Remote Learning with Upward Bound: Evaluating Teenagers' Feelings Using Zoom
Rivera, Ada
With changes in online instruction, researchers have suggested a relationship between online drop-out rates and self-efficacy in online learning. During an undergraduate senior level internship experience, teenage students were provided six weeks of online mentoring in ELA, math, and science. Teenage students' feelings about their educational Zoom experience were recorded weekly. Students began the experience expressing concerns over technical issues and comfort with working remotely. At six weeks, mixed feelings over the online experience were still reported. Feelings of frustration, confusion, comfort and discouragement were evident. Final student responses indicated a preference for in-person programming rather than Zoom.

Food Scarcity On Salem State Campus: Promoting Student Use Of Campus Food Pantry
Thistle, Julia
In the United States, food insecurity is an ongoing issue that affects millions of individuals. College students are more susceptible to being affected by food insecurity. On-campus pantries are valuable resources for these students. The purpose of this undergraduate internship poster was to gain feedback from Salem State University (MA) students in order to improve their on-campus pantry. A survey was created to seek undergraduate opinions and information about the current pantry. Results showed that most students preferred fresh produce and to be notified on social media when food is delivered. By accommodating student needs, it is more likely that students will utilize the on-campus pantry and address issues of food insecurity.

The Risk of Patient Self Discharges: Improving High-Risk Patients' Rehabilitation
Maginnis, Declan
Addiction related literature suggests that people struggling with addiction do not always respect the rehabilitation process nor adhere to medical advice during the recovery process. The purpose of this senior-level undergraduate internship was to improve processes of a rehabilitation discussion group of high risk patients identified as potential risk of self-discharging against medical advice. After hours of observation and participation, changes were made by student intern & staff to improve identification of these high risk patients and improve attendance tracking. Attendance processes and revised curriculum were altered. As a result, case managers were able to lead improved group discussions. Direct conversations addressing patients' unique issues of concern were evident.

Pre-Procedure Benefits Of Interacting With Patients
Bixby, Christine
This project was conducted to find out the impact of communication with patients before surgery. I was receiving multiple phone calls from patients because they had questions about their surgeries and how to follow pre/post-operative instructions. I began by making a list of frequently asked questions by patients. Also, brainstorming different solutions for them to ensure they fully understood what was needed of them to make for a successful recovery after eye surgery. After making some changes it was revealed that these patients were able to have all their questions answered concerning surgery and they were less likely to call the office with questions about pre-operative and post-operative care. Overall, I concluded that the impact of communicating with the patients before their surgery was highly effective.
