbnail.jp

Flooding and Paleoclimatology of Central NH Wetlands
Get PDFEvery watershed has its own local potential for flooding, but the scale of regional events affect multiple watersheds. By examining paleoflood records of regional events, we can determine the frequency of regional floods and improve resilience to them at the local scale. Selecting the right management style for a particular wetland is important for maintaining a functioning and sustainable environment. Increased development or unsustainable management approaches can lead to changes in local hydrology and increased erosion of the shore, enhancing sediment build up on the lake/wetland beds and causing eutrophication at an increasing rate. This project aims to enhance community preparedness by identifying the frequency of high magnitude flooding over several thousands of years in central New Hampshire. Multiple sediment cores have been extracted from two flood-sensitive wetlands, Quincy Bog in Rumney, NH and McLane Bog located on Newfound Lake. I have been working on these cores in the laboratory to determine evidence of flood deposits through calculating water content, loss on ignition (organic matter), magnetic susceptibility, and particle size distribution. Using Carbon-14 and Lead-210 isotopes, layers within each core have been dated and correlated to determine whether flooding events are local or regional, overlapping at both sites
Snapshot Analysis of the Abundance and Community Composition of Terrestrial Invertebrates in Three Tributaries of the Beebe River in Campton, NH
Get PDFRiparian areas are biologically rich ecosystems and invertebrates represent a large proportion of the diversity within them and perform various ecological functions. Benthic aquatic macroinvertebrates have been well studied in relation to their availability as a prey item for brook trout. However, terrestrial allochthonous inputs can account for most of their diet during summer months. Our study looked at three tributaries of the Beebe River in Campton, NH. Two of the tributaries have riparian areas that have been logged and clear cut in recent years and have had more human influence. The third tributary has very little human disturbance. We split the tributaries into zones depending on their riparian zone types. We then quantified the abundance and community composition of terrestrial riparian arthropods in each of the tributaries using pit-fall traps. This allowed us to compare within and between tributaries to see if the differing types of riparian zones has influence on the types and quantity of terrestrial macroinvertebrates that live there. We used chi-square analysis and ANOVA to compare them statistically. Preliminary analyses suggest that there is a significant difference between the sites as well as between riparian zones
Creating Cruelty-Free Syllabi
No full textOften, the policies and procedures on syllabi are written like edicts from a Grand High Executioner. Where does this desire to scare students come from? What does it say about our philosophy of teaching when we begin a course with Thou shalt not…? A syllabus may need to be many things, but it does not need to be authoritarian and abusive. If we assume that our students are human beings, that our job is to build knowledge and conversations with them, and that every one of our students ought to feel welcome in our classroom, then the syllabus can stop being an instrument of abuse and can become an instrument of engagement and even, perhaps, liberation — liberation for us as teachers at least as much as for students. This session will explore ways to achieve that, from simple adjustments of language to more radical and experimental approaches
More Than Just Ice-Cream Socials: How Residential Life & Dining Services Support Student Success
No full textOver the past 2-3 years, Residential Life has undergone significant programmatic changes. This session will explore all of the areas in which Residential Life & Dining Services supports student success through the First Year Residential Experience, Community Development Model, and introduction of Defined Communities
Envisioning the Future and Purpose of Graduate Council
No full textGraduate Council members (all graduate program coordinators), as well as those involved and/or interested in supporting and teaching our graduate students, will be engaging in a facilitated discussion about the future and purpose of Graduate Council. One option may be as a vital forum for communicating proposed changes to services and programs. A proactive dialog will assist faculty and service personnel alike in meeting the unique needs of our graduate students! Come share your thoughts, and cast your vote
