Welcome to the William E. and Ernest L. Boyer Common Day of Learning
at Azusa Pacific University, a campus-wide event dedicated to the
advancement of scholarship and learning. Since 1993, APU has fostered its
commitment to scholarship—one of the university’s Four Cornerstones—by
hosting this multidisciplinary conference dedicated to the commemoration
of academic discovery, an intellectual adventure that celebrates the
scholarship of engagement. In the words of Ernest L. Boyer:
Common Day of Learning Staff
“American colleges and universities are one of the greatest hopes for
intellectual and civic progress in this country. I am convinced that for this
hope to be fulfilled, the academy must become a more vigorous partner in
the search for answers to our most pressing social, civic, economic, and
moral problems, and must reaffirm its historic commitment to what I call the
scholarship of engagement.”
Yvonne Rodríguez
Administrative Assistant
Once a year, regular daytime activities are suspended so faculty, staff, and
students can have an opportunity to share their research, scholarship,
and artistic pieces with each other and guests from the surrounding
communities. To promote a common discussion, conference events are
planned around a central theme; this year’s is “Mutual Edification,” based
on Romans 14:19 (NIV): “Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads
to peace and to mutual edification.” The theme is a call for us to continue
the good work of building each other up intellectually and spiritually.

Special Tracks
This year’s CDL contains three
special tracks, allowing attendees to
focus their attention on certain topics
throughout the day. Presentations
comprising these special tracks
are noted in the program with
one of four labels: Water Cooler
Discussion Track, Church Traditions
Track, C.S. Lewis Track, and MEL
Scholars Track.
Room Sharing of
Some Presentations
Some of this year’s oral presentations
are research focused and scheduled
for only 15 minutes, as opposed to
the usual 45-minute presentation. As
a result, up to three of these shorter
presentations may be scheduled for
the same room during a particular
session. These shorter presentations
are noted in the program by the
designation 15-Minute Presentation.
Moderators will be present to
facilitate the sequencing of these
shorter presentations.

How to Create a Transformational Learning
Environment in Your Classroom: ServiceLearning Pedagogy Reconsidered (Colloquium)
Born American (But in the Wrong Place)
I am a native of Los Angeles. Growing up, I discovered
that, contrary to received opinion, you can see the world
from here. It’s a new world. But that’s an old story. So,
with the aid and comfort of some friends, and in the
freedom that seems at home in America, and even in
L.A., I thought to tell that old story in this new way. This
is a sabbatical report. For a recent sabbatical (spring
2016), I proposed to produce five to seven narratives
and to record them with musical accompaniment. I also
proposed to produce a few poems. This presentation
features a few of those narrative recordings, interspersed
(time permitting) with readings of a few poems. The
theme of the narratives is “Born American (But in the
Wrong Place).” These stories are mainly about what it
is that makes America beautiful, what it is that makes
America good and therefore worthy of love. It is our
hope that these stories may in some small way move the
better angels of our nature to touch the mystic chords
of memory that strengthen our bonds of affection and
make us friends. In our case, these mystic chords stretch
not only from battlefields and patriot graves, but from
back roads, school yards, bar stools, city halls, summer
afternoons, and old neighborhoods from everywhere you
find Americans being and becoming Americans.

From the moment Europeans woke up on June 23, 2016,
it was clear that it was going to be a terrible, horrible,
no good, very bad day. On that day, voters across the
UK voted in a referendum to leave the European Union
in what became known as Brexit. The result (53.4%
in favor) left Europe in a state of confusion, legally
and conceptually. As it turns out, the European Union
has a well-established protocol on how to join the
union, but there is nothing in place for when a member
wants to leave. It had never happened before. On top
of the complicated legal, political, and economical
repercussions, there is a more troubling story to be told.
If the UK once stood as Europe’s lighthouse for human
rights and democracy, there are now increasing reports
of verbal and physical attacks on immigrant communities,
a political narrative built on fear and racism in the
midst of the resurgence of populist movements all
across Europe.

Sex trafficking is a growing multibillion-dollar industry
with millions of victims around the world and within
the United States (Polaris Project, 2016). This panel
discussion introduces attendees to relevant issues
regarding sex trafficking in the United States. Topics
addressed include the incidence, prevalence, risk factors
for, and outcomes of sex trafficking. With increased
awareness comes increased responsibility, so this
presentation offers ways to take immediate action in
the fight against sex trafficking. Representatives from
two APU-sponsored groups, Free the Captives and
Project Cultivate, present opportunities for local service
and support, and other organizations are introduced
for off-campus involvement. Presenters facilitate the
development of attendees’ personal action plans for
involvement and service. No matter what your major
or discipline, there are opportunities to serve victims.

