College Snack Bar, McArthur Gymnasium Basement, Westbrook Junior College, 1940s
No full textFrom a 1940s Admissions photograph folder of campus views, this sepia toned print shows The College Snack-Bar, set up in the McArthur Gymnasium basement during the summer of 1937. Known as the caf, it had its own entrance and was adjacent a space called a smoker by students and a rec room by the president. The print is labeled on the front, lower left corner, with The College Snack-Bar. On the lower right corner is the label: Westbrook Junior College, Portland, Maine.https://dune.une.edu/wchc_photos_mcarthur/1010/thumbnail.jp

McArthur Gymnasium with Cropped Arborvitae, Westbrook Junior College, Late 1960s
No full textThe overly tall arborvitae previously in front of the McArthur Gymnasium steps have been cropped and halved in this late 1960s black and white photograph with Photo--Carlyle Lewis stamped on the back. In addition, a new tree sapling has been planted on the Green in front of the Gym. Framed by the branches and leaves of older trees, McArthur Gymnasium wears its 65 years of existence rather royally.https://dune.une.edu/wchc_photos_mcarthur/1019/thumbnail.jp

The Creation Of An Algorithm To Assist Survivorship Clinics Identify The Rehabilitation Needs Of Cancer Survivors: An Administrative Case Report
No full textResearch report presentation:
Background and Purpose: Approximately 40% of cancer survivors have unmet rehabilitation needs. Cancer survivors not receiving rehabilitation care may be due to survivorship clinics struggling to identify which of their survivors are appropriate for rehabilitation. The purpose of this case report was to review the literature and create an algorithm that could assist survivorship clinics with rehabilitation referrals. Case Description: A survivorship clinic in Maine was attempting to address the lack of a rehabilitation screening process. A survey done by the clinic showed that approximately 40% of their survivors used rehabilitation services. To address this lack of a screening process, a literature review was conducted in the summer of 2020 to identify common cancer impairments that may necessitate rehabilitation services. From there, an algorithm would be created that contained screening measures to identify those impairments. The initial algorithm consisted of the Pain Visual Analogue Scale, Fatigue Numerical Scale, and Short-Form 36 health questionnaire. Outcomes: The final algorithm consisted of two parts. First the oncologic clinician asks themselves whether the survivor can exercise without medical supervision. The second is based off the grading of the Short-Form 36. The answers to these two parts determine eligibility for referral to rehabilitation services. An expert in oncology rehabilitation vetted the algorithm in the fall of 2020. Expert feedback resulted in the final algorithm creation. Discussion: The stakeholders were unavailable to discuss an evaluation of the proposed algorithm or implementation into the survivorship clinic due to the 2020 pandemic. With the help of expert feedback, the final algorithm contributes to the growing body of literature regarding screening for oncology rehabilitation. Future research should be aimed at the implementation of existing algorithms into clinics.https://dune.une.edu/pt_studcrpres/1008/thumbnail.jp
COVID-19: Descriptive Case Study Of A K-8 School District’s Abrupt Transition To Remote Learning From A Traditional In-Person Model
Get PDFCOVID-19 resulted in many changes worldwide in how humans and organizations interact and operate. One such significant adjustment was the closure and transition from a classroom instruction model to a remote instruction model across the United States. The purpose of this descriptive case study was to explore student achievement, teacher preparation and instructional hours, and student attendance levels for grades kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8) at four schools in a single school district. The study examined these datasets at a school administrative unit (SAU) comprising of three terms during the 2019-20 school year, comparing pre-COVID-19 levels with post-COVID-19 levels. The overarching research question for this case study was to explore how abruptly moving to a fully online learning environment affects student achievement and assessment, teacher work hours, and student attendance. The study examined four K-8 schools with a total population of 1,370 students, 75 core content teachers and 20 unified arts teachers. The findings supported the hypothesis that there would be no difference in student achievement between terms one through two and term three as measured by competency grades based on curriculum standards. However, the traditional assessment grades did see an increase from terms one through two compared to term three. Further, teachers reported working fewer hours per week in term three. Finally, the student absences increased in term three. There are a few practical recommendations to improve an abrupt change from a traditional in-person instructional model to an online instructional model in the event of crisis. Equity is a concern for vulnerable groups and can be addressed with the provision of internet, computing devices, and meals. Further, follow-up with student guardians and implementation of a non-punitive grading and assessment system can mitigate equity issues. The researcher suggests that further qualitative research is necessary to understand full implications of a crisis-induced transition from in-person to online learning. Additional insight into why teachers worked fewer hours, students attended class less regularly, and if/why teachers adjusted grading and assessment may prove beneficial

Sanctuary, All Soul\u27s Church, Westbrook Junior College, mid 20th Century
No full textThe sanctuary of All Souls Church is shown in this glossy black and white photograph, probably taken from the choir balcony in the back of the church in the mid 20th century. The photo includes the lectern to the right, the altar in its center, and the backs of a number of pews.
The church contained 80 chestnut pews trimmed with black walnut. Originally, when built, the ceiling was blue and studded with gold stars. A local 1867 newspaper referred to the interior as “very pleasing, rich but not too gorgeous.”https://dune.une.edu/wchc_photos_allsouls/1009/thumbnail.jp
Designing Student Services: A Case Study Of Design Thinking At A University
No full textThis research project examined how an organization facing significant challenges could design projects vital to strategic renewal by using design thinking to deploy the idea of the design value chain. This study validated an existing design thinking framework, using a service design process at a postsecondary institution as the site for the study, thereby addressing an important gap in empirical research on the use of design thinking to improve faculty and staff (employee) engagement in the design of work, workplace, and workplace tools to enhance institutional service quality and enact strategic renewal at a postsecondary institution. This project used a case-study approach, drawing on publicly available artifacts from the redesign of academic and career advising at Portland State University, a single postsecondary site that used design-thinking techniques and employee engagement in the design of services. Materials were analyzed using document analysis and time-series analysis. The research findings suggest that employee engagement in design of services can be structured using a design methodology organized into six steps: (a) project initiation, (b) understanding user need, (c) reframing the problem, (d) visualizing change, (e) experimentation, and (f) design. This work is significant as it validates the use of design thinking both as a theoretical framework and a process to be deployed by non-designers in the design of student services
