The New View
No full textI took this picture at Pittock Mansion. Here, there was a poster to the side that had images of what the lookout looked like throughout the past years. The biggest difference I saw was the change in infrastructure that has occurred along with just how crammed in each building is to the next. This shows the consequences of decision makers and policy makers so well because it demonstrates the changes that happened because of what these policy makers allowed to happen. They allowed trees to be cut down so that huge buildings could be built, stopped protecting the natural ecosystems, and have allowed the pollution of the Willamette River, just to name a few. Each of these decisions from policy makers have impacted sustainability because they have promoted monetary wellbeing rather than environmental sustainability.

Waste Plastic to Diesel Fuel in a Bench Scale Pyrolysis Reactor: Circularity in Plastics Recycling on the OSU Campus
No full textThe OSU CBEE research lab is converting plastics to farm diesel using a pyrolysis reactor. During the summer of 2022 the lab focused on conducting experiments with trash collected from the OSU campus including a collaboration with the Dutch Bros on campus. They also participated in several outreach activities including the S.E.S.E.Y camp and the Asian Celebration.https://pilotscholars.up.edu/ase_internships_2021/1007/thumbnail.jp
Accommodations are Not Charity : Qualitative Analysis and Community Based Participatory Research to Understand and Measure Successful Employment Experience of Autistic People
No full textWe first read and familiarized ourselves with transcripts of the interview data collected by our mentor, Dr. Raymaker. As said before, the data that we coded consisted of 64 interviews with autistic people with skilled training, 11 interviews with supervisors of autistic people and job coaches, and 8 key informant interviews all of whom talked about their own experiences with having autism and finding or working in skilled employment. We then moved on to using qualitative analysis by coding and finding key ideas in what we were analyzing. Then we moved on to creating bigger categories out of the key ideas we found and used verification, which is essentially asking how can we trust what we learned. The five major themes we found are the following: take a holistic approach to career planning and job selection, create neurodiversity-friendly workplace climates, support employee mental health, respect employees for who they are and value their contributions, and explore out-of-the-box and non-traditional solutions.https://pilotscholars.up.edu/ase_internships_2021/1004/thumbnail.jp

Student Perspectives in a Recovery High School: How Students with Emotional Disability and Students with Other Health Impairment for ADHD Experience Success
Get PDFThe purpose of this bound, exploratory case study was to investigate how students with ED (Emotional Disorder) and students with OHI (Other Health Impairment) for ADHD experience success at a recovery high school (RHS). The five participants in this qualitative study, current RHS students and recent alumni, were asked to participate in a pre-interview activity followed by a semi-structured interview to gather the student voice and discover how students with ED and students with OHI for ADHD experience success within this specialized and seldom-studied educational environment. Through their pre-interview activities and their responses in semistructured interviews, it was evident that participants in this study felt that they achieved success while attending their recovery high school.
This research provides important implications for helping students experience success in school. First, build and provide a positive school environment, and second, guide students to self-realization to assist them in making positive behavioral changes. Participant reflections in this research also made evident elements of their path to success: building positive relationships, gaining self-realizations, changing their behaviors, and realizing their purpose. This research displays how the RHS not only lead students to success but also helped them to flourish educationally and emotionally.
Participant responses in this research also exhibited elements of Social Cognitive Theory’s (SCT’s) triadic reciprocal causation and how it impacts students and their achieving success at an RHS. Triadic reciprocal causation reflects the mutually influenced relationship among personal, behavioral, and environmental
factors (Bandura, 1986). As evidenced by this research, if educational programs, such as RHSs and any others that service students in special education, provide an education that strongly considers and incorporates these factors of SCT to support students, then this population of students is more likely to experience success
Program Experiences of Pacific Alliance for Catholic Education Graduates that Impact Retention in the Field
Get PDFTeacher retention rates in America have remained low over the past decades, with almost half of teachers exiting the field in their first five years of teaching. High teacher turnover has a financial impact on schools and districts as well as negative impacts on student learning. The Pacific Alliance for Catholic Education (PACE) is a teacher preparation program that has graduates who have demonstrated higher retention rates in the teaching field over the first five years. This single-case study investigated the experiences of six graduates of the PACE program during their time in the program, and sought to understand their decision to remain teaching in the classroom after graduation. Six interviews and one focus group were conducted in order to explore attitudes and experiences that supported participants in their early career. Key findings revealed that participants remained in the field for altruistic reasons such as connections and impacts on student lives, and making significant differences in the world. Additionally, participants described the importance of a collaborative and supportive administrator both in the early years of their career, as well as their current school environments. Participants also indicated that informal mentors that were sought out positively impacted their willingness to stay in the profession. Participants identified PACE programmatic supports, that had little or no impact on their experiences as early career educators, including the need for student affairs professionals to assist individuals in the program, and the need for more applicable and pertinent feedback from university supervisors. Implications for best practices for alternative teacher preparation programs are suggested, based on the data received from participants
The Rose That Grew From the Tree
No full textWhen I saw this rose, I thought of Tupac Shakur\u27s poem titled The Rose That Grew From Concrete, a poem all about survival. “Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature\u27s law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.” Tupac\u27s poem talks about how a rose that grew from the crack in the concrete overcomes all laws of nature; this is especially true in our neoliberal and capitalist society. Industrialization makes it so all beautiful plants are manufactured and planned meticulously. The rose in the picture and Tupac\u27s poem truly makes me realize that to survive in the natural environment is an act of rebellion.

Hemp-based, Sustainable, Compostable, and Affordable Menstrual Pads for Underserved Communities
No full textOver the summer, I worked in a chemical engineering lab at OSU. We looked at different menstrual hygiene pads currently on the market and compared them in terms of compostability and absorbency. Additionally, we looked at the absorbency ratio of hemp compared to cotton. Further studies will be done on the properties of hemp.https://pilotscholars.up.edu/ase_internships_2021/1010/thumbnail.jp
