A Meme Is Worth A Thousand Words: Universal Communication Through Memes, Marisa Mcgrady, Kathryn Elizabeth Cook

Faculty and Staff Publications & Presentations

With the rise of the digital age has come about a new form of communicating concepts—the meme: repeatable, transferable information. The purpose of this project is to understand the inclusive nature of internet communication not restricted by barriers. This format plays with the boundaries to imagination, creating a new form of communication not relying on language, color, or shape, but the interchange of these within an established concept. Memes have created a universal, living form of expression irrelevant of culture, region, age, or language in which individuals cross normal borders of expression and communication. We attempt to define the modern …

Engaging Master’S Level Students In Research At Primarily Teaching-Focused Institutions, Angie O'Gieblyn, Asha Mohammed Kadir, Philip Treiber

Faculty and Staff Publications & Presentations

Counselor educators at primarily teaching focused institutions often struggle to find both time and interested students to support an active research agenda.

The goal of this presentation is to provide counselor educators with an overview of the literature regarding research identity in Master’s level counseling students, as well as providing them with practical suggestions for increasing research collaborations with their students.

Q&A With Dr. Elizabeth Vargis | College Of Engineering, Utah State University

College of Engineering News

Q: What motivated you to pursue a career in biological engineering? What motivates you to stick with it? A: My father is a mechanical engineer and my mother is a microbiologist. I grew up working with my dad on projects around the house (whether they were necessary or not) and learning about weird diseases and new diagnostic tools from my mom. When I started college, I considered becoming a doctor but found myself more interested in working to make healthcare more effective and accessible. I work on those problems now, making better models of the human eye and developing new …

Giving Faculty A Public Voice: Higher Education Must Incentivize Its Faculty To Publicly Disseminate Their Ideas, Grant K. Kimberlin

The Liminal: Interdisciplinary Journal of Technology in Education

This paper considers higher education’s response to fake news to be a responsibility to more effectively communicate its ideas to the general public. Considering how the changing information landscape cultivates and interprets knowledge increasingly with less and less academic involvement, the issue of a post-truth world renders it more necessary than ever for higher education to be an active participant in public discourse. Further, this paper acknowledges the difficulties of doing so and advocates providing career incentives to faculty to take up this challenge. Current incentives reward self-referential discourse within academia, but given the changing times it is crucial for …

Beyond An Accommodation: A Mixed Methods Study Of Diversity Engagement In Academic Curriculum, Micah Jaryl Glenn

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Currently, 45% of all college students are classified as racial/ethnic minorities, while 56% of college students are female (NCES, 2018a). By 2030, nearly half of the estimated United States population will be composed of racial/ethnic minorities (Cortes, 1991). With this exponential growth of minorities attending institutions of higher education, there is the assumption that students have begun to engage in and promote diversity and inclusion. However, in 2008, Boysen and Vogel (2009) found that 40% of teachers and 50% of students encountered implicit or explicit bias while in college. In 2017, within four months, over 330 reported biased incidents occurred …

Changing Future Faculty's Conceptions Of Sotl, Darryl Reano, Stephanie Masta, Jon Harbor

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) programs provide graduate students across all disciplines with professional development that addresses a range of faculty responsibilities. The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) combines education research with the practice of teaching by implementing, disseminating, and applying research on educational practice and interventions. During a PFF program at a public university, we used a pre-post writing prompt to examine changes in future faculty’s conceptions of SoTL. Pre-workshop responses included misconceptions that indicated unfamiliarity with SoTL. Post-workshop responses had an increased emphasis on sharing outcomes from educational interventions. Only 8% of pre-workshop responses included all main elements …

Using multiple data sources and quantitative content analysis, this study found 28.7 percent of Catholic higher education institutions have a published social media policy and 27.5 percent of Catholic higher education institutions have a social media policy that covers faculty.

Investing In Faculty To Improve Attendance At Collegiate Athletic Events, Nicholas Ocampo

Honors Projects

NCAA Division I institutions across the nation have consistently experienced declining attendance numbers at home athletic events over the past few years. Acknowledging this downward trend, this study explores how making an investment in faculty can positively influence attendance numbers and faculty involvement in athletics. In addition, studies have supported the notion that a high level of fan support and attendance at athletic events can be correlated to team success. Accordingly, Bowling Green State University (BGSU), a mid-major school that sponsors 18 NCAA Division I varsity athletic programs, has implemented a faculty, staff and retiree ticketing program in order to …

Since America was attacked by terrorists on 9/11, the use of torture for counterterrorism tactics has become a highly-debated issue. Approximately half of adults in the United States believe torture is effective in stopping a terrorist threat, said Dr. Casey Delehanty, assistant professor of political science at Gardner-Webb University.