Substance Use and Sin:
A Multidisciplinary Approach
“Hispanic” and “Latino” refer to populations with
a common cultural and linguistic heritage. These
umbrella terms serve to classify this group of multiracial
and multicultural individuals, but what has been
unrecognized is a wide spectrum of diversity within this
population. Latinos represent a mix of racial heritages,
national origins, nativities, geographic distributions,
and cultures that deserve acknowledgement and
appreciation. This within-group diversity of Hispanic/
Latino populations should be identified and understood
as well as the pan-Latino experiences in the United
States. Several similarities and differences of major
Latin American heritages, including Mexican, Cuban,
Puerto Rican, Dominican, and El Salvadoran, are noted
by revisiting historical events that led to the formation
of contemporary Hispanic/Latino populations. Thus,
semistructured interviews of students from various Latin
American backgrounds were utilized to unfold more
personal stories in regards to their diverse perspectives
and experiences as Latinos.

For Christians, sin is a key component of understanding
the human condition and the necessity of salvation. While
theological accounts of sin may vary, some theologians
have argued that people have free will and should be held
entirely responsible for their actions, and this includes
taking responsibility for substance use and addictive
behaviors. This theological perspective contrasts with
the scientific view that addiction is a brain disease and
that people with substance-use disorders should not
be blamed or stigmatized. This presentation argues
for an integrative and multidimensional view of sin and
addiction that incorporates biological, developmental,
and environmental aspects.

It can be challenging for professors to make servicelearning a meaningful and relevant aspect of their
courses. Service-learning provides a vehicle for mutual
edification and transformation within the university and
the community. In this session, service-learning faculty
fellows across five disciplines show how they have
enhanced service-learning, creating transformational
experiences in their classrooms. Fellows present
a practical tool that enables students to connect
experiential learning to course SLOs and inspires them
to serve the community well. This critical-reflection tool
also allows students to become true scholars of their
own learning process. The fellows discuss experiences
from their two years of experimenting and learning
together and, along with some of their students, share
specific examples, including successes and challenges
from implementation of this process. Session two is a
workshop using the reflection tool.

We live in a frantic world full of all kinds of stress. Maybe
no one knows this better than college students! Between
all of the assignments, work, and relationships, life
is always presenting us with opportunities for stress.
There is, however, another way through stress that
doesn’t involve sleepless nights and racing minds. In
an era where mindfulness has shown us the power of
the present, Christian contemplation offers a radical
way forward that draws from the deep wells of faith
tradition. This presentation highlights some of the core
contemplative practices that help us slow down and
enter God’s restful peace in the present moment. After
presenting the opportunity to experience these rich
practices, we suggest that the contemplative life is not
one of withdrawing from the world, but one that allows
us to bring peace and mutual edification into each
relationship in our lives.

The 2016 Climate Study revealed that students, staff,
and faculty of color often feel a disconnect from the
organizational culture of APU. This panel discusses
the power of creating structures that allow voices to be
heard at multiple levels of the university system. Panelists
representing the Student Center for Reconciliation and
Diversity reflect on the journey of undergraduate students
and the formation of the Mosaic Caucus to inform
university leadership, and those representing the Center
for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusive Excellence reflect
upon how the Diversity Ambassador program has
cultivated a collaborative culture among staff and faculty.
The Diversity Ambassador Mosaic Video project is
explored, and panelists reveal how honoring diversity
narratives in higher education is the cornerstone for

What time is it? Seems like a simple question, doesn’t
it? In our world, however, there are so many different
schedules and calendars giving competing answers.
Over the centuries, the Church has invited Christ followers
to follow an alternative calendar that weaves through
and grounds us in our story of faith. There is a rhythmic
and cyclical nature in the order and the unfolding of the
Church year that invites us to remember who we are as a
historic people of God, as well as why we exist and find
our meaning and place in God’s story. As the calendar
weaves into and out of each turning year, we are invited
to enter more deeply into our place in God’s story, being
formed into an alternative reality and receiving a hopeful
answer to the question, “What time is it?”
This panel discussion focuses on current issues in gender
identity.
Redeeming the Gap
Duke 517
Danielle Van Stryland, Undergraduate, Liberal Studies

Paul Flores, Ph.D., Liberal Studies
The academic achievement gap presents a complex
challenge for K-12 public school teachers. Academic
achievement gaps are noticeable in math, reading, and
writing between culturally diverse and white students.
In addition, research consistently displays a gap in test
scores between students who are wealthy and students
who are poor. Yet the academic achievement gap can
be redeemed. Studies regarding music in schools in
the United States show that there exists a relationship
between quality of music instruction and academic
performance (Johnson and Memmott, 2006, p. 304).
Public schools must offer students music instruction
so students may experience academic achievement,
improving self-efficacy and promoting valuing of others.
Implementing music education programs will help close
the gap and bring about educational equality. A Christian
worldview implores seeking justice, loving kindness, and
walking humbly with God, leading to redemption.

