“There’s no blueprint for this kind of loss”: Resilience following the death of an equine in an equine-assisted services program
For practitioners involved in equine-assisted services (EAS), the death of a horse can be a significant life disruption. This study aims to understand the communicative resilience processes that equine-assisted service practitioners express following the death of an equine in their program. This study analyzed secondary qualitative data from a cross-sectional online survey completed by 84 participants. Analysis revealed practitioners engaged in all five communicative resilience processes following the death of an equine in their program. This research extends current resilience research by examining how individuals engage in these processes in the context of equine death. Practical implications are offered for practitioners to use these processes as a framework following the death of an equine and utilize this in their program to foster resilience. Suggestions for future research examining resilience in the context of other animal assisted service organizations and companion animal death are offered
Campus Exploration
Having available and sufficient study and community spaces on a college campus can impact the productivity and happiness of the students who attend. A survey was used to identify the locations where Lindenwood students perform certain activities such as studying alone and spending time with a group as well as to collect students’ thoughts on the current spaces on campus including optional suggestions. Students were asked if the spaces fit their purpose, if they feel satisfied with these spaces, and if they believe these spaces could impact their college experience. Preliminary common themes include satisfaction with the types of spaces, specifically in the LARC, but a request for more of them, as well as more outdoor spaces like the Pavilion. Students mentioned how the current individual and group study rooms are helpful, but they fill up too quickly. Suggestions include a student center where students can congregate and even have games like pool, as well as opening the Butler Library for more study spaces
