In an effort to address the lack of literature in on-campus active travel, this study aims to investigate the following primary questions:<br/>• What are the modes that students use to travel on campus?<br/>• What are the motivations that underlie the mode choice of students on campus?<br/>My first stage of research involved a series of qualitative investigations. I held one-on-one virtual interviews with students in which I asked them questions about the mode they use and why they feel that their chosen mode works best for them. These interviews served two functions. First, they provided me with insight into the various motivations underlying student mode choice. Second, they provided me with an indication of what explanatory variables should be included in a model of mode choice on campus.<br/>The first half of the research project informed a quantitative survey that was released via the Honors Digest to attract student respondents. Data was gathered on travel behavior as well as relevant explanatory variables.<br/>My analysis involved developing a logit model to predict student mode choice on campus and presenting the model estimation in conjunction with a discussion of student travel motivations based on the qualitative interviews. I use this information to make a recommendation on how campus infrastructure could be modified to better support the needs of the student population.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a chronic health condition in which there is a lack of blood flow to the heart. This can cause dizziness, fatigue, and an increased heart rate (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2017). These symptoms are only a few of many that may present in patients with POTS, and each patient’s symptoms present with varying intensity. Additionally, there is no set criteria for diagnosing POTS (Olshansky, et al., 2020). Because of this, it is extremely difficult to diagnose patients with POTS and the process can take years. Patients with POTS often seek insight and care from multiple providers which often leads to confusion or no answers. Many times, patients with POTS are diagnosed via a series of procedures that must be done as they face a lifetime with the disease. The lived experiences of patients with POTS are not widely known. It is thus essential to explore this gap in the literature in order to better understand how this disease affects all aspects of a person’s life and inform future research into POTS and develop solutions. This study aims to answer the following research questions: What is the experience of someone with POTS from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis and treatment? What are the attitudes of people going through being diagnosed with POTS?

This study is a systematic review of the current literature surrounding intergenerational trauma in Southeast Asian (SEA) immigrant/refugee families. This review was guided upon using the 2020 PRISMA criteria and framework. After a parallel search across several databases, 14 articles were qualified for inclusion after reviewing exclusion criteria. Across these articles, five main aims were examined: the effect of trauma on parent mental health, the effect on child mental health, the effect on parenting, the effect on family dynamics/relationship, and an exploratory aim on current recommended interventions. The literature indicated that negative mental health outcomes were often present in parents and affected the quality of parenting. Child mental health was negatively affected through close interactions with the parent. Certain parenting behaviors and styles were associated with traumatized parents, which led to the development of attachment issues in children. Family dynamics and relationships were impacted by conflicting cultures and beliefs they were raised with in the United States and the ones taught at home by their parents. Current recommendations for interventions involve therapy, understanding culture and context of trauma, and as well as utilizing the support and influence of the community. There are many gaps in current research and more examination of intergenerational trauma amongst SEA populations is needed to better understand this complex issue in order to improve the relationship between parents, children, and overall family suffering from the effects of intergenerational trauma. Further recommendations for research, gaps in literature, and implications for this study are explored.