This session reviews Davis’ research on individuals’
exits from organizations (such as college, and student
organizations within), in addition to equipping students
with understanding for how to gracefully and professionally
quit a job. Planned organizational exits, in which the date
of exit is known prior to the date of entry, are experienced
by many of our students. Understanding what they can
expect, communicatively, has been theorized in Davis
and Myers’ Model of Planned Organizational Exit (2012).
The four main components include: critical incidents,
participation, communication between leavers and stayers,
and anticipatory deidentification. Each of these components
is understood in a three-stage model as individuals near
their departure. Additionally, communication experts
theorize best practices for “giving notice” and quitting one’s
job, something in which students may find great value.
As part of the 2016 First-Year Seminar experience,
students in Heinlein’s class (Section 26) share their
solutions to the poverty problem in the local community.
When given the opportunity to create a solution to a
poverty problem, students can take the lead with their
passion, individual strengths, and driven hearts to make a
difference—right here in the Azusa community.

The New Prophecy, known in later centuries as
Montanism, was unique in Christianity in that it was led
by the prophecy of two women, accepted by Tertullian
and Ireneaus. In later centuries, as Christianity was
legalized into the heavily patristic Roman empire, the
New Prophecy was labeled as heretical, the truth of
the prophecy of Priscilla and Maximilla undermined by
questions of their character and accusations of madness.
The destroying of the credibility of these women is part
of a pattern of patristic cultures using coded language
to portray female leadership as heretical so Christian
leadership could fit into the Roman status quo.

This panel focuses on the constitutionality of presidential
war powers during specific 20th-century episodes.
The key question to answer is: Did the president have
the constitutional authority to do as he did? In these
particular scenarios, presidents mobilized troops into
hostile situations without the authorization of Congress.
Does the Constitution, in Article II, allow for this action,
or were these presidents exercising power outside of the
scope of their Article II delegation?
Turning Faith Integration Inside Out:

Paul Kaak, Ph.D., Executive Director, Office of Faith Integration
Typically, academic faith integration refers to ways
the Christian faith helps us better understand, critique,
or appreciate the subject being learned in a particular
class. But faith integration is an act of mutual edification:
Your faith edifies what you are learning, and what you
are learning edifies your faith. When faith integration
is turned inside out, what is being learned can help
us better understand Christian ideas and practices.
This session demonstrate ways that non-Bible/theology
classes can broaden, deepen, and challenge Christian
life in a meaningful, energizing, and interesting way.
This session offers a lens that increases your desire
and ability to grow as a well-balanced, well-informed,

C.S. Lewis has been identified as one of the most
influential figures of the 20th century. In his autobiography,
he reveals himself as a lover of books. He appreciated
the look and feel of books and enjoyed collecting them
throughout his life. But how did the library of C.S.
Lewis take shape over the years, and what themes are
represented in his vast collection? Beginning with a look
at early influences during his youth and continuing on
with highlighting books relating to his academic career,
this presentation provides a general overview of Lewis’
library, the state of the collection near the time of his
passing, and details of its present home(s). Anecdotes
from Lewis’ book buying, his reading habits, and
descriptions of his favorite books are presented in the
context of the unfolding story about the library of this
renowned and beloved Christian author. The narrative is
based on firsthand interviews and research conducted
at Oxford University, where Lewis lived and taught, and
at other sites where portions of his library are housed.
Several books formerly owned by Lewis and now held by
the University Libraries Special Collections are on display.
A movie can help teach important life principles by
creating an opportunity to relate and discuss the issues
raised. Rango is the story of an ordinary lizard with
dreams and ambitions like you and me. It takes place in
the town of Dirt, whose water supply has mysteriously
dried up. Rango saves the town, but not before many
twists, turns, mistakes—did we say big mistakes?—and
high drama that lead Rango to a journey of self-discovery.
In this interactive session, we learn from Rango’s
struggles by reviewing seven legendary scenes that help
you find meaning and purpose in life, setting you on a
path to achieving your destiny:
1. Who am I? I’m nobody. I could be anybody.
2. Whoever controls the water, controls everything.
3. People have to believe in something.
4. Where are we going?
5. I don’t know what I’m looking for.
6. Don’t you see, it’s not about you, it’s about them.
7. I’ve got a plan.
Leave inspired. It’s fast. It’s furious. It’s Rango!

