Music Programs In Urban Schools, Mikayla Battistone
18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2019)
It is important to implement and maintain a music program within an urban school containing a high population of at-risk students. With the awareness of mental illness increasing, we are more knowledgeable of the cognitive deficits caused by ongoing abuse and neglect--often called complex trauma. The effects music can have on the brain combats the negative cognitive and emotional impacts of complex trauma, which is essentially the goal of music therapy. Not every child has the opportunity and/or means to experience music therapy. However, if music programs are offered in schools, kids can reap the positive benefits of music by …

Stage Management For Cry It Out, Katie Joachim
18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2019)
Over the course of seven weeks, the Hope College Theatre Department produced the play Cry It Out by Molly Smith Metzler. The stage management team led each rehearsal and created rehearsal schedules and reports. This information was then synthesized and communicated with the design and production teams, then later reviewed and discussed in production meetings. As the play moved from standard rehearsals into technical rehearsals, the stage manager oversaw all the backstage crews and technicians. In performance, the stage manager called every lighting and sound cue, while keeping an open line of communication with the Assistant Stage Managers, Light Board …

Hope College And The Vietnam War Era: "We Only Started To Care When It Affected Us.", Halla Maas, Olivia Brickley
18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2019)
This project focuses on Hope College during the Vietnam War era. During this time, the draft created moral dilemmas for both students and faculty. When it started affecting themselves and people they knew, students felt that they needed to be educated about the war. The draft also meant that students sought deferments through such means as studying ministry, pre med, and other sciences. Hope students noticed that young men who were able to avoid the draft were usually privileged and not a part of the minority class. This led many Hope students to protest the draft and the war. These …

The Forgotten Expedition Of The Michigan Polar Bears, Laura Anthon, Jamie Breyfogle, Timothy Embertson, Natalie Weg
18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2019)
The Michigan Polar Bear expedition saw Allied forces leading a controversial excursion into Northern Russia during the concluding years of World War I. Despite thousands of soldiers being sent to interfere with the Russian Civil War, the Polar Bear Expedition has been lost from collective memory. We publicly inquired about the expedition, then combined this research with a found scholarly consensus about the lack of cognizance relating to the events. This revealed a disconnect, which led us to inquire as to the nature and origin of its historical omission. Our primary sources of research focused on the oral histories of …

Evidence For Equality?: Guatemalan Adolescents' Views On Gender, Amy E. Beasley, Katelyn E. Poelker, Judith L. Gibbons, Danielle Skogen
18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2019)
Guatemala is known for its beautiful landscapes, delicious food, and vibrant traditional textiles. Despite the country’s many treasures, Guatemalans face many challenges including gender inequality and wealth disparity. Issues pertaining to youth are of particular importance, as approximately 56% of the population is under 25 years old (Central Intelligence Agency, 2018). Gender inequality in Guatemala may be perpetuated by traditional values of machismo and marianismo (Gibbons & Luna, 2015). Machismo refers to the expectation that men be dominant, respected, and strong providers for their family (Arciniega, Anderson, Tover-Blank, & Travey, 2008). Conversely, marianismo is the expectation that women be pure …
Found In Translation: The Complexities Of Edgar Allan Poe In Translation By Charles Baudelaire, Kellyanne Fitzgerald
Found In Translation: The Complexities Of Edgar Allan Poe In Translation By Charles Baudelaire, Kellyanne Fitzgerald
18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2019)
Literary critics have traditionally lauded Charles Baudelaire’s work in translation as the key reason for the success of Edgar Allan Poe in France. While Baudelaire’s voice and editorial choices did affect his translations, the success of his Poe translations was not entirely due to his choices. An idiosyncrasy in the relationship between Poe’s writing style and the structure of French syntax is one of several factors which elevate Poe in translation, which suggests a more complex situation than critics have previously realized. Understanding the context of a translation and the constituent factors of its success (or lack thereof) allows readers …
