Emily Warren and Dr. LeBaron Curtis, Department of Organizational Leadership and Strategy The goal of this project was to examine how material objects and texts (e.g., resumes, letters, application files, etc.) may be appropriated and articulated during employment interviews. While past research focused on the verbal and discursive features of employment interviews, using research methods […]
Recruiting Internal Auditors: The Effects of Using the Internal Audit Function as a Management Training Ground and Performing Consulting Services

Yet, IAFs face significant challenges in hiring a sufficient number of qualified professionals to perform their worki. Given this challenge, it is important to understand factors that […]
The Effect of Relational Self-Construal in Dispute Resolutions and Negotiations
Aubri Robinson and Dr. Sheli Sillito, Department of Organizational Leadership and Strategy The purpose of our research project was to determine the influence of managerial fairness in the context of dispute resolution and negotiation. We aimed to identify whether managers’ relational self-construal (RSC), whether they define themselves in terms of their close relationships with others, […]
SEC Comment Letters: Investors’ Response to Accounting Disclosure Scrutiny
Kurt Gee and Dr. Jeffrey Wilks, School of Accountancy This project gave me a wonderful opportunity to experience the research process first-hand. The purpose of our study was to assess how investors in corporations respond to oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into the corporations’ accounting and disclosure practices. Professor Wilks and I […]
The Effects of Daidumene lineata on the Intertidal Rock Pools
Preston Wilson and Professor Russell Rader, Department of Biology My experiment was to test the effect Diadumene lineata has on the marine life of the intertidal rock pools in the northwest. However, due to unfortunate circumstances there were not any Diadumene Lineata in the area of Coos Bay, Oregon. After discovering that they did not exist […]
Endocannabinoid Biosynthetic Enzymes in Hippocampal Interneurons
Ryan Williamson and Dr. Jeff Edwards, Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology The hippocampus is a region of the brain that mediates learning and memory formation by changing the properties of synapses within its circuitry [2]. The plastic nature of these synapses allows the brain to alter how sensitive one neuron is to stimulation from […]
Teasing out the “why’s” of Evolution: A Functional Assessment of B-class Protein Complexes
Holly Waddel and Dr. Clinton Whipple, Department of Biology The evolution of floral development is caused by changes in gene function. The model for floral morphology is the ABC model of floral development (Coen & Meyerowits, 1991). In this model, A genes control sepals, A + B genes control petals, B + C genes control […]
Vitamin D3 as an Adjuvant to Produce Localized Immunity
Kaitlyn Vance and Dr. Eric Wilson, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology The aim of our research was to help elucidate the degree of specificity employed by antibody secreting cells (lymphocytes) through a study of the role of CCR10 in the differential homing of these cells to mucosal tissues. We used vitamin D3, known to […]
Rescuing the Collagen 2A1 Gene in Mouse Model to Alleviate Stickler Syndrome Symptoms
Jamie Twiggs and Dr. Robert Seegmiller, Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology Stickler Syndrome is a severe disease with no cure that occurs in 1/7500 births resulting in extreme ocular, craniofacial, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular problems for those diagnosed. It is caused by mutations in the collagen genes, most often a premature stop codon in the […]
