I Sh*T You Not, Jordan Dollar

Graduate Scholarly Works

"I Sh*t You Not" is an exercise in "edutainment" intended to instill feelings of skepticism and curiosity in its players when confronted with attention-grabbing headlines.

Making The Case For The Use Of The Ksu Archives And Special Collections Through Interpretive Videos, Helen Thomas 2019 Kennesaw State University

Making The Case For The Use Of The Ksu Archives And Special Collections Through Interpretive Videos, Helen Thomas

Graduate Scholarly Works

One of the challenges faced by Kennesaw State University’s Museums, Archives and Rare Books Department is a lack of awareness of both the existence of our collections and the many potential research applications that archives and rare books provide. This series of short videos makes the case to potential users as to why we collect these materials and how they are useful and relevant to a variety of research interests. Each video pairs an item or collection from the KSU Archives and Special Collections (including the Bentley Rare Book Museum) with expert interpretation provided by a KSU faculty member in …

Write It Out: Reflective Writing In Writing Centers

Symposium of Student Scholars

Mental health sometimes evades academic discussions about creating an accessible environment for disabled students. However, this matter continues to influence student life. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, “75 percent of lifetime cases of mental health conditions begin by age 24.” Furthermore, within the same study, they assert that one in four students are diagnosed with mental illness (eleven percent with anxiety; ten percent with depression), and over eighty percent of students experience overwhelming stress because of myriad reasons. Ultimately, these findings reveal that, for many students, mental issues remain a focal point in their lives, and writing …