Research shows that among children with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD), minority children have less
access to and receive fewer services compared to
Caucasian children. There is a gap in research examining
ethnic disparities in terms of number of hours of service
utilization compared to the total number of hours the
child has been approved to receive service. In response
to this gap in research, this study examines if there
are significant ethnic differences in monthly number
of behavioral therapy hours accessed out of the total
number of approved hours for children with ASD.
Findings inform professionals of potential underutilization
of services across ethnicities. Findings also foster
conversations regarding culturally appropriate ways
to encourage utilization of services among clients with
diverse cultural backgrounds, as well as examine if any
changes need to be made to better tailor services to
clients of differing ethnicities.
Early childhood education greatly influences a child’s
social, emotional, and intellectual development. However,
children from economically disadvantaged families
are at higher risk of receiving lower-quality child care,
affecting their ability to meet developmental milestones.
Head Start is a program that provides comprehensive
early childhood education and services to low-income
children ages 3-5 years to meet their emotional, social,
and psychological needs. Drawing on satisfaction
surveys given to all parents in a Head Start program
in Southern California, this qualitative study examines
parents’ satisfaction with services provided, as well as
their suggestions for program improvement. Results
promote awareness among professionals of parentidentified needs to better support parents and tailor
services provided. The results also help guide program
improvement efforts, as well as emphasize the role social
workers can play in the early education system.

This workshop session, presented by service-learning
faculty fellows and students across five disciplines,
provides practical training in a process they have used
over the past two years to create dynamic learning
communities within their classrooms. Participants will
learn to use The Grid, an innovative reflection tool
designed to help students predict and assess, individually
and collectively, their academic learning, reciprocal
involvement, and the difference made and the impact
on their faith through their service-learning experience.
This flexible reflection process, which can be used in any
service-learning course, has been shown to effectively
enhance the transformative impact of the educational
experience in the classroom. Session participants learn
how it all works by acting as students to experience
process and outcomes. This presentation is designed to

In this interactive session, Gutierrez, a trained

her pedagogical decision to assign spiritual memoir
in HIST 300, a writing-intensive course she designed
to teach history and social science majors to think,
read, and write like historians. Though memoir may not
appear to have a place in historical writing, its value
lies in teaching students to read their life as a primary
source, to select only the most compelling facts that
move the narrative forward, to focus on crafting an
effective hook, and to write vibrant prose, all without
conducting additional research or including citations
or footnotes. Three of her students provide the bulk
of the presentation’s context, individually sharing their
experiences with this assignment and discussing how
it positively affected their subsequent assignments and
their understanding of historical writing. The goal is to
change the way the audience understands memoir.

There is a saying that people quit their boss, and not
their jobs. The proposed research question in this class
project was to determine the relationship between leadermember exchange (LMX) and turnover intention (TI). The
findings suggest a possible relationship between LMX
and TI through the notion of career success. Those who
experienced a positive, high-quality LMX have a betterperceived outlook on their career, which leads to reduced
TI. Those who experienced low-quality LMX had greater
withdrawal intentions, and their perception of their career
was either neutral or negative. Literature suggests that
high LMX provides more resources for employees to
succeed, which leads to less quitting intention. This study
suggests the importance of career success via the theory
of motivation. There are strong implications for leaders
and their behaviors that positively influence LMX, follower
career success, and organizational success.

Research suggests 14-42% of residents in longterm care facilities are diagnosed with geriatric
depression. Federal regulations of psychotropic
medications use in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) have
prompted interdisciplinary professionals to explore
nonpharmaceutical interventions for geriatric depression.
Research also suggests socialization has been shown
to be an effective intervention for geriatric depression.
This session presents data, collected at a skilled nursing
facility, examining the correlation between participation
in socialization activities and gradual dosage reductions
of psychotropic medications. The presentation
focuses on educating care providers on evidencebased, nonpharmaceutical interventions, particularly
socialization, in SNFs, and informs the unique role of

interprofessional collaborations to effectively address
challenges presenting in older adulthood.

Diversity is a well-developed theme in engineering, with
solid mathematical foundations. For example, wireless
or satellite communication channels with different quality
attributes can be optimized to work together to yield
substantial benefits. Diversity theory in communications
engineering seeks to optimally deploy differently abled
channels to derive the maximum communication
throughput. Techniques such as select channel and
maximal ratio combining have been known to yield
optimal performance under prescribed conditions. This
session attempts to apply these engineering principles
to social diversity issues and develop some useful
guidelines drawn from engineering practice, hoping to
illustrate that some commonly held social practices may
not be the optimal solutions under certain circumstances.

