Social Support in the College Experience
No full textThe following presentation aims to explore the relationships between stress, social support, campus connectedness, wellness/academic outcomes, and overall happiness. Through the use of empirical data collected from St. John Fisher University students, the study will address if stress has a significant negative association with happiness, subjective wellbeing, mental health, and poor academic outcomes, as well as if campus connectedness and social support from friends, family, and significant others have a significantly positive association with overall wellbeing and positive academic outcomes while significantly moderating the relationship between stress and happiness, subjective wellbeing, mental health, academic self-efficacy, academic satisfaction, and academic grit

Cost-Benefit Analysis of a Pharmacy Formulary for a Non-Profit Community Health Center
No full textThe cost of maintaining an appropriate medication inventory has drastically increased for healthcare centers, especially for small non-profit facilities. The acquisition of medication at a reasonable cost is essential to sustain access and best serve vulnerable patient populations. St. Joseph’s Neighborhood Center (SJNC) has relied primarily on medication donations from non-profit aid organizations, community partners, and the limited purchase of medications through discounted distributors. These methods are often inconsistent and result in frequent changes to patient medication regimens. This project compared the cost of two viable, long-term medication sourcing options for SJNC: Dispensary of Hope and AndaMeds

Arriving in a New Language of Race
No full textThis essay explores the layered experience of navigating race and belonging as an African woman and international graduate student within U.S. higher education. Written in reflection on The State of Women of Color in New York Higher Education symposium, the piece blends personal narrative with critical inquiry to examine how code-switching, silence, emotional labor, and cultural translation shape the academic journey. Engaging with concepts such as femtoring, rest as resistance, and radical care, the essay foregrounds how identity is continuously negotiated across transnational contexts. By drawing on lived experiences in Nigeria, Europe, and the United States, it calls for a deeper reimagining of institutional inclusion, one that centers authenticity, multiplicity, and presence. Ultimately, it affirms that belonging is an active process constructed through self-definition, resistance, and the refusal to allow the erasure of one’s self and contributions
Guerrillera Blesson Interlude VII
No full textInterlude VII is the last of seven reflective pieces interwoven throughout the journal. Each interlude represents a collaborative fusion of María Luisa Arroyo Cruzado’s narrative and Julie Fogden’s visual art, capturing the transformative experience of attending The State of Women of Color in New Higher Education symposium. These interludes draw inspiration from the symposium’s presentations, including thematic content, visual motifs, and the symbolic patterns found in the attire of the presenters. They honor the dedication and labor that women of color invest in both professional and personal spheres, acknowledging the emotional and physical toll of these responsibilities while celebrating the resilience, strength, and community that emerge from such lived experiences.

Sending a Message
No full textMy project stems from an overall course assignment deriving from my CORE4990 class. The ultimate goal of my project is to educate individuals on the problems that public schools face with underfunding. It has become apparent that individuals within public school communities and stakeholders do not receive adequate information on how funding is provided for public education, nor how it is distributed. I would like to educate individuals on how funding is distributed to public schools as well as raise awareness of the inadequate funding that public schools receive and address the lack of resources and opportunities students are left with. This will be done by utilizing physical postcards that include a diverse range of schools including well-funded institutions versus inadequately funded institutions to highlight the differences and raise the conversation as to why the differences perpetuate problems of educational disparities. The primary audience for my presentation will be for the students and other individuals within the area who may go on and advocate for proper funding within public institutions
Audacity to Lead: Examining the Experiences of Elementary School Leaders and the Effects of Implementing Collective Efficacy
No full textThis qualitative study examined how elementary school leaders develop collective efficacy through leadership practices. Through semi-structured interviews with 16 elementary school leaders, the researcher investigated leadership practices that effectively build and sustain collective efficacy while identifying key challenges and supports. Drawing on Bandura\u27s collective efficacy theory, the study employed a phenomenological approach to understanding leaders\u27 lived experiences in developing collective belief systems within their schools.
Key findings indicate that successful collective efficacy development requires intentional leadership practices aligned with school improvement\u27s structural and cultural elements. The study found that 87% of participants reported improved collaborative practices through systematic implementation of professional learning communities, while 91% identified specific strategies for addressing challenges in this work.
This research contributes to the field by identifying specific leadership practices that support collective efficacy development while highlighting areas requiring further investigation. Recommendations include developing systematic vision-building approaches, implementing structured professional learning systems, and creating comprehensive data systems to measure achievement and cultural indicators. The findings suggest that developing collective efficacy requires sustained, systematic effort supported by aligned leadership practices at both school and district levels
