Coming Of Age In Covid-19: An Ethnographic Study On The University Of Vermont Community, Miranda Whitley Miller
UVM College of Arts and Sciences College Honors Theses
This project examines how undergraduate students and administration at one particular institution, the University of Vermont, experienced, responded to, and understood the social effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. As one of the first U.S. colleges to go into lockdown during March 2020, and a primary medical center of the state of Vermont, the University of Vermont played a unique role in the still-unfolding pandemic. This autoethnographic study explored students’ and administrators’ experiences and reflections on how the first three years of Covid-19 affected everyday life, documenting both how these years continue to shape social interactions and power relations on campus, …

Methods: A REDCap survey, consisting of the GAD-7 measure of anxiety, screen time questionnaire, …

It was hypothesized that participants would experience higher levels of distress and more negative self-concepts during Time 2 than during Time 1. Participants included 146 college students aged 18 to 23 years old from various schools, mainly the University of Vermont. Participants were given an online questionnaire asking questions about their current romantic and sexual beliefs and behaviors …

I will extend the Ramsey (1928) Cass (1965) Koopmans (1965) economic growth model to include the Schofield (1985) equation which connects food consumption and body weight over time. I present theoretical results and run simulations of the model to describe the evolution of food consumption and body weight in the United States as a result …

How might we honor the wisdom that is emerging to support liberation, healing, and deepened accountability practices? Throughout this project I engaged with a suite of methods that focused on my …

Early detection and recognition of melanoma through full body skin exam screenings and biopsies is critical to identify early-stage melanoma and decrease progression to metastasis. The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic led to a significant disruption in the volume and format of routine dermatologic outpatient care. In Vermont, the pandemic caused two months of a near hospital-wide shut down at the University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC) and a prolonged period of reduced clinic appointments beginning in March 2020.
