Issue Brief
As a part of CAS 138T, the class became part of a think tank where we each specialized in an area of policy or advocacy. My issue brief focuses on negative body image among college women. I research the topic of disordered eating and negative body image that seems to become more prevalent among women as soon as they being their collegiate journey. I made sure to include compelling statistics and relevant infographics, along with the themed border to make the issue brief professional.
Paradigm Shift Paper
This was the first seven to ten page paper I wrote as part of my undergraduate career. I chose the topic of state swapping because being an out-of-state student, I was interested to see when and why students began to transition to attending colleges out of state, even if they were more expensive. Early on, attending college was only for wealthy families, but as time progressed attending college became a common place and commercialized.