objection is unjust and that a doctor’s conscience has
no place in the medical field. Leon argues that the
consequences of banning conscientious objection are
worse than allowing it, and proposes three reasons why:
1) it limits the available amount of health care providers,
2) it disadvantages diversity by homogenizing the beliefs
in the medical field, and 3) it limits progress in the
medical field.

political agenda for the Trump administration.
The education of children with exceptionalities has been
developing for the last 40 years. Students with disabilities
have often been marginalized and considered less than
human, or not having something to contribute to learning.
In addition, students preparing for teaching often have
experiences that are late and few in the process, thus
they don’t develop compassion and an understanding
of truth regarding students with exceptionalities and
the kingdom of God. Qualitative methods are utilized
to analyze responses, producing common themes of
knowledge gained, development of faith, and desire to
serve in classrooms with special needs learned from
exceptional students. Conclusions suggest servicelearning experiences can be beneficial for developing
compassion and motivation while understanding students
with special needs from a Christian worldview, in pursuit
of becoming a teacher with open hands who serves
students with special needs.

Happiness is so valued in the Church today that those
in ministry often feel like they are not allowed to grieve.
However, grief and loss are a significant experience
of ministry. Invisible loss is often tied to the unseen
rejection many people in ministry carry with them, a lack
of empathy from others, and a sense of relational and
psychological isolation. In this session, the Center for
Vocational Ministry team presents on and facilitates a
discussion about the often-unaddressed topic of grief
and loss in ministry, and explores how to journey through
those seasons in healthy ways.

Michelle Alexander states in The New Jim Crow (The New
Press, 2012) that affirmative action and similar diversity
programs have created an elite class of people of color,
and notes that most of these resources are given to the
same people of color at each opportunity. This is because
diversity programs often are not aimed toward spreading
resources evenly, but making sure all are represented.
Here at Azusa Pacific University, this is evident in student
leadership, as leadership programs do not equally
represent the different student groups on campus.
This is due to unintentional effects of programs focused
on diversity rather than equity. We define diversity as
including individuals that represent the student body
in opportunities extending beyond simply college
entrance. Conversely, equity is sharing ownership
among individuals in a way that equally represents
the student body in these same opportunities. This
session expounds upon this topic and factors in the
need of change to bring equity to APU.

First comes graduation, then job hunting. Do you know
the skills needed for the job-hunting process? How about
finding a job that is truly satisfying, one mutually edifying
to you and your employer? This session addresses the
three-part process all job hunters go through and how
information literacy competencies apply to each part: 1)
interpreting job postings, 2) customizing a résumé and
cover letter, and 3) negotiating a job interview. Second,
you’ll discover how information literacy competencies
can edify the five abilities that employers look for in
applicants: 1) working in teams, 2) solving problems,
3) communicating in groups, 4) planning, organizing,
and prioritizing work, and 5) utilizing information.
Third, you’ll learn how to practice these abilities in
the job search process.
Hispanics are the largest racial minority in the United
States. In 2014, around 15 percent of the Hispanic
population experienced a mental health issue—more
than 5.5 million individuals. Despite the prevalence of
mental health issues, however, Hispanics underutilize
mental health services. Research has shown that
stigma, prejudice, and a lack of knowledge are common
reasons used to explain the incongruence in presenting
illnesses and access of services. One-hour educational
presentations on mental health will be conducted at
community events within a Southern California school
district, and pre- and postpresentation surveys will be
administered to participating individuals. The surveys
examine the effectiveness of one-hour educational
presentations in increasing knowledge of and positive
attitudes toward mental health issues within the Hispanic
population. Results inform professionals of a potential
method of addressing cultural stigmas around mental
health issues among Hispanic adults.

In this session, Gutierrez, a trained historian, moderates
student discussion of the primary-source-analysis
assignment in HIST 300, a writing-intensive course she
designed to teach history and social science majors to
think, read, and write like historians. Students visited
Special Collections—for many their first trip to an
archive—and photographed one entry of an autograph
book dating to the 1920s, ’30s, or ’40s belonging to
one of two former APU students. This entry was paired
with a newsletter produced by the Training School for
Christian Workers, as APU was then known, whose
date corresponded most closely to the handwritten
“autograph.” As professional historians do, students
researched the historical context of the period and
followed clues in their entries and newsletters to more
fully understand these individuals and their TSCW
experience. In the end, students experienced the thrill
of doing original archival research and also learned
something about themselves by learning APU’s early
history. Panelists share with the audience the excitement
of historical discovery and demonstrate how APU’s past
shaped who it is today as a Christian institution.

