Halfway: The Legacy Of Civilian Conservation Corps Company #704, Maxibillion Thompson

Student Academic Conference

Civilian Conservation Corps Company #704 began operations in 1933 approximately 10 miles southeast of Ely, MN, based at the site known as Halfway Camp F-1. This presentation explores some of the legacy they left in the region in the form of ecological projects and recreational structures, as well as the few remaining signs of their former camp on the shores of Birch Lake.

Personality Based Career Exposure: A Poster Series, Abigail Evans

Student Research Symposium

The idea behind this project is to create a poster series that challenges students to begin thinking and exploring their future in a low pressure way. If the educational system begins introducing ideas of different career paths earlier on, will the transition from late-high school to higher level education and real life be more empowering for students? While this may seem simple, many curriculums deflect different ideas of career decisions until students reach approximately 17-18 years of age or older. This issue could be resolved by posters included in this series passively hanging on a wall for students to contemplate. …

Memento Mori Photography Exhibition, Hailey Larson

Student Research Symposium

Artists Statement: I am an artist because art and photography allow me to escape the reality of life and imagine something new. It allows me to see past my own life and into someone else's, whether it be past, present, or future. As a deaf person, I grew up only experiencing half of the world's sound, forcing me to rely heavily on my vision and piece together life around me through visual storytelling. It’s why I think photography piqued my curiosity from such a young age. Because to take a picture is to capture a piece of reality. As I …

Historic Buildings: The Impact On Sustainability And Design, Sierra Stuart

Student Research Symposium

Historic districts or buildings are commonly found in many cities or towns and are often associated with a charming feel, but there is so much more. They hold hidden values and stories that play a role in each space. Historic buildings greatly impact sustainability by reducing material consumption and energy that could have been used to tear down a building and build a new one. Creating a sustainable space may look like restoring windows, adding insulation, and specifying durable furniture and furnishings with the space. When historic buildings are designed with a careful and knowledgeable mind, they can add to …

Recidivism And Interventions: A Measure Of The Effectiveness Of The Criminal Justice System, Andelin Hutchings

Student Research Symposium

Looking at the rates of recidivism in the United States is a valuable piece of information that we can use to determine the effectiveness of our criminal justice system. When I evaluated the information we currently have, I found that our rate of recidivism is among the highest in developed nations, at around 76.6%. My objective was to investigate the current programs and interventions already in place in order to determine the efficacy of those interventions in reducing recidivism. In order to do this, I read many different peer-reviewed articles, making sure to pull from Marginalized and Underrepresented Scholars. After …

Mother-Daughter Relationships In Latin American Immigrant Households, Megan Updike

Student Research Symposium

The life of an immigrant is challenging and characterized by trauma, experienced from the political, economic, and/or violent turmoil that compelled them to leave their homelands and the discrimination, cultural shock, and other physical or emotional obstacles that they experience in their new home. Many Latin American authors utilize their writing to share their personal experiences as immigrants of first or second generation in the United States, as well as express the trauma that is shared between them and their families. As the multi-generational dynamic of gender roles and trauma in the immigrant family is analyzed, a recurring theme of …

Becoming A Poet: The Moment Of Metamorphosis, Lauren Mckinnon

Student Research Symposium

The moment a writer qualifies for the title of poet is undetermined. To gauge if such a moment exists, I launched a mixed method study comparing the perspectives of different published poets. During my study, I interviewed three Cache Valley poets who have their own published books of poetry. In addition, sixteen Utah State University creative writing contest winners were surveyed. My study aims to i) determine the extent to which we can say that there is a decisive moment of change when an individual becomes a poet; and ii) identify the key factors which constitute this shift in identity—sudden …

Kanak Culture Of New Caledonia, Tessa Thornley Blackham

Student Research Symposium

This study focuses on New Caledonia poet, Déwé Gorodey (or Gorodé), and her writings. New Caledonia, a territory of France, is an island in the Pacific Ocean. The island was colonized in the mid-1800s, affecting the Melanesian natives. The natives are more commonly known as Kanaks and have seen years of repression under the French regime. Because of government intervention, most of the Kanak “coutume” (custom in French) has been limited. The coutume is an almost intangible presence of Kanaky culture, affecting their everyday life and decision. Déwé Gorodey was a prominent political figure during years of unrest. Most of …
