Bridging Research & Praxis: Applying HEFWA Research to Strengthen Programs
The presentation "Bridging Research to Praxis: Applying HEFWA Research to Strengthen Programs" by the HEFWA Research Committee outlines significant research efforts and findings aimed at enhancing financial wellness programs in higher education. Since 2020, the committee has conducted multiple surveys, qualitative studies, and analyses of institutional websites and chatbots.
Key research initiatives include:
HEFWA Survey of Financial Wellness Programs: Conducted three times, these surveys provide insights into programming, student engagement, staffing, and budget allocations across various institutions.
Qualitative Study of Peer Financial Mentors: This study explores the recruitment, training, and experiences of peer financial mentors, highlighting the importance of soft skills, listening, and support from supervisors.
Analysis of Financial Wellness Websites: Examining over 4,399 institutional websites, the study identifies the prevalence, naming conventions, and resource limitations of financial wellness webpages.
Human-Computer Interaction Study on Chatbots: Investigating 177 chatbots, the study assesses their effectiveness in providing financial wellness counseling, revealing significant gaps and areas for improvement.
The presentation emphasizes the practical application of these research findings to improve financial wellness programs. Recommendations include enhancing website content and structure, optimizing chatbot functionality, and adopting models like the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) for peer mentor development. The ultimate goal is to provide clear, accessible, and effective financial wellness resources to students, thereby bridging the gap between research and practice in higher education.The presentation "Bridging Research to Praxis: Applying HEFWA Research to Strengthen Programs" by the HEFWA Research Committee outlines significant research efforts and findings aimed at enhancing financial wellness programs in higher education.

Sustaining Hoosier Communities: Daviess County Final Report
Daviess County offers notable outdoor and cultural assets, and local institutions—from libraries to main streets—serve as hubs for civic life and learning. The county partnered with the IU Center for Rural Engagement’s Sustaining Hoosier Communities initiative as its sixth community partner, producing 27 community-identified projects and engaging hundreds of IU students, faculty, and staff to address priorities such as childcare capacity, placemaking, tourism, workforce supports, and accessibility

Nasalization and Nasal Vowels in the Swabian Dialect of Horb: A Phonological Analysis of Kauffmann 1890
Thesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, Department of Germanic Studies, 2025Though phonemic nasal vowels are rare in Germanic languages, Swabian, a dialect spoken in southwestern Germany, exhibits nasal and oral vowel contrasts shaped by complex diachronic and synchronic processes. This work examines the phonemic system of Horb Swabian, based on a late-nineteenth-century grammar (Kauffmann 1890), tracing the inception of nasal vowels from Middle High German to the present through processes of Progressive Nasalization, Nasal-Fricative Avoidance, and Spontaneous Nasalization. The synchronic grammar of Horb Swabian is riddled with phonological opacity due to the interaction of Regressive Nasalization, Linking-n, and n-Deletion, and is characterized by height neutralization of nasalized vowels: Out of a four-height oral vowel system, a two-height nasal vowel system emerges. Rejecting underspecification and binary height features, I analyze these patterns using a classical optimality-theoretic framework, employing the Contrastive Hierarchy (Dresher 2009) and hierarchical vowel height (Clements 1991) while giving faithfulness constraints scope over features in line with an orthodox understanding of correspondence (McCarthy & Prince 1995). Not only does this work contribute to the field of German dialectology in illustrating the Swabian vowel system, it also enriches our understanding of opacity within Optimality Theory
EVALUATION OF THE 2025 INTERNATIONAL HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING SUMMER SCHOOL (IHPCSS)
The 2025 International High Performance Computing Summer School was held July 6 – July 11 in Lisbon, Portugal. The summer school is sponsored by HPC SPECTRA, Pawsey, DRAC, R- CCS, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, the University of Texas at Austin, NICIS CHPC, NITheCS, and EPCC.
The Summer School brings together the brightest students in computational sciences and endeavors to familiarize them with the state-of-the-art aspects of HPC and Big Data Analytics for scientific disciplines, catalyze the formation of professional networks, provide advanced mentoring, facilitate international exchange, and open up further career options.
