Xavier Baca Living Memoirs Interview
Get PDFXavier, an alumnus of Southern Adventist University, shares about his time serving as an intern youth pastor on the island of Oahu. He tells about his formative childhood and his passion for ministry as he began his college experience. As he continues into his career, he carries his experiences and love for God.
Hawaii is an island state in the Pacific Ocean consisting of 7 inhabited islands and is one of the world’s longest island chains. Hawaii is the only United States state with two official languages, English and Hawaiian. Hawaii is known for its active volcanoes, diverse culture, and beautiful beaches.

Kelsey Perez Living Memoirs Interview
Get PDFKelsey, an alumnus of Southern, shared about her time as an English and History teacher on the island of Kosrae. She shared about her passion for health and how this impacted her time at Southern and her career path. The stories she shared about her impact at the school in Kosrae show God’s work through missionaries.
Kosrae is one of four of the Federated States of Micronesia, a country in the western Pacific Ocean. Kosrae is a volcanic island that produces taro, oranges, breadfruit, and bananas. Kosrae is known for its biodiversity in water (reefs) and above water on the island.

Kaylie Ackerman Living Memoirs Interview
Get PDFKaylie, a Southern alumnus and current employee, shared about her time as a house parent and teacher with Familia Feliz, a boarding school/orphanage in Bolivia. She shared about how her parents helped form her trust and faith in God.
Bolivia is a land-locked country in South America, with one-third of the country consisting of the Andes mountains. The primary ethnic groups in Bolivia consist of indigenous groups (like the Aymara, Quechua, and Guaraní), Mestizos (or those of mixed ethnicity), and those of Spanish-European descent, and 36 indigenous languages are named as official Bolivian languages along with Spanish. Bolivia is known for its wildlife and expansive salt flats.

Trace element taphonomy of the Hanson Ranch Edmontosaurus bonebed supports its origin via transportation of a mass death assemblage
No full textAbstract
The Hanson Ranch (HR) Bonebed is a monodominant assemblage of Edmontosaurus annectens and infrequent remains of other vertebrates within the Lance Formation of northeastern Wyoming. This bonebed, which has yielded more than 13,000 specimens from five Main Quarries over the last 25 years, is interpreted to have formed by deposition of a clastic debris flow, generating a normally-graded, fossil-dense assemblage. To clarify the geochemical history of the HR Bonebed and assess its mode of formation independent of traditional taphonomic means, we conducted trace element analyses of 12 bones from the assemblage using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. A majority of the examined bones were found to exhibit rapidly-declining rare earth element (REE) profiles, indicative of brief exposure to groundwaters, modest overall trace element uptake, and minimal late-diagenetic alteration. However, noteworthy variations were also identified among the specimens. In particular, both positive and negative redox anomalies were identified at the cortical margins and whole-bone level, indicating variable exposure within and among specimens to both reducing and oxidizing conditions. Several of the examined specimens, especially those of taxa other than Edmontosaurus, also exhibit less fractionation among REEs and more homogenous internal compositions. We infer these contrasts to arise from more protracted pore-fluid interactions for some specimens than others, and thus that select bones were attritionally added into the assemblage during transport to the final site of burial. These collective findings independently support prior taphonomic inferences that the bonebed horizon primarily hosts a partially-reworked or short-distance-transported mass death assemblage, and that this depositional history has imparted infrequent attritional signatures into specimens preserved in the bonebed. Our data thereby establish a baseline for comparison for many other fossil sites within the Lance Formation in the region, similar study of which can illuminate the suite of paleoenvironments and diagenetic settings recorded by these highly-fossiliferous strata

Evaluation of a Workshop to Help Students and Nurses Prepare for Professional Transitions
No full textNew nurses and nurses experiencing a professional transition are at risk for transition shock and crisis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a workshop to prepare undergraduate nursing students, graduate nursing students, and professional nurses for an upcoming professional transition. The participants reported overall satisfaction with the workshop as well as a significant decrease in anxiety and stress at the conclusion of the workshop. This workshop was an effective strategy to help individuals prepare for a professional transition
