Graduate Project and Thesis
I welcomed the opportunity to supervise and serve as a reader of a Graduate Project and Thesis (SW 5960, Fall 2016; and SW 5992, Spring 2017). Specifically, I supervised Amber Simmons Graduate Project that focused on raising awareness of suicide among college students and served as a reader (committee member) on Tsola Ekokai thesis, which examined the sex reassignment decision-making process of Nigerian parents, living in the U.S., who have an intersex child. At the outset of the process, I met with each student one-on-one to learn more about their particular interests and ascertain how I might best serve the students. I met regularly with students to consistently enforce standards of rigor and academic conduct

  • Intersectionality In Education

    Intersectionality is an analytical tool that can assist policy makers in creating programs and policies to help combat inequities on campus. Intersectionality explores new research and policy approaches to understand the connections between structures that shape diverse populations (Hankivsky, 2014). The acronym LGBT gives evidence that people who identity cannot be placed in a single category. Not only do they suffer injustices because of their sexual orientation, but also for their race, gender, ability, disability, and age. No written policy in higher education is without use of intersectionality framework. It is a necessity because of the diverse student body attending institutions of higher education. Intersectionality requires focus on points of intersection, complexity, dynamic processes, and the structures that define our access to rights and opportunities, rather than on defined categories or isolated issue areas (Symington,

    ...in a college setting through a scientific perspective, I became able to eliminate (to some extent) personal and cultural biases when constructing my individual attitudes towards different sexuality subjects. And as a result, my beliefs toward many sexuality subjects morphed. Negative, as well as ignorant opinions that I’ve previously held towards certain sexuality issues such as homosexuality or prostitution became more positive due to the intelligence the course provided me with. Also, by gaining further knowledge on personal experiences of sexuality, such as masturbation or premature ejaculation, I was able to find relief through identifying my experiences, beliefs, and attitudes with my peers.

    On July 2, 1962, the first Wal-Mart store opened in Arkansas, and over the next 50 years, Wal-Mart became a retail giant. Holding the title of the world’s largest employer, only comparable to the United States Department of Defense and Chinas Army, Wal-Mart employs over 2.1 million people. Sam Walton’s philosophy was low prices. Instead of offering good sales every once in a while, Walton offered an “always lower price” than competitors on things that ordinary people use every day. This philosophy continues to attract more than 140 million shoppers per week. This staggering amount of shoppers helped produce a revenue of $443billion for fiscal year 2012 alone (Matthews, 2012). With more than 6,000 stores in 14 countries, Wal-Mart produces remarkable revenue each year (Hesterly, 2010). With literally billions pouring into the company, one must assess how the money is controlled and if its accounted for by the best contemporary management techniques on the market. While Wal-Mart thrives on the use of benchmarketing and lean accounting, the Theory of Constraints paired with lean accounting could produce staggering results for Wal-Mart in terms of financial management.

One of the topics in this course that stood out to me was the discussion on transgender oppression, before coming to college, information about the transgender community and even sectors of the LGBTQ community was somewhat taboo to me..

    Most scientists agree that humans are contributing to global warming effects around the world. The existence of the polar ice caps and the rate at which they are melting are threatened by global warming. This threat is leading scientists to use geothermal energy in our everyday lives in hopes of preserving the polar ice caps. In order for people to thinking about helping to preserve them, they need to understand polar ice caps. Because polar ice caps are melting, there are many issues occurring in our world such as natural disasters. People are impacting the melting of the ice caps but, the ice caps are also impacting people as well. One alternative to using fossil fuels is geothermal energy. Geothermal energy can change the way we use resources from the earth forever, and potentially slow the rate of global warming.

    I began my project relatively late in my senior year, much to the sorrow of my mentor and advisor. Nevertheless, the point of our senior project is to showcase what we plan to do or study after high school. Ever since I was little, I always wanted to become an engineer; so for my senior project, I decided to build a 3D printer. I chose to build a 3D printer because I believe that it was a great way to demonstrate what I would be doing as a Mechanical Engineer. My mentor was actually the one that suggested to me that I should build a printer in the first place.
