Cultural Competence and Empathy for Japanese in America
No full text2021 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Much attention today focuses on the journey of immigrants to America, but less popular is acculturation and adaption that marks immigrant's new lives here. This paper focuses particularly on the story of Japanese immigrants in America. They face barriers such as language acquisition, resource awareness, and Socio- cultural difference native- born Americans have never experienced. Drawing on the history of political interaction between Japan and America, English language acquisition, and intercultural communication styles, I look at struggles and supports for them in the US. I finish by asking what we can do as individuals to be supportive to Japanese in our community."https://youtu.be/d0_tIXkD2e
Lack Of Access to High Quality Affordable Health Insurance in the United States
No full text2021 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"There is a lack of access to high-quality affordable health insurance in the United States. Research shows that one in five uninsured adults went without needed medical care due to cost. This exploratory, cross-sectional study will examine the prevalence of experiencing stress due to health care costs and how often they avoided seeking health care due to high costs. The results would show that there is significant stress related to high-cost health insurance. These findings can hopefully be used to advocate for more resources to combat this issue."https://youtu.be/4w4K7XqmFc
Causes of Psychological Distress Among College Students
No full text2021 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Psychological distress is a serious social problem, especially among college students. Based on the literature, psychological distress can lead to negative behaviors, poor physical and mental health outcomes, and a decrease in academic performance in college students. This exploratory, cross-sectional study, utilizing a Qualtrics survey, will measure the causes of psychological distress in college students. The results aim to help bridge the gap for social workers and other professionals to better understand the causes of psychological distress in students so they can help target those areas."https://youtu.be/ynRLXez555
The Impact of Voter Design of Voter Behavior
No full text2021 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"How does the design of a ballot influence the decisions a voter makes? Almost every county across the United States is in charge of designing, printing, and distributing their ballots on election day. This means that each county’s ballot will look different, both in terms of design and races. However, current research has not examined the impact these differences have on voters. We theorize that variables in ballot design will have a significant impact on roll-off. We gathered data from West Virginia’s 2018 ballots and analyzed how their design influenced roll-off. Our findings suggest that there is no significant relationship between ballot design and voter behavior, however more research is needed before this conclusion can be reached."https://youtu.be/dM3hIk1ip7

The Student Debt Crisis: Current Experiences and Future Implications
No full text2021 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"The student debt crisis affects 45 million Americans and has been linked to a decrease in mental, physical, financial, and social wellbeing. This exploratory, cross-sectional study utilizes a self- administered survey to analyze the current perceptions of student debt amongst past and current students, helping to bridge the gap on the short- and long-term effects. Exploring these impacts will help make positive changes at micro, mezzo, and macro levels in addition to exploring effective ways to assist those with debt.

children, buying a home, and choosing a career."https://youtu.be/qbnfkHK30m
An upgrade to the traditional organic chemistry lab
No full text2021 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Traditionally, organic chemistry lab students perform experiments that are known to work time and time again. The main purpose of the Undergraduate Research in Organic Chemistry Course (UROCC) is for students to incorporate modern lab techniques and digital tools, scientific thinking, and collaboration. Students get to implement these skills by conducting research to synthesize bioactive heterocyclic tropinone derivatives in an attempt to develop a drug candidate for breast cancer. UROCC gives students the opportunity to learn lab techniques combined with a research project and is designed to provide them experience needed to
succeed in a career in science."https://youtu.be/ULxV505Z46
The Importance of a Quality Physical Education Program
No full text2021 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"This paper focuses on the Importance of a Quality Physical Education program in regards to the obesity crisis in America. One of the ways to tackle this problem is to maximize the time that children spend in school. By focusing on the school day and implementing Physical Education as a class, as well as daily recess, students benefits in a multiple ways. Being physically active boosts cognitive development and increases attention spans. The benefits not only relate to medical issues, but also to psychological social problems. In recent years, Kentucky has been required to implement School Wellness Policies. This holds schools more accountable and requires them to report assessment results and mandatory
minutes."https://youtu.be/dpp1puC49b
