Multnomah County Drainage District - NE 33rd Drive Culvert Design
No full textThe Multnomah County Drainage District (MCDD) capstone team was tasked with redesigning an existing roadway culvert beneath NE 33rd drive and adding a flow control structure. The MCDD’s pump stations that control water surface elevations going through the culvert are currently undersized, thus upsizing the culvert is the first step in the district’s overall course of action.https://pilotscholars.up.edu/egr_project/1049/thumbnail.jp

Using Mixed Methods Analysis to Measure the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Peer-led Web-based Intervention for Young Adults Experiencing Early Psychosis
No full textPortland State University, in collaboration with the Early Assessment and Support Alliance (EASA) team, used a CBPR approach to develop a peer-driven, web-based recovery resource to provide additional support to new EASA members and let them know that they are not alone in their experiences. It aimed to impact short-term outcomes related to knowledge of psychosis, treatment, and goal setting; and engagement with the program - with a long-term aim to impact self-determination. The team conducted a small pilot study with a pre-post design and I used a mixed-methods approach to test the intervention\u27s feasibility and acceptability with both young adults and their clinicians. The results showed that EASA connections participants felt that this web feature was thorough in nature, supportive of their needs, and encouraged peer engagement and personal connections. 89% said they would recommend this web feature to other EASA participants and another 67% said that this resource was very important for EASA participants.https://pilotscholars.up.edu/ase_internships/1001/thumbnail.jp

“We demand justice!” Directing Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad in a #MeToo World
Get PDFStruggles involving power and privilege have been exposed in recent years. New examples are being publicly uncovered in newsfeeds around the world. We learn of bosses in big businesses that have lorded their authority over employees. On campuses, professors have made inappropriate remarks and touch students without consent. In the entertainment industry, once respected directors and actors use their fame and power to sexually assault and rape women. These injustices are being exposed in public, empowering private abuse in families to come to light. For years my friends feared their adopted father’s retaliation if they revealed their repeated sexual abuse at his hand. When they confided in their mother, she rejected their stories, discounting their testimonies. The matter was settled out of court, but with recent cases favoring abusers, it may not have ended well