Was C.S. Lewis Indifferent to the Genocide of the
Jews During World War II?
Duke 507 C.S. Lewis Track
Carole J. Lambert, Ph.D., English
“But don’t you see,” broke in Camilla, “that you can’t be
neutral? If you don’t give yourself to us, the enemy will
use you.” (C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength).
It is hard to understand why C.S. Lewis did not do more
to defend the Jews during the Holocaust, but his lack of
intervention must be seen in the context of his location
and era. Minimal concern for Jewish victims seems to
have prevailed at Oxford among many intellectuals of his
circle, and in his Letters, Lewis mentions few Jews during
the War years of 1940-45. This presentation explores
some of Lewis’ letters, essays, novels, and nonfiction
texts written from 1933-50 that shed light on his seeming
indifference to the Jews during their time of greatest
need. The session concludes with suppositions about
why Lewis seems to be “neutral” about Jewish Holocaust
suffering. This presentation draws content from Chapter
2 of Lambert’s Against Indifference: Four Christian
Responses to Jewish Suffering during the Holocaust (C.S.
Lewis, Thomas Merton, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, André and
Magda Trocmé), (Peter Lang, 2015).
What do we expect out of our presidential candidates as
leaders? Does their own moral conduct matter and affect
how they will govern? These questions will be addressed
by examining the 2016 presidential election candidates.
Do presidents have the constitutional power to engage
troops into hostile situations without an express
authorization from Congress? Franklin D. Roosevelt’s
actions to support Great Britain before the United States
entered WWII and Lyndon B. Johnson’s intervention in
the Dominican Republic test the Article II grant of war
powers to the executive office.
Pursuing Cultural Awareness: Differences in
Utilization of Social Services by Race/Ethnicity
Duke 125 15-Minute Presentation
What is Your Environmental IQ?
Libby Cha, Undergraduate, Social Work
Duke 120
Studies have shown that ethnic minorities have a
tendency to underutilize social services. Although a
variety of social services exist, lower access rates of
services among ethnic minorities suggest there is a
need to understand trends in order to better serve
clients from diverse backgrounds. Data collected from a
multiservice social services agency examines if the type
and frequency of social services utilized varies by race/
ethnicity. This research promotes awareness among
professionals about potential disparities in the utilization
of services among different racial/ethnic groups. The
findings can also be used to develop more culturally
appropriate services and interventions to serve the
needs of diverse groups of people.

In a society where media and advertising bombard us at
all hours of the day, the influencing and raising up of our
children can no longer be controlled by one’s parents,
teachers, or church. Advertisements, magazines, shows,
movies, and music shape how the youth of today view
themselves, others, and their futures. We are a rapidly
changing society, but media has been slow to catch up
to the trends, often reinforcing negative racial and gender
stereotyping. In a subversively entertaining style inspired
by the Living Newspapers of the 1930s Federal Theater
Project, student performers present statistics, research,
and conclusions from students’ senior seminar papers
explaining the toxic trend of underrepresentation of
minorities in American media.
Addressing Self-Harm Arising from
Depression in Adolescence: Effectiveness of
School-Based Counseling
Duke 116
Michelle Reyna, Undergraduate, Social Work
Research has shown that in the United States, 1 in 5
adolescents aged 13-17 years engage in nonsuicidal
self-injury, while 1 in 8 suffer from self-harm ideations
and another 1 in 25 act on self-harm ideations resulting
in suicide attempts. This research considers the
effectiveness of school-based counseling in addressing
self-harm ideations and actions among adolescents. The
data collected measure the number of times a student
engages in self-harm ideations or self-harm actions at
the time of their admittance, and the number of times
they engaged in self-harm ideations or self-harm actions
within the first 6 weeks of individual counseling sessions,
at the 12th week of individual counseling sessions, and
at the time of discharge from counseling. Findings in
this research inform professionals of the effectiveness of
school-based counseling in addressing self-harm arising
from depression among adolescents through the use of
individual counseling.

What is the line between being healthy and being sick?
Thousands of students come to undergraduate programs
each year. Some want to reinvent themselves, some want
to create healthier lifestyles, and others want to lose
weight or bulk up. One aspect they all share is seeking
acceptance. Eating disorders are the deadliest of all
mental health disorders. Even more startling, they are on
the rise. They are common among college campuses,
yet shame and stigma stop people from asking for the
help they need. This presentation is designed to help you
become more informed about what eating disorders are,
warning signs, ways to get help or talk to a friend about
concerns, and what the process of treatment looks like.
Together, let’s put an end to eating disorder and mental
health stigmas.

