Period Poverty is an issue affecting millions of people in the US alone, and in the face of this inequity, many public and private initiatives have been created to address this problem with varying degrees of success. By surveying students and interviewing public and community administrators, we have uncovered how these systems can improve to most effectively meet the needs of the communities they seek to serve. While often the primary complaint of menstruators who utilize these resources are that they are often understocked, this paper explores many other improvements which students would benefit from - such as more streamlined communication systems, improved quality and variety of products, and more efficient operational relationships.

Students who transfer to a university from a community college are a diverse, resilient group of individuals who often face many challenges and barriers upon transitioning from a 2-year institution to a 4-year institution. Due to their upper-division status upon arrival at the university, transfer students are often overlooked and even unsupported throughout multiple aspects of the transfer process. To further understand the issues that are faced by transfer students throughout the transfer process, we conducted research to get a better understanding of exactly who transfer students are, what challenges they face, and how universities can better support these students so they are able to complete their baccalaureate. We compiled this research into an annotated bibliography and developed a presentation to discuss our findings, personal anecdotes, and the suggestions we have to help Barrett, the Honors College move towards a more transfer-receptive culture. All questions asked during the presentation have been documented.
