Developing Undergraduate Research Expertise Through Project-Based Learning in Substance Abuse Disorder
No full textIUS's Applied Research and Education Center (AREC) uses project-based learning to build students' employable skillsets through collaboration on issue-driven evaluation and consulting work for local client organizations. In this poster, I highlight my work at AREC as a student research assistant on projects for Scott County's CEASe and the IU Grand Challenges Long-Term Recovery study, two key initiatives addressing substance use prevention and recovery. I address quantitative and qualitative research skills gained from my role in managing pre-/post-test data to evaluate the efficacy of CEASe programs and in transcribing, coding, and selecting key participant quotes from Grand Challenge focus group interviews
Artificial Intelligence and Financial Counseling: Do Institutions of Higher Education Embed Chatbots in their Financial Wellness Websites?
No full textThis brief makes a timely contribution to the literature by accomplishing three objectives: Understanding how many and which kinds of institutions publish financial wellness information on their official .edu website. Understanding whether institutions embed AI chatbots into these financial wellness websites. And understanding whether these AI chatbots are online and available to Internet users during normal local time business hours (9:00 AM to 5:00PM). This brief builds upon HEFWA’s foundational work by exploring the presence of AI chatbots on institutional financial wellness websites. This work will help financial wellness practitioners and students understand whether institutions are leveraging emergent AI technology and how financial wellness programs can leverage this technology to render financial wellness operations more efficient and responsive for college students.This brief makes a timely contribution to the literature by accomplishing three objectives: Understanding how many and which kinds of institutions publish financial wellness information on their official .edu website.

TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE FOR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE SOUTH SUDANESE CONTEXT
No full textThesis (M.S.Ed.) - Indiana University, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, 2025As a new country, South Sudan faces many unique challenges and the establishment of English as a shared language of instruction is one of the main challenges. South Sudan is a multilingual and multiethnic nation, and English is often not even the second language of many residents, but sometimes the third. With South Sudan’s independence from Sudan in 2011, English was designated the medium of instruction and national language. The sudden change of English as the medium of instruction has affected the educational system of South Sudan. It led to a very low level of English proficiency for both students and teachers alike. Because of this low proficiency level, this paper focuses on the effective methods of English instruction for higher education students who speak more than one language in South Sudan universities. In particular, it looks at how to help multilingual students with low proficiency contexts for whom English may be a second or third language
Shoulder Bags & Ethnic Identity in Southern Yunnan, China
No full textThis small book serves as the accompanying catalogue for the temporary exhibition Shoulder Bags and Ethnic Identity in Southern Yunnan, China. It contextualizes and presents a collection of decorative, but functional, shoulder bags collected among the Akha (Hani), Bulang, Dai, and Jinuo peoples in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and Pu’er Prefecture-Level City, Yunnan, China
Using Fluorescent Proteins as Biosensors for Escherichia coli
No full textDuring this ASURE research lab, we use biosensors to detect if disulfide bonds are being formed in the periplasm of Escherichia coli. Although red fluorescent proteins have already been proven to have high levels of fluorescence, this study focuses on optimizing mKeima as a biosensor by increasing fluorescence intensity and improving sensitivity in the bacterial periplasm where disulfide bonds are formed
Political Ideology, Morality, Interests, and Willingness to Interact
No full textThis project investigated associations between political ideology(liberal, conservative) and morality (values innately and socially constructed as right or wrong), and how political ideology, morality, and interests(music, traveling, etc.) influence willingness to interact. It is predicted that participants with different political ideologies will rate moral concepts (Harm, Fairness, Loyalty, Authority, Purity) differently and that there will be differences in willingness to interact when interests, compared to when moral stances, are communicated. Data are collected via an online Qualtrics survey. Results are expected to support the idea that people can be willing to communicate despite conflicting interests and moral standards
Effects of p53R248W on Proliferation and Chemoresistance of Human Lung Cancer
No full text2025 winner of the "Chancellor's Presentation Award for Oral Presentation"As a commonly mutated gene in human cancers, TP53 is a key target for cancer therapies. A single mutation can have variable cancer-promoting effects depending on other mutations present within the tumor. Currently available cell systems fail to accurately represent the complexity and heterogeneity of mutations present in clinically isolated tumors. In the present study, liposome-mediated transfection of mutant p53R248W into p53-null H1299 human lung cancer cells was used to manufacture a system that more accurately represents patient tumors. This system can be used to better understand the contribution of this mutation to lung tumor progression and resistance to treatment
Artificial Intelligence Chatbots: Are Chatbots Programmed to Provide Financial Wellness Counseling to College Students?
No full textThis HEFWA Research Brief aims to fill a gap in the literature by investigating whether higher education institutions use AI-powered chatbots for personal finance and financial wellness counseling on their websites. The study seeks to answer the following research question: If institutions embed AI-powered chatbots on their financial wellness websites, do these chatbots provide financial wellness counseling? If so, what is the depth and breadth of this counseling? Answering these questions will help researchers and practitioners understand how higher education institutions use chatbots for student services, including financial wellness counseling. Given that financial wellness counseling has traditionally been provided through a personalized, one-toone model (Britt et al., 2015; Montalto et al., 2019; Schuman et al., 2023), it is essential to learn whether institutions are using technology to offer this counseling and whether college students receive timely and accurate financial wellness information through AI technology.This HEFWA Research Brief aims to fill a gap in the literature by investigating whether higher education institutions use AI-powered chatbots for personal finance and financial wellness counseling on their websites.
