Wouldn’t it be great if a composer, music producer, or songwriter could pay their rent by “renting” out their music? This demonstration will simplify the music licensing process, focus on researching music libraries, preparing songs for submissions and much more.

CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
Our panel will present results of a semester-long study on coffee's presence in our Writing and Communication Center and argue for the importance of ephemera in understanding how individuals experience their time in the center. Adding on to the existing discussions about space and writing centers, this presentation will address what has been lacking from the ongoing writing center conversation about coffee—until now.

This presentation will offer a case study of one writing center’s implementation and use of social media, and provide participants with strategies and suggestions for enhancing social media use in their writing centers. The NSU Write from the Start Writing and Communication Center (WCC) celebrated its grand opening at Nova Southeastern University in September 2018. This panel presentation will first provide an overview of the social media campaign and specific objectives that M.A. in Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media students at NSU completed as part of their WRIT 5900: Social Media Writing and Strategy course during the Summer 2018 to …
Why Do This And What Do I Need?: A Workshop For Preparing Swca Certification Proposals, Scott Whiddon, Russell Carpenter, Courtnie Morin, Kevin Dvorak, Joy Bracewell
Why Do This And What Do I Need?: A Workshop For Preparing Swca Certification Proposals, Scott Whiddon, Russell Carpenter, Courtnie Morin, Kevin Dvorak, Joy Bracewell
CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
In this workshop, participants will gain a detailed sense of the benefits for writing center certification via SWCA. After reviewing the process for certification design, current SWCA Research & Development committee members will guide workshop participants through a series of brainstorming activities to help directors begin to develop materials for application packets. The goal of this workshop is to help demystify the process of application, to prompt reflection on materials that centers might already have, and to encourage participation in the SWCA certification program.
Peer Writing Tutors And The On-Going Conversation About Student Engagement, Kevin Dvorak, Russell Carpenter, Jacqueline Lytle
Peer Writing Tutors And The On-Going Conversation About Student Engagement, Kevin Dvorak, Russell Carpenter, Jacqueline Lytle
CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
The presenters -- directors and a student-leader of two writing and communication centers -- will take the ongoing conversation of student engagement and writing centers in a new direction. Building on the conversation Kail, Gillespie, and Hughes initiated on assessing peer tutor alumni, presenters will examine how centers create the types of learning experiences that engage staff members within their centers, universities, and communities. Using student engagement research as a foundation, the two centers developed “engagement surveys” that measured how working in the writing center influenced their tutors’ experiences as students. Presenters analyze results and implications for the role writing …

Muslim Youth Experiences In South Florida Communities, Cheryl Lynn Duckworth
Muslim Youth Experiences In South Florida Communities, Cheryl Lynn Duckworth
CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
Peace education scholars and practitioners continue to call for the centering of the voices and lived experiences of marginalized students (Bajaj, Ghaffar-Kucker and Desai, 2016). Situated in this urgent tradition, this presentation presents data from focus groups with young Muslim community members in S. Florida in the post-9/11 era. As a religious and ethnic minority group in South Florida, Muslim students would seem to be uniquely vulnerable in this time of rising xenophobia and Islamophobia. This particular study builds on the researcher’s prior work regarding the “school to terror pipeline” impacting France’s Muslim students (Duckworth 2016), and how teachers approach …
Results From A Multi-Site Survey Of Course-Embedded/Peer-To-Peer Writing Support Programs, Scott Whiddon, Julia Bleakney, Russell Carpenter, Kevin Dvorak, Paula Rosinski
Results From A Multi-Site Survey Of Course-Embedded/Peer-To-Peer Writing Support Programs, Scott Whiddon, Julia Bleakney, Russell Carpenter, Kevin Dvorak, Paula Rosinski
CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
Although course-embedded programs (such as writing fellows, writing center fellows, or writing associates) have been examined at single institutions in terms of training, faculty support, and assessment, writing center researchers have rarely studied these programs across multiple sites. Our panel provides results from a large-scale multi-institution survey of students, faculty, and staffers in classes with course-embedded writing support programs, at four SWCA institutions that differ in terms of size and mission. This project and research results showcase the perceived value and impact of course-embedded, peer-to-peer writing support.

A Transition To Using Online Learning Modules For Staff Education, Kevin Dvorak, Kelly A. Concannon, Jacqueline Lytle, Emalee M. Shrewsbury, Michaela Greer
CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
This panel will discuss how a writing center transitioned staff education and training from being primarily onsite to being primarily online. We will review methods used to develop a series of online learning modules, how we conducted assessment, and how we plan to revise in the future.

Awakenings: An Equine Assisted Learning Research Project, Shelley K. Green, Monica Schroeder, Michael Rolleston, Cynthia Penalva
CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
Objective. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if and how the Awakenings Equine Assisted Learning program was effective at improving the professionalism, confidence, communication skills and adaptability of students preparing for careers as Anesthesiologist Assistants. Background. Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a rapidly growing experiential model that utilizes horses to enhance participants' awareness of their own non-verbal language, communication styles, projection of self-confidence and competence, and problem-solving abilities (Chandler, 2012; Green, 2012, 2013; Kane, 2012; Trotter, 2012). Methods. As a part of their regular educational and clinical rotations, first year students in the Anesthesiologist Assistant (AA) program …

A Randomized Trial Of Brief Assessment Interventions To Reduce Hiv/Sti Sexual Risk And Drug Use Among Young Adults Who Use Drugs In The Club Scene, Steven P. Kurtz, Mance E. Buttram, Maria Elizabeth Pagano, Hilary L Surratt
A Randomized Trial Of Brief Assessment Interventions To Reduce Hiv/Sti Sexual Risk And Drug Use Among Young Adults Who Use Drugs In The Club Scene, Steven P. Kurtz, Mance E. Buttram, Maria Elizabeth Pagano, Hilary L Surratt
CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
Extensive polydrug use puts nightclub attendees at high risk for health problems, including HIV/ STI; mental distress; and drug dependence.
There is pervasive resistance to participation in formal interventions. Club scene participants tend to be suspicious of or disinterested in drug use and sexual risk prevention messages delivered by governmental or health authorities.
Efficacious interventions to reduce sexual risk, drug use, and related consequences for this population are not apparent in the literature.

“Posing Off:” Performance And Body Language On The Jamaican Stage, Andrea Elizabeth Shaw-Nevins
CAHSS Faculty Presentations, Proceedings, Lectures, and Symposia
My paper will explore reggae dancehall album covers and the seductive yet dismissive ways in which bodies pose for the camera while concurrently seeming to ignore it. What accounts for this intrigue with the camera as well as an apparent repulsion towards it? Within the arena of national beauty politics, how do we account for those Caribbean bodies that are positioned for the global camera?
