Understanding University Support for Suicide Bereavement and Bereaved Experiences: A Phenomenological Study
Get PDFIn recent years, a multitude of literature have discussed the turbulent nature for young adults to navigate the difficulties of suicide bereavement with lack of support. This experience can be further cumbersome when the bereavement is co-occurring within an academic profession, such as attending university. This study explored three participants experience of suicide bereavement support at a university level, utilizing a phenomenological arts-based approach for inquiry. Data analysis revealed eight common themes that reflect the university students\u27 lived experiences of the phenomenon discussed: Acknowledgment of the communicated loss by faculty, provision of academic support, lack/absence of practice, reluctance, emotional response, non-faculty support, recall, omission. The findings within this study highlight the unique nature of arts expression and the use of it as a communicative tool to those experiencing a death loss. Results suggest a reluctance to disclose for fear of a further loss of professionalism within the University setting and the absence of a solidified grievance plan that left individuals feeling further unsupported. Furthermore, individuals spoke to a heightened need for meaning making of the experience to facilitate the bereavement process and a reliance on the self rather than community due to previous fears of disclosure. Our understanding of suicide bereavement would benefit from an inclusion of non-art affiliated participants, a wider sample size and individuals that associate outside of the female identification for a more diverse range of experiences

Reimagining the Onboarding and Mentoring needs of California Community College Counseling Faculty: An Ecological Systems Approach Using Narrative Inquiry
Get PDFDespite California community college counseling faculty having unique roles on their campuses due to their faculty status and their proximity to students, there is a lack of research related to the experiences of counseling faculty and how they can be supported by local and statewide leaders to best meet the needs of the diverse student populations that are currently being served within the California community college system. This qualitative research study utilized narrative inquiry to examine the current onboarding and mentoring experiences of California community college counseling faculty to evaluate both best practices as well as institutional gaps that negatively impact counseling faculty and the students they serve. Utilizing Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) ecological systems theory as a framework, this study intentionally centered counseling faculty development while examining three main questions: (a) how do the onboarding and mentoring of community college counseling faculty reflect an institution\u27s support of diverse student populations, (b) what policies and practices exist, from the counseling faculty perspective, that effectively support the onboarding and mentoring of counseling faculty, and (c) how can an ecological framework assist in identifying recommendations on what supports for counseling faculty are necessary for institutions to be successful in their mission to support diverse students? Five counseling faculty were selected as participants, who provided data through journal responses, artifact submission, and narrative inquiry interviews. Findings indicated that a primary challenge for new counseling faculty was the need to “freeway fly” while working at multiple campuses part-time, leading to inconsistent onboarding support, increased stress, and a lack of sense of belonging on campus. Additionally, onboarding opportunities that intentionally combined technical training with cultural competencies were considered most valuable. Finally, informal mentoring was seen as a key component of onboarding as faculty sought out relationships that helped fill institutional gaps in professional development. The findings point to the need for a reimagined approach to onboarding and mentoring counseling faculty in ways that center faculty perspectives to better align with California’s mission to support the diverse needs of community college students
Perceptions About Catholic High School Athletics
Get PDFIn the largest survey to date on Catholic school identity in athletics (49 U.S. States, n = 2273), administrators, counselors, and teachers responded to a survey about the perceived value of interscholastic athletics, school support of athletics, the contribution of coaches to school mission, Catholic identity in athletics, and the importance of the school’s athletic director and coaches to have a mission orientation. The results of the study indicate that administrators, counselors, and teachers have positive perceptions of Catholic high school athletics. Teacher perceptions differed more than administrators and counselors based on their age, gender, and religion. At least one Catholic high school from each state except Wyoming (which has no Catholic high school) participated in the study, informing a national perspective
Narratives of Sexuality From Undergraduate Women at LMU
No full textMy project, titled “Narratives of Sexuality from Undergraduate Women at LMU,” explores how LMU undergraduate students who identify as women have experienced sexuality during their time in college. I wanted to focus this project on women and people who identify with womanhood to highlight the gendered aspects of sexuality on a college campus. I specifically say women and people who identify with womanhood to emphasize that gender non-conforming individuals are also affected by feminine and masculine concepts of sexuality. Factors such as misogyny, beauty standards, gendered power dynamics, and the influence of institutions on social norms and behavior. My initial interest came from wanting to know how much of an effect sexual experience in college leaves on students once they move on to the next step in their lives. My project developed into an exploration of LMU’s dating and hookup culture, gender and sexuality norms, and the influence of LMU’s own curriculum and campus culture on student life. College, for those who have or will attend, is commonly acknowledged as formative years in which young adults discover and develop themselves and experiment with sexuality. Using an intersectional feminist lens, I ground my research frameworks including social theory, institutional theory, and care ethics. Chapter 1 of my thesis focuses on the broader dating and hookup cultures practiced and observed by students on campus. Chapter 2 dives deeper into the dating and hookup norms produced and reinforced through sorority and fraternity life. Finally, Chapter 3 looks at the influence of LMU as an institution and its orientation curriculum on student conduct, particularly student sexuality
