Nasser Of Egypt And The Egypt Of Nasser, Pria G. Jackson
Nasser Of Egypt And The Egypt Of Nasser, Pria G. Jackson
Undergraduate Research Awards
In the Egyptian consciousness, there is a date that resonates in the nation’s memory as the official catalyst that led to the rise of modern Egypt: July 23, 1952. On this day, a military group called the Free Officers rose up and seized control of Egypt from the monarchs and British colonizers in a near bloodless coup d’état. The face of the Free Officers at the time of the coup was General Muhammad Naguib (1901 – 1984), but the brain and heart of the movement was the then colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918 – 1970). During the first three years …

What Is The Nature Of Appalachian Identity?, Elizabeth Trout
Communication Studies Student Scholarship
Personal identity affects the way one views themselves, and the world around them. This in turn affects the way that they interact with others, and how they communicate.

This identity is influenced by region and sense of place, race and language. The Appalachian identity is unique and complex in nature.

The Case For Women In Financial Services, Thao Thanh Nguyen
The Case For Women In Financial Services, Thao Thanh Nguyen
Undergraduate Research Awards
Finance literature has been studying the gender gap and the roles of women in business and finance. Focusing on mutual fund management, this study revisits the idea by investigating the impact of gender-specific investing styles on the level of volatility involved with the funds. The initial hypothesis is that the performance of funds managed by females is less volatile compared to funds managed by males. If we have statistical evidence to show this hypothesis is valid, gender diversification should be encouraged in asset management. The empirical results show evidence that the participation of women in fund management lowers the ten …

For this paper a rhetorical analysis of Obama’s addresses was performed using a form of genre criticism. The components of this genre criticism were drawn from Robert Dennis and Adrienne Dennis Kunkel’s (2004) framework concerning national eulogy rhetoric. The results of this analysis …

Targeting Point Of Need To Increase Traffic To Library Resources, James C. Miller
Targeting Point Of Need To Increase Traffic To Library Resources, James C. Miller
WRL Staff Scholarship
This paper examines the effect of creating LibGuides tailored to a student’s point of need and focuses on their potential to boost usage of library resources. In this study, LibGuides were designed for specific assignments and introduced to students during library instruction sessions. Pre‐ and Post‐LibGuide web traffic suggests that LibGuides increased web traffic to library resources. This article suggests that library resources should not only provide sources for assignments but also assist a student through the stages of completing an assignment. As a corollary benefit, creation of assignment‐specific LibGuides increased collaboration and discussion between faculty and librarians.
