“We Still Exist”: Communication Experiences Among Transfer Student Socialization, Kampton Carter

Pepperdine Journal of Communication Research

Transfer students typically have a distinct college experience from those who enter universities as first-year students. It is important to consider the differences between transfer students and the traditional student population, as these differences may significantly impact their adaptation to a new university. This research draws on interviews with five students who transferred to a faith-based private liberal arts university in the West from other institutions. These interviews revealed that transfer students go through three stages of the encounter phase of socialization: (1) barriers to integration, (2) adjustments to choices and expectations surrounding community and isolation, and (3) empowerment from …

Student Perceptions Of Service Quality Provided By Their University, Alex Brinkmeier, Melissa Clark, Monica B. Fine

The Coastal Business Journal

Purpose: The student-to-college/university relationship is akin to the buyer-seller relationship in marketing. Buyers vary based on their level of involvement (i.e. engagement), motivation, attitudes, and expectation of the buying experiences. Sellers, on the other hand, work to create a brand message and to share that message with existing and prospective customers. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that impact the perceptions of service quality held by current students in higher education.

Research Methodology: This study examines the individual student/consumer influences (i.e., involvement, motivation, attitude, and expectations) on student perceptions of service quality. Well-established measures of service …

Conceptualizing A Virtual African American Heritage Trail In Georgetown, South Carolina: A Marketing And Destination Staging Framework, Jerome Christia, Jacqueline Calhoun, Elisabeth Dellegrazie

The Coastal Business Journal

This article proposes a destination-planning framework for conceptualizing a Virtual African American Heritage Trail in Georgetown County, South Carolina. Located within the coastal region of South Carolina and between the major tourism markets of Charleston and Myrtle Beach, Georgetown contains a historically rich but spatially dispersed landscape of African American heritage sites that remain underrepresented in regional tourism promotion.

To address this gap, the study integrates the AIDA hierarchy of effects with Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) to explain how virtual interpretation can support early-stage destination development. AIDA is used to illustrate how digital engagement can move audiences from …

Current Expected Credit Losses (Cecl): The Impact Of Accounting Standards Codification 326 On Lending Institutions, Douglas K. Schneider, Mark Mccarthy

The Coastal Business Journal

The manuscript describes the financial reporting impact on lenders of a new accounting rule, referred to as CECL, for current expected credit losses. Starting in 2020 all lending institutions that issue GAAP financial statements are required to apply the new CECL accounting method for recognizing credit losses. This new method is a departure from the former “incurred loss” accounting method that used information from past events and current conditions to estimate loan losses. The new method, CECL, recognizes loan losses that are expected to occur in the future. The annual results presented in the manuscript from 2018 through 2022, and …

Ultras: Rethinking Tax Policy For Digital Assets, Lauren Liedel

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

This comment examines the challenges current federal tax policy faces in addressing the rapidly expanding and volatile digital asset market. The author argues that the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) current "piecemeal" approach to defining taxable events—such as mining and staking—creates significant uncertainty for taxpayers and leads to strategic litigation. To resolve these issues, the article proposes the adoption of Unliquidated Tax Reserve Accounts (ULTRAs) as an alternative reporting framework. By utilizing blockchain's inherent capability to track notional interests, ULTRAs allow the IRS to account for economic activity while offering taxpayers the flexibility to defer actual payment until the assets are …

Guarding The Game: Building A Defensive Line Between Athletes' Biometric Data And Gambling Interests, Caroline Hébert

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

This comment examines the intersection of wearable technology, professional sports, and the burgeoning sports betting industry. Focusing primarily on the National Football League (NFL), the author explores how biometric markers such as heart rate, stress levels, and fatigue—originally intended for player health and performance—are increasingly targeted for commercialization in the gambling market. The comment provides a critical analysis of the current legal landscape, noting that existing frameworks like HIPAA and GINA, as well as current Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), offer insufficient protections for athletes' sensitive personal data. Hébert identifies key points of exploitation by third-party vendors and highlights the conflicting …

On The Need For Intelligent Link Management In Wifi 7 Mlo, Logan Lux, André Gomes

STEM Student Research Symposium Posters

Wi-Fi 7 EMLSR allows devices to use multiple wireless links to improve throughput and reduce latency, but its real-world performance depends heavily on network conditions. This project investigates the need for intelligent link management in Wi-Fi 7 EMLSR by building a real testbed to measure performance.

Expanding The Fossil Record Of Hippopotamodon (Suidae, Artiodactyla) From The Hasnot Area, Siwalik, Pakistan, Muhammad Ilyas, Rana Mehroz Fazal, Sayyed Ghyour Abbas, Misbah Faiz, Kiran Aftab, Abdul Ghaffar, Khizar Samiullah, Luke Holbrook

STEM Student Research Symposium Posters

The suid genus Hippopotamodon with its type species H. sivalense, is well known from Upper Miocene deposits in Eurasia. Its taxonomic history has been characterized by considerable instability, including early misassignments to genera such as Sus and Potamochoerus, and subsequent reclassifications involving Propotamochoerus, Dicoryphochoerus, and Microstonyx. This confusion primarily resulted from an overreliance on variable dental and canine morphology. Subsequent systematic revisions attempted to resolve these issues by proposing synonymies among these taxa, although debate has continued regarding the relationship between Hippopotamodon and Microstonyx. Recent work supports the synonymy of these taxa based on shared diagnostic features across Eurasian material. …
