High Tech High: Computing In Our Early Days, Christian D. Nøkkentved, Ralph Flickinger
High Tech High: Computing In Our Early Days, Christian D. Nøkkentved, Ralph Flickinger
Archives Exhibits
In 1986, when IMSA first opened its doors to students, Plato, NovaNET, MacIntosh Plus and the Dat. Lab, even track paper all played an essential role in connecting IMSA to the emerging digital world. IMSA’s library, for example, boasted digital technology on par with the Ivy League university libraries. Like the rest of the world, IMSA has continued to expand and update its use of digital technologies, and as we move towards AI, this exhibit celebrates computing in our early days.

Active Listening: Are You Hearing Me Or Listening?, Taylor Jones
Goal 3: Interpersonal Intelligence Narrative
Be able to determine the difference between hearing someone when being spoken to and actively listening to them
Do you ever talk with someone and realize they aren’t listening? Sure, they hear the words that leave your mouth but are not genuinely listening: they may not be present, texting, staring off into space, etc. If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation like this, on either side, you run the risk of making someone feel neglected and undervalued, and you could miss out on important information. Active listening requires attentiveness to the speaker so you, as the listener, can understand …

Growth Vs Fixed Mindset Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Growth Vs Fixed Mindset Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Goal 4: Intrapersonal Intelligence Narrative
It is easy for adolescents, because their lives are full of constant change, to feel like any conflict, challenge, or criticism makes them a failure. However, these are actually opportunities to grow and learn, about oneself and others. They are opportunities to self-reflect, challenge your own assumptions and knowledge, expand your knowledge and skill sets, gain a broader understanding of different perspectives, and develop yourself on an individual level and within a relationship—friends, family, roommates, significant others, professional, and so on. Adapting a growth mindset during adolescence will prepare teens well for college and the professional world ahead of them. …
Boundary Setting Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Boundary Setting Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Goal 2: Life Skills Narrative
It is difficult for anybody, but especially teens and young adults, to understand what their boundaries are and to know how to communicate them with others. This impacts this age group (teens and young adults) most specifically because when we are young, we are both implicitly and explicitly told to mold and change our wants and needs to make others feel more comfortable. So, when living away from home for the first time and living with and being surrounded by new people who they are just getting to know it can be natural for them to want to continue molding …

Imsa’S Equity And Excellence Plan: 3 Year Outcome Report, Adrienne Coleman
Equity and Excellence Plan
The Academy recognizes and acknowledges the historical underrepresentation and marginalization of culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse groups, both universally, and particularly, in STEM education and professions. These disparities also exist in the representation of the Academy’s workforce. We are committed to advancing equity in STEM education and representation and creating a diverse, inclusive community of global citizens who can realize their full potential, and execute our mission to advance the human condition, through a model of Equity and Excellence.

Archives Exhibits
What a strange exhibit! There appears to be neither rhyme nor reason to what is here. Well, truth be told, this is not an exhibit. What you see here are artifacts or documents or images that are not part of an exhibit, and what is here may change periodically. Since we cannot show it all, Open Storage is another way of sharing more of the things in our physical collections. We have modelled this approach from other museums and archives.

Both the United States and the United Nations have identified, examined, and put out a call to action to address the educational inequities that have disproportionately and negatively affected racially minoritized students, as well as those from a lower socioeconomic background, and poorer countries. Data from the Nations Report Card and the Global Monitoring Report provide evidence of disparities in academic performance and access to equitable educational resources. The outcome of these inequities impacts countries throughout the world, as their residents will not possess the skills and knowledge to thrive in a rapidly evolving global society, nor possess the critical …

IMSA students exhibit a high degree of creativity when they design tee-shirts, like the one for Harambee, or Jazz Band, or Senior Class club. And then there are sports uniforms. Did you know that one of the early teams had a corduroy baseball cap. All are part of the Archives’ extensive collection of IMSA apparel club, including Class Club tee-shirts, former sports uniforms and hats, and even an apron used by a member of the faculty serving breakfast to the seniors on the morning of graduation day. This exhibit includes that apron, some tee-shirts, and hats including the corduroy one.
Social And Demographic Disparities In The Adherence Of Chronic Hypertension Medication During Pregnancy, Elizabeth Nyamwange '23
Social And Demographic Disparities In The Adherence Of Chronic Hypertension Medication During Pregnancy, Elizabeth Nyamwange '23
External Student Research Opportunities
Occurring in approximately 6-8% of all pregnancies, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are one of the major causes of pregnancy-related maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although there are many low-cost medications that can adequately treat this condition, patient adherence to these medications can vary widely. The objective of this study was to assess adherence to anti-hypertensive medication by pregnant women and to identify the social and demographic factors associated with incomplete adherence. Using a cohort of 28,008 publicly-insured women who initiated anti-hypertensive treatment within the first 20 weeks of gestation, we assessed dosage within biweekly gestational intervals, created …

In the Summer of 2022, Rich Bergstrom (class of 1994) asked that the Archives store the time capsule that his class had put together before they graduated. Per the plan, the capsule was opened at the 20 – year reunion, a few things were added, and it was then reopened again at the reunion five years later. This exhibit includes selections from the time capsule, including samples of the orange carpeting, Ramen Noodle packages, the audio tape Boyz II Men (with the favorite song of the class “It’s so Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday,” and a bedsheet with everyone’s …

Political, Racial, And Household Income Barriers For Access To Healthcare In Illinois Counties, Kennedy Bray '23
Political, Racial, And Household Income Barriers For Access To Healthcare In Illinois Counties, Kennedy Bray '23
Student Publications & Research
Access to health care impacts many people throughout the United States, as it restricts their ability to solve their health concerns. People who have the highest risk of a lack of access include people who are uninsured, people a part of a specific social class, or people belonging to a specific political party. In a particular geographical region, these factors could lead to groups of people suffering because of circumstances that they cannot control in their region. In my project, I determine how better access to healthcare and the percentage of people insured are affected by a measurement of the …
