Socioeconomic Background: Enlistees Versus Rotc Cadets, Kyle Neuman
Social Sciences
The intent of this research project is to determine what socioeconomic factors lead to enlisting versus enrolling as an ROTC cadet. It provides details that lead them to take the military route but specifically, which one.

Impacts Of Extended Family Households Among Latinos On The Central Coast, Ca, Fredy Figueroa, Chelsea Williams
Social Sciences

Based on our research, we concluded that the long-term emotional and economic benefits associated with extended family households greatly outweigh the inconsequential, short-term disadvantages that result from this situation.
