A Descriptive Study of Black College Students’ Perceptions of Law Enforcement After Police Brutality
No full textPolice brutality is a social issue that has tormented the mental health of the Black community for decades. Seeing brethren battered and bruised countless times has taken an emotional toll on the relationship of the Black community with the American justice system and the officers meant to uphold it. Previous research has shown that the Black community primarily has a negative perception of law enforcement because of factors like police brutality, unjustified shootings, and legal policies within the justice system. Compounding experiences can occur for people with disabilities within the Black community. Specifically, autistic people have a higher risk of their actions being misinterpreted by police. The researcher engaged in a descriptive study consisting of 22 Black college students from a Southeastern university in the United States. Through the administration of a brief Qualtrics survey, the focus of which was on the emotional well-being of the students. The survey gauged how instances of police brutality (ie. George Floyd and Tyre Nichols) and Black Lives Matter (BLM) responses have affected the participants\u27 trust in law enforcement and their emotional well-being. Recruitment for the study sample included purposive and convenience sampling. Study findings indicated that 70% of respondents reported their trust in law enforcement as either poor or somewhat poor. Fifty percent of respondents reported being neutral in their perception of BLM response to police-brutality related murders. Lastly, over 50% of participants reported their mental health being either poor or somewhat poor. This study revealed that police brutality-related murders have made a notable impact on Black college students’ perception of law enforcement in one southeastern university. This study and its findings provide an integral foundation for developing targeted strategies and offering guidance for future interventions to address the emotional well-being of this specific population in the aftermath of police brutality
Blue Bottle
No full textThis piece consists of a series of individually shaped bottle forms, connected by a shared base and continuous surface. It is influenced by repetition, using similar forms differing in shape, height, and proportion to create unity and visual balance. The repetition of related shapes creates visual rhythm, while the differences between them add interest. This contrast between balance and variation reflects my interest in exploring how uniformity and difference can exist in a single object. I threw seven individual bottle forms on the wheel and arranged them in a straight line to highlight the contrast between the linear arrangement and the roundness of each form. The piece was then glazed and fired in the reduction process. While the work is cohesive, each bottle maintains its own distinct character.
I am a UNF student majoring in applied ethics philosophy with a minor in painting, drawing and printmaking. I recently began working with ceramics, and this new direction has heightened my interest in the fine arts. I have found that exploring multiple disciplines has enriched my creative process and deepened my appreciation for the arts. I plan to continue my education in the fine arts and further explore ceramics in the future
Episode 25 Nutrition and Dietetics
No full textIn this engaging episode, Lauren and Beryl explore the field of nutrition and dietetics research while showing students how to locate and identify primary research sources using UNF Library tools. The librarians break down common confusion between primary sources and primary research and offer practical, hands-on strategies for citation mining and database searching.
Listeners learn how to use OneSearch citation paths, Web of Science, CINAHL headings, and PubMed’s MeSH terms to track down original studies, evaluate evidence, and follow researchers’ work across publications. Lauren also spotlights library guides and databases curated by STEM librarian Sarah for students and faculty in Nutrition and Dietetics, including resources on AMA citation style, types and levels of evidence, and systematic reviews.
The episode continues with reminders about Library Open Office Hours (Monday–Thursday, 11 AM–1 PM, with expanded hours during finals) and Pull-Up-a-Librarian pop-ups the week before Thanksgiving, designed to provide quick in-person help for students.
Beryl then shares exciting updates from the Virtual Learning Center (VLC) — all 28 Meta Quest 3 headsets are now equipped with the Eartha M.M. White VR Experience, thanks to the help of UNF ITS’s Tim Hunter. Classes, clubs, and faculty are increasingly integrating VR into instruction, including the French Club’s upcoming session using Dynamic Languages VR. Beryl invites faculty to recommend immersive experiences related to their disciplines, reminding listeners that the VLC has a small budget for new app acquisitions (contact: [email protected]).
To align with the nutrition and dietetics theme, Beryl highlights several VR experiences available through the Meta platform: Augmented Food Exposure – A simulation for measuring emotional responses and binge-eating triggers Nutrition Counselor VR – Training for dietitians and interns to develop patient counseling strategies Kellogg Gut Health Bacteria Reef – An immersive “Magic School Bus–style” journey through the human digestive system
The episode concludes with a campus spotlight interview featuring Hilary Streifer, librarian for the newly opened Allen Lastinger Center for Florida History. Hilary introduces the center’s mission as a hub for Florida-focused scholarship, its collections of maps, manuscripts, and ephemera, and its welcoming reading space for quiet study and research.https://digitalcommons.unf.edu/instructionpodcast/1024/thumbnail.jp