America consists of a society fragmented along
cultural and linguistic lines. With a large portion of
the K-12 student population having a first language
other than English, it is essential that public schools
find a way to best educate students through intervention
programs that are beneficial for English Language
Learner students. Though many consider bilingual
education unnecessary, there is an effective bilingual,
biliterate, and bicultural program that has brought
academic success to K-12 students. This session
presents research demonstrating how dual-language
immersion programs have spread in the United States
over the last few years with success and benefits to all
students who participate. In addition, research proposes
that the dual-language immersion program benefits
English language learners and English-only students,
promoting the truth of God-honoring diversity while
displaying compassion to non-English speakers and
developing a culture of appreciation and acceptance.

While it’s widely known that the internet has
mainstreamed pornography, casual sex, and
virtual sex, the ways in which this is affecting
our basic regard for other human beings is less
well understood. This panel explores the various
dynamics of this important issue, from millennials’
seeming difficulty in making commitments, to rampant
porn/sex addiction, human trafficking, and beyond.
It also addresses several ways to resist the commercial
influences surrounding this generation, and to take
action against the casual and destructive human
exploitation that seems to go unnoticed much of
the time. We hope to learn together how to behave
as citizens who protect our neighbors, rather than as
consumers who disregard and degrade them.

As a college-educated individual, you have a specific
set of skills that few others have; how can you use that
skillset to impact the world in a unique and meaningful
way? Mission trips don’t need to exist as a “service

but instead can be a prevailing “relevant experience.”
Meanwhile, how do you prevent a sincere, God-given
excitement to help others from transforming into a
stale, works-based experience? This session provides
a relevant example, in the context of the Department of
Engineering and Computer Science’s Namibia project,
which reveals how academics, service, career, and faith
interact. Come hear how 30 APU students formed an
international collaboration with students, professors,

The problem of evil comes up in a number of the
works of C.S. Lewis, though most focally, of course,
in The Problem of Pain. One way of making sense
of the different things Lewis says about evil is to
see a progression in Lewis’ thought from some
more immature position to a more nuanced one.
This approach is reflected in the critically acclaimed
movie Shadowlands, about the loss of Lewis’ wife and
a resultant crisis of faith experienced by Lewis. Another
approach is to harmonize away any apparent tensions
in Lewis’ treatment of the problem of evil. In this session,
Green shows a way one can read three of Lewis’ texts—
The Problem of Pain, A Grief Observed, and Till We Have
Faces—to get a nuanced, complementary treatment
of the problem of evil, in no small part because of the
tensions between the works.

populations, with an estimated 46,874 people confirmed
by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s 2016

several unique public- and private-sector partnerships
in the East San Gabriel Valley between churches in the
city of Glendora and the nonprofit organization known as
the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless
(ESGVCH). Together, the churches and ESGVCH, which
is partially funded by government grants, provide a
rotational winter shelter program for local homeless

The purpose of this study is to examine post-shelter
housing destinations for domestic violence victims and
what barriers they face to accessing preferred housing.
Research finds that participants are not able to afford
housing without help from their abusive partners, and
have to deal with limited income, criminal histories, and
unresolved financial burdens. This qualitative study
draws on client exit surveys from January–June 2016
in a domestic violence shelter in Southern California.
Clients respond to open-ended questions regarding their
housing destination, their preferred housing choice, and
barriers in obtaining it. The findings from this study inform
social work professionals about which housing services
are utilized and what barriers participants report facing.
The results show what housing resources are needed for
this population, information that is important to bettering
social services to prevent victims from becoming
homeless or returning to abusers.

India: Impact on Heart, Spirit, and Mind
Duke 123
On-campus incidents of violence have recently garnered
media attention. Sexual assault, stalking, dating violence,
and intimate partner violence are serious public concerns
that affect many college and university students (Centers

assesses students’ experiences with interpersonal
violence, with a focus on economic and religious abuses,
and the study reports on a nonprobability quantitative
sample of 421 questionnaires, and a qualitative sample of
15 in-depth, one-on-one interviews. Multivariate analysis of
variance (MANOVA) results yielded differences in students’
experiences with economic abuse based on age, gender,
and sexual orientation. As a result, recommendations to
participating institutions were created.
Cougars and Cradle-Robbers: Perceived Inequity
Predicts Prejudice Toward Age-Gap Couples
Duke 513 15-Minute Presentation
Brian Collisson, Ph.D., Psychology
Couples who differ in age—commonly referred to as
age-gap or May-December relationships—often elicit
negative stereotypes and prejudice. Drawing upon social
relationship and comparison theories, we hypothesized
that age-gap, as compared to age-matched, couples
would be perceived as less equitable and, as a result,
less liked. To test these hypotheses, in Study 1, people
evaluated the relationships of age-gap and age-matched
couples in general. In Study 2, people were said to have
fallen in love with someone whom they later learned was
in a relationship with someone much younger, older,
or similar in age. Afterward, they rated the extent to
which they liked the couple being together and who was
benefiting in the relationship. In both studies, age-gap, as
compared to age-matched, couples elicited significantly
greater prejudice and were perceived as significantly less
equitable. Importantly, perceived inequity significantly
predicted prejudice toward age-gap, but not agematched, couples.

