Implementing A Bottom Of The Pyramid Eye Care Solution, Patrick Long, Eric Martin, Paden Troxell, Charles Kim

The International Undergraduate Journal For Service-Learning, Leadership, and Social Change

Eighty-nine percent of the world’s visually impaired live in low-income regions (IAPB/WHO), and uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of moderate and severe visual impairment. Poor eye care in developing nations hinders development and advancement by creating barriers to education and labor inefficiencies. In some developing countries, few individuals can afford, or even have access to, corrective eye care. We propose the global eye care problem can be addressed using bottom of the pyramid thinking.

All Capstone Projects

Worth School District 127 is located in the south suburbs of Chicago and maintains a K-8 student population of approximately 1,100. Sixty percent of Worth School District 127’s student population are considered to be of low socio-economic status (low SES) with the rate steadily increasing over the course of the last five years. Consequently, the growing number of students coming from low income backgrounds enrolled in Worth School District 127 has created a scenario where teacher exposure to the challenging academic, behavior, and social emotional scenarios that accompany the enrollment of this student demographic has increased. As a result, there …


Racial Identity And Resilience In Black Male College Graduates, Anancia Stafford Jan 2018

Racial Identity And Resilience In Black Male College Graduates, Anancia Stafford

All Capstone Projects

The aim of this study was to see if there was a relationship between Black male college graduates and non-graduates’ racial identity. This study also sought to see if there was a relationship between Black male college graduates and Black male non-graduates’ resilience.

The Underprepared And Underrepresented: Perceptions And Experiences Of Self-Efficacy On College Persistence Among Low-Income African American First-Generation College Students, Christine Marie Brown

All Capstone Projects

Approximately one-third of college students enrolled in colleges across the United States are first-generation students or those whose parents have not attained a post secondary degree. First-generation students are more likely to be students who are racially/ethnically diverse, low-income, and nearly four times more likely to leave college without a degree. College persistence refers to the students' desire and involved behaviors to maintain enrollment until degree attainment. A phenomenological approach was used to conduct face-to-face, in-depth semi-structured interviews to describe the essence of the lived experiences of low-income African American first-generation college students who persisted in four-year undergraduate programs. Results …


The Implications Of Participatory Budgeting In Illinois K-12 School Districts, Jeremy Larson Jan 2018

The Implications Of Participatory Budgeting In Illinois K-12 School Districts, Jeremy Larson

All Capstone Projects

Financial management skills are a necessity for every leader in the work environment. It helps them to make the best choices with the capital resources that are available. Non-profit organizations face the scarcity challenge, and it may be difficult to strike a balance when implementing the budgets. Acquiring financial management skills helps the leaders to carry out a cost-benefit analysis that allows them to determine the departments that need more resources, and as a result, they end up creating development even when faced with financial difficulties. Collaboration is a necessity and an essential aspect of the K-12 budgeting process because …
