Through personal experience, my co-founder and I know that young adults often get wrapped up in their work and can forget about the key aspects of life like friendship, mental and physical health, and going to an exciting event. These issues are particularly prevent when someone is planting roots in a new city. In order to form a solution to this daunting feeling of unfamiliarity and disconnectedness, we have created The Loop which is an app that aims to combat these problems in young adults’ lives. This app provides a platform for young adults all around their designated city to find comfort in small communities. We gather data of the user’s interests and they then are presented a wide variety of events and “loops” to join that cater to their preferences. With this app, we hope that young adults can find their home away from home and we will provide that for them by keeping them in the loop.

This paper discusses the effects of community efforts and collaboration in nonprofit organizations. The project specifically worked with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), which is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that packs and ships meals to children in third-world countries. In order to raise money for the organization, Arizona State University students collaborated and created artwork pieces to raffle off to donors. This paper discusses the execution of the project, the results of the artwork pieces and the fundraiser, as well as nonprofit tools that were used during the fundraising process. Additionally, the paper discusses how small actions can lead to a bigger impact and how this concept ties into the culture of FMSC itself.

With the acknowledgement of Type 2 Diabetes as a disease that disproportionately affects the Latinx communities, this study is designed to look at the relationship between health literacy and diabetes awareness. This research was conducted using data from Dr. Felipe Castro's previous study on Latino Lifestyles for Diabetes Prevention. Multiple linear regressions were ran to find the correlation between certain measures and diabetes awareness. Major findings included seeing the positive relationship between education and diabetes awareness and the negative correlation between Behavior Intentions Self Monitoring and diabetes awareness. Further studies are required to see how different social factors impact an individual's ability to gain health literacy regarding Type 2 Diabetes.

Description
Current design strategies and building methods rely heavily on manufactured materials which have negative impacts on the environment and the building’s users. This thesis advocates for sustainable solutions that harmonize with the environment. By employing locally sourced materials, emissions from transportation are minimized and hazardous materials are avoided. Biophilic design principles foster a deeper connection between users and their surroundings, yielding numerous health benefits for the occupants. This Barrett creative project explores design strategies tailored to Arizona's local environment, drawing from research on material use and cultural significance. Case studies are included to exemplify successful implementations of the concepts. The paper culminates in a comprehensive exploration of my creative project design which highlights the strategies discussed and my personal takeaways relating to the topic.
