Working for Tomorrow
No full textThrough portraiture photography, Working for Tomorrow tells stories of Linfield University students. Employing a strategic communications writing style, this project highlights students\u27 unique career goals and the work they do to pave a path towards the future. Linfield serves as a thematic connection, uniting these narratives. Images were captured using a canon EOS 60D with an 85 mm lens. Explore how today\u27s efforts shape tomorrow\u27s ambitions
Forensics Debate Showcase
No full textThe Linfield Forensics team will present a demonstration debate on the motion, “Scientists should bring back the wooly mammoth.” Please join us for a lively debate about de-extinction that should be interesting enough to make a dire wolf howl
SNACK Program
No full textThe Student Nutrition and Activity Clinic for Kids (SNACK) program is a collaboration of health professionals, interns, and community partners working to improve the health and wellness of children and youth in Yamhill County. SNACK provides services to 6–18-year-olds and their families to facilitate lifestyle changes supporting healthy eating and active living.

The Effect of a QCR7 Gene Deletion on Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Lifespan
Full text linkTo explore aging in yeast, the yeast deletion collection was biochemically screened for changes in growth by staining cells with fluorescent viability dyes. The QCR7 gene was identified as a potential modifier of yeast lifespan. Qcr7 is a protein component of Complex III in the electron transport chain localized in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. The chronological lifespan assay was used to compare the lifespan of qcr7Δ and wild-type yeast cells. Through four rounds of testing, qcr7Δ yeast cells are seen to extended lifespan. Lifespan data from Trypan Blue staining of the cells were analyzed utilizing Python. Initial work focused on developing an image analysis program that identifies all yeast cells from microscope images based on edge detection. Versions of the Canny Edge detection program were utilized to identify the total number of cells. Our aim is to combine edge detection with contrast analysis using a binary mask to identify dead cells (stained blue) from live cells (clear in the microscope image). Characterization of Qcr7 will further link the role of mitochondrial function to yeast aging processes, and automated live-dead cell counting will contribute to the efficiency of analyzing yeast lifespan data for this project and future projects

Native American Rising Generations Foundation: Strengthening the Community
No full textIn communities where stories, songs, and ceremonies pass from one generation to the next, culture is not just heritage—it is a lifeline. This project focuses on the development and execution of a strategic promotional campaign for the Native American Rising Generations Foundation, a nonprofit organization serving Native youth and families in Southwest Washington.The campaign included a complete redesign of the foundation’s visual identity—comprising a new logo, brand guidelines, and a modernized website—as well as the creation of targeted promotional materials and a digital content strategy. Emphasis was placed on culturally respectful storytelling, youth-centered messaging, and enhanced outreach via social media platforms.
The project drew on strategic principles from coursework in Graphic Design (ARTS 246), Principles of Public Relations(JAMS 347), and Topics in Digital Art (ARTS 342). A multidisciplinary approach combined digital media production with brand communication strategy to establish a cohesive and engaging public image for the organization. The campaign sought to amplify the foundation’s mission of cultural preservation and youth empowerment while expanding its visibility within both local and digital communities

99 Bottles Of Chicha On the Wall: A Stylistic Analysist Of Unprovenanced Andean Ceramics In a Small Academic Museum
No full textThis thesis presents an archaeological analysis of a ceramic collection in the Linfield Anthropology Museum containing vessels from the Moche and Chimu cultures of the north coast of Peru. A stylistic analysis was utilized to understand the artistic decisions made throughout the creation of each vessel. This collection, as with many Moche and Chimu collections, was most likely gathered through illegal looting practices. As a result, many archaeologists are hesitant to work with such collections as they lack necessary and informative data on site context. This thesis provides an example of how these types of collections may still be analyzed and understood through alternative methods, such as through an analysis of molding techniques and decorative styles. Determining whether these cultures had similarities in styles indicates cultural continuity through numerous outside pressures. As the political system slowly crumbled and various outside pressures imposed hardship onto the people, small differences in ceramic style formed. However, a closer look into the materials and technology available to artisans indicate that substantial similarities still existed as the Moche culture evolved into the Chimu culture. Finally, this analysis demonstrates that cultures do not disappear but instead adapt and change in response to outside pressures