The presentation of words or images tends to increase
the accessibility of related concepts. For instance, seeing
the word “pillow” or a picture of a pillow likely brings
to mind the word “sleep.” It is likely that relationships
between some concepts are culture dependent, meaning
that one ethnic group may associate two things that
another ethnic group does not. Therefore, it is assumable
that subjects with particular cultural knowledge may be
more vulnerable to falsely recognizing nonpresented
items that are culturally relevant than those who are not.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether the
presentation of culturally relevant concepts led to an
increase in misrecognition of words in various American
racial/ethnic groups.

comparing BLM to previous movements, we gauge the
effectiveness of their tactics. Through research of societal
impact, government change, and the unification of the
black community, we gauge the magnitude of impact that
the movements have had on American culture. Although
there is room for improvement in BLM, our research of
historical context, personal experience, and the platform
of BLM indicates that the movement is necessary.

these communities. There are few published studies
that have sought pastors’ input on their views on how
to handle present psychological and societal issues.
This study, funded by the John Templeton Foundation,
is a phenomenological study in which African American,
Hispanic, and Caucasian Protestant pastors serving
low-income urban areas were invited to participate in

Hope, Wellness, and Identity Formation
in Young Women

Kellie Cabrera Nasont, Graduate Student, Psychology
Young women in college face some of the more complex
developmental tasks of their lifetime. Little support is
provided as they navigate these tasks, and in many
contexts is silenced altogether, resulting in confusion
and isolation. This presentation addresses the topics that
face all young women, looking through a psychological
and developmental lens that normalizes experiences
and validates open discussion of the topics of sexuality,
beauty, belonging, and hope. The presenter is a
fourth-year Doctor of Psychology student at APU with
experience in sexual assault counseling, eating disorders,
and identity development. The presentation addresses
these topics according to the best practice in the field of
psychology, and supplements with narratives of women
who have experienced these things firsthand.

American Christianity is rarely if ever celebrated for its
easy way with satire, even in light of a talented Catholic
satirist such as Stephen Colbert. Therefore, approaching
a theatrical production of the short novel The Great
Divorce by famed theologian C.S. Lewis presents a
problem. Clearly (like Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters), The
Great Divorce is a broad satire, in this case containing
stock characters faintly reminiscent of Saturday Night
Live. Yet the show is steeped in theology of the most
profound nature—theology dealing with life, death,
heaven, hell, and most importantly, the imagined world
in between. How does one stage such a story with
maximum impact, and promote conversation rather than
controversy? This presentation explores the thoughtful
preparation, research, design, staging, vocal training, and
acting needed for such an endeavor. Excerpts of scenes
from the show are peppered throughout the discussion.

The Impact of Religion on Suicidality
Duke 120
Stephanie Schussman, Graduate Student, Psychology
Curtis Lehmann, Ph.D., Psychology
Cailey Whittaker, Undergraduate, Psychology
Suicide rates have been increasing in recent years for
reasons that are not fully understood. Religiousness
is recognized as a protective factor for suicidality and
therefore represents an important topic of study for
the prevention of suicide. However, studies that have
linked religion and suicide have rarely been theorydriven and typically measure religiousness superficially,
such as church attendance or religious importance. This
presentation explores potential mechanisms by which
religiousness might affect suicide risk through the lens of
the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide (IPTS),
which posits that thwarted belongingness, perceived
burdensomeness, and acquired capability for suicide
underlie suicidality. The role of religious fundamentalism,
motivation, support, and coping are addressed with
preliminary findings from a research project at APU. The
findings could have implications for determining levels of
suicide risk, especially among religious college students.
Genograms: Unlocking the Mysteries of
Your Family Through Beginning to Advanced
Genogram Science
Duke 117
Stephen Lambert, Ph.D., Psychology
Robert Linsalato, Regional Campus Director, Psychology
Genogram science can be used to detect simple, obvious
factors in family health, such as the impact of marital
tension on children. Genogram science can also be
used to detect more subtle matters in personality and
character development. This presentation explains the
simple and more subtle, nuanced meaning in genograms
to promote family wellness and flourishing. Lambert has
constructed genograms with more than 400 university
students, comprising one of the largest genogram
science databases in the United States. This presentation
reveals some of the more subtle and nuanced wisdom
in genograms that may be used toward the promotion
of self-care, wellness, and flourishing in families. Time
will be permitted for a basic group activity involving the
construction of genograms.
