The purpose of this study was to examine the level of relationship that existed between undergraduates with physical disabilities at East Tennessee State University and campus student organizations. The study was designated a case study as it focused on one institution of higher education. Interview and document review were the 2 methods used for data collection. People from 2 select groups were interviewed on a one-on-one basis. One group was people involved in recruiting for selected campus organizations geared toward undergraduates and the other group was undergraduates with observable physical disabilities. Constitutions, bylaws, mission statements, and other documents offered by the recruiters for the select organizations were reviewed in an effort to discover references to people with disabilities. The results of the study are intended to assist in bridging the gap between involvement in extracurricular organizations and undergraduates with physical disabilities at East Tennessee State University. It has been documented that increased campus involvement lends itself to successful college and post-graduate careers, so it is a relevant issue to resolve. Campus organizations can benefit because their recruiters will have the opportunity to view ways to reach a new pool of possible participants. The findings could also prove beneficial to any campus experiencing a similar phenomenon.

Despite being safe and effective, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates are lower than other recommended adolescent vaccines. CDC recommends catch-up vaccination for all persons through age 26 years if not adequately vaccinated when younger making college campuses an important site for catch-up vaccination programs. The project is a quality improvement project being implemented on a public southeastern college campus. The campus health services clinic is the setting for the practice change. Aims: The overall purpose of the QI project is to enhance usage of current CDC HPV recommendations and increase campus population awareness of HPV. Processes: The project received a “Determination of Not Human Subjects Research” from the ETSU Human Research Protection Program. Staff in-service detailing the practice change for routine HPV vaccine status assessment and promotion of HPV vaccination, based on CDC HPV recommendations. Digital-based HPV education materials are being shared with both health services and the student wellness ambassador group. The ambassador group will share items with the campus community via social media and flyers. An optional, anonymous survey will be available when accessing the digital HPV content. De-identified chart audit data will be monitored to assess adoption of the practice change. Nonidentifiable digital access data will be used to assess usage of the educational materials. Results: The final results of the QI project will not be available. Preliminary descriptive statistics will be presented. Limitations: The vaccine isn’t available on campus and the electronic health record lacks directed HPV vaccine assessment on most visit forms. Conclusions: The preliminary conclusions and impact will be presented.

Adherence to masking recommendations and requirements continues to have a wide variety of impacts in terms of viral spread during the ongoing pandemic. As governments, schools, and private sector businesses formulate decisions around mask requirements, it is important to observe real-life adherence to policies and discern subsequent implications. The CDC MASCUP! observational study tracked mask-wearing habits of students on higher-education campuses across the country to collect stratified data about mask typologies, correct mask usage, and differences in behaviors at locations on a college campus and in the surrounding community. Our findings from a single institution include a significant adherence difference between on-campus (86%) and off-campus sites (72%) across the course of this study as well as a notable change in adherence at the on-campus sites with the expiration of a county-wide governmental mandate, despite continuance of a university-wide mandate. This study, completed on and around the campus of East Tennessee State University in Washington County TN, was able to pivotally extract information regarding increased adherence on campus versus the surrounding community. Changes were also seen when mask mandates were implemented and when they expired.

Sustainable urban development is a frequently discussed topic today. The concept of sustainability mainly consists of three different dimensions of sustainability; the ecological, economic and social sustainability dimension. This study focuses more closely at the social sustainability dimension from an urban planning perspective and examines how Stockholm city aims to develop into a more socially sustainable city. The focus is on the urban development project Campus Albano, and the aim of the study is to investigate how well this project relates to Stockholm's urban development goals with regards to social sustainability. In this study, urban development goals are defined by Stockholm's urban development goals. The study is written on the basis of a qualitative method approach, which consist of a literature study and a case study in which a document study and an interview study were conducted. Interviews were held with three different actors, all of whom played a role in the development of the Campus Albano project. The result shows that the urban development project Campus Albano implements the development strategies of the city of Stockholm, which aims to meet the city's urban development goals and contribute to the creation of a socially sustainable Stockholm. In this way, it has been concluded that the urban development project Campus Albano is part of the joint venture towards achieving Stockholm's urban development goals, regarding a socially sustainable Stockholm / Hållbar stadsutveckling är idag ett flitigt diskuterat ämne. Hållbarhetsbegreppet består huvudsakligen utav tre olika hållbarhetsdimensioner; den ekologiska, ekonomiska samt sociala hållbarhetsdimensionen. Denna studien tittar närmare på den sociala hållbarhetsdimensionen utifrån ett stadsplaneringsperspektiv, och undersöker hur Stockholm stad önskar utvecklas till att bli en mer socialt hållbar stad. Fokus ligger på stadsutvecklingsprojektet Campus Albano, och studiens syfte att undersöka hur väl detta projekt förhåller sig till Stockholm stads mål för stadsutveckling, med avseende social hållbarhet. I denna studie representeras dessa mål för stadsutveckling av Stockholms stadsbyggnadsmål. Studien är skriven utifrån en kvalitativ metodansats, som har bestått utav en litteraturstudie samt en fallstudie inom vilken en dokumentstudie och en intervjustudie har genomförts. Intervjuer gjordes med tre olika aktörer som alla haft en roll i utvecklingen av Campus Albano-projektet. Resultatet visar att stadsutvecklingsprojektet Campus Albano förhåller sig till Stockholm stads samordnade utbyggnadsstrategier som ämnar att möta stadens stadsbyggnadsmål, som i sin tur bidrar till skapandet av ett socialt hållbart Stockholm. På så sätt har slutsatsen kunnat dras att stadsutvecklingsprojektet Campus Albano är en del av den gemensamma satsningen mot att nå Stockholm stads stadsbyggnadsmål som därmed bidrar till att skapa ett socialt hållbart Stockholm.

On April 16, 2007, 32 students and faculty were killed on the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University campus, making this incident the deadliest mass school shooting in United States history. Other school shootings, such as the infamous Columbine High School shootings and the more recent Northern Illinois State shootings, have become popular topics in today's social media (Kaminski et al, 2010; Reese 2009). Due to these events, schools and universities have become interested in the safety of their students as well as the students overall feelings towards crime while on their campus. New research studies have taken an interest in students' overall fear of crime and how this fear is impacted by variables including sex of the student and the time of day (Kaminski et al. 2010; Murray 2001). Though these studies have found who is more fearful of crime and which types of crime are feared most among their samples, these studies and others do not take into account whether the student is aware of shooting incidents that have occurred on college campuses around the country. The current study addresses this gap. The purpose of this study is to measure whether a University of Central Florida student's knowledge of mass school shootings influences their own levels of fear regarding crime and criminal victimization. Using an anonymous online survey, data from students at the University of Central Florida was collected and analyzed. The survey used quiz style questioning to gauge a students' overall knowledge on mass school shootings. Other questions such as demographics fear of various types of crime, and fear of different locations on campus were also asked.; This research addresses which areas of the University of Central Florida that students fear most (such as the Parking Garages), whether a student who lives in off campus housing is more fearful then a student who lives on campus, and whether having more knowledge of mass school shootings cause more fear of crime in students then those with less knowledge, and do students with more knowledge feel that they will be victimized more. This research hopes to help the University of Central Florida's Counseling center and well as the UCF Police Department to help understand students fears and needs to help create a safer learning environment and help those students in need in addition to adding to the overall literature on fear of crime.
