Career Fair Flyers for High School Students: Exploring Healthcare Careers

This project focused on implementing healthcare career paths and opportunities for students during career fairs held at High Schools surrounding the areas of Beverly, MA in the cities of Revere, Peabody and Lynn. With the resources of the Human Resource department, flyers were created to provide information on various entry-level career paths while also providing insight on higher education requirements. This opportunity provides the chance for the organization to connect with students in different communities to share information and help them learn more about healthcare fields in a clinical and non-clincal setting. The flyers created provided a wide range of career paths students can pursue with an Associate's degree, Bachelor's degree, Master's degree and/or PhD. By providing entry level job opportunities with certification requirements and higher education requirements it enhances students to seek interest and encourage healthcare career advancement after high school.Healthcare Studie

"The Importance Of Transparency In Municipal Governance"; A Case Study Of North Shore Massachusetts

The United States has a turbulent past filled with the use of force and displays of negativity regarding public engagement. There are laws enacted protecting the public, allowing a positive exchange of information, and ensuring the availability of resources. This research will explore the factors influencing citizen engagement: What are the factors influencing citizen participation in local government, and what municipalities encourage these interactions? An incident in Massachusetts where a private citizen was denied their civil rights at a ZBA meeting, provides the context to explore the limits of public interactions and government transparency. Using a grounded theory approach, survey data was collected and analyzed along with socioeconomic and geographic factors to create a GIS (Geographic Information System) product that could be useful in examining citizens’ participation in local government. I will test the limits of public interactions and governmental transparency in a survey open to SSU students and North Shore townspeople. The data will show a correlation between interactions, location, and several different factors such as race, income, social status, employment, business ownership, and utilization of governmental services. Using the grounded theory approach, the collected data will be used to create a GIS product. Conclusions and suggestions drawn from pairing the GIS product with survey data will be offered to strengthen interactions in both urban and regional planning as well as civic engagement across geographies.Geography and Sustainabilit
