The Impact of Cartoon Characters of Color on Emerging Science Identities of Elementary Aged BIPOC Students

The purpose of this study is the exploration of science identity formation in children and further, if a leisure activity such as watching cartoon television where cartoons are engaging in science activities would positively impact students' science identities. The theory behind this is students are seeing their cultural/racial/ethnic identities reflected in the characters who are engaging in science, which then provides science representation for youth that might not have more traditional forms of scientific representation.

EVs and Clean Auto Tech Development and Diffusion in North Carolina

The utility of my investigation will be to elucidate how the actors in the EV and clean auto tech realm of North Carolina interact to push the market forward. I aim to identify likely avenues of future EV charging infrastructure development in the state. As Raleigh has been a leader in this realm, I plan to conduct several interviews with government officials from Raleigh. Beyond EVs, I also hope to pinpoint the other most prominent clean technologies in the automotive sector, with special attention to those that might cross over into other advanced manufacturing sectors, e.g. aerospace engineering or non-vehicular motor-driven products.

ACC Student-Athlete Transition

There exists limited empirical evidence to inform the structure and content of the current NCAA exit interviews which restricts their impact on post-career health and well-being. This study hopes to bridge that gap and to understand the student-athlete transition experience including outcomes of mental, physical, social, and occupational functioning. In this aim, we are inviting you to participate in an evidence-based, survey addendum to the standard of care exit interview. A total of 120 individuals will be invited to participate in this portion of the study. A subgroup of 30 participants will be invited to participate in a follow-up interview. If you are selected for follow-up, we will reach out to you in no more than 60 days after the completion of this survey.
