WWU Honors College Senior Projects
The purpose of this paper is to highlight lessons from various areas of academia that I feel would benefit all social science.

The Qualitative Report
This article describes and reflects on the analytical process undertaken on a qualitative case study analysis exploring the concept of interprofessional education (IPE) in Malta.

This paper offers a reflective account of my experience in using NVivo highlighting the potential of this software as facilitating a more rigorous and transparent approach to qualitative data analysis.

Eco-Campus: The Application Of The Eco-City Model To The Development Of Green University And College Campuses, Jennifer Massey
Jennifer Massey
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to argue that Richard Register’s ecocity model offers a strategic framework to help guide sustainability initiatives in North American higher education (HE) institutions. Design/methodology/approach – This conceptual paper examines the theory of the ecocity and investigates the implications for its proposed building strategies for university and colleges, as institutions seek to create more sustainable campuses. The paper examines previous efforts to achieve sustainability and how the concept of the eco-campus can be practically and productively applied. Findings – There is no single campus that has fully embraced every facet of sustainability, but …
