Every semester Integrative Studies hosts an ePortfolio Showcase for all Integrative Studies majors, highlighting the work of our continuing and graduating students.

What? Your ePortfolio is the centerpiece of your experience as an Integrative Studies student. There you can chart your journey, reflect on what you've learned, and showcase your best work. Artists often create a portfolio of their best work, with reflections and background information, to share with the public and potential employers and clients.

Who? We want to see the ePortfolios at every stage of the program. This includes beginning ePortfolios created in IST 185, ePortfolios with artifacts and reflection of courses and experiences along the way, and the research and reflection from those in our capstone courses, IST 397 and IST 497. Graduate student can share ePortfolios from any stage in their journey.

When? We will host the public spring Showcase from Tuesday May 3 through Thursday May 5.

How? Where? We will use the web-based platform Padlet. You can upload your ePortfolio by simply supplying a link. Anyone can comment on other ePortfolios, ask questions, or share ideas for further research or course work. Padlet will be embedded in the Student Handbook and Canvas for easy availability. We just need a link. You can send the URL to your ePorfolio to your IST instructor or to the program director ( garns@nku.edu ) so we can add it to the Showcase platform.

For more information about what should be or can be included in your ePortfolio you can review the ePortfolio section of the Student Handbook .

The Spring 2022 IST Student ePortfolio Showcase will take place May 3 through 5. The web site though which we can upload, share, and comment on ePortfolios can be found at https://padlet.com/NKUIST/iex0zhyrhytnr9jj .

Make sure your ePortfolio is up to date. Review the expected contributions for each IST class. Add material (assignments, projects, experiences, reflections) from classes in your focus areas that you think are examples of good and relevant work. If you are in a capstone course, include a presentation of your capstone research project. Work with your instructor to identify the best way to do this.

Make sure the material in your ePortfolio is shared with the public. Some documents on sites like Google or Microsoft might not be accessible to anyone but yourself and your teacher. Check with your instructor if you have questions about setting the sharing permissions. You can check your ePortfolio by logging out and then reviewing the material.

Capture the URL of your ePortfolio and send it to your IST instructor or to the program director ( garns@nku.edu ) who can then upload it to our Showcase site. Do this by May 2.

Check into the showcase site regularly during the May 3-5 period to review and comment on the work of your fellow students and to respond to comments on your work.

Greetings! My name is Emily Robbins and I am currently a Junior in Young Scholars Academy, a program for high school students, Juniors and Seniors, to take all of their classes at Northern Kentucky University. As we are entering midterms in my first semester attending NKU, I am interested in receiving a major in psychology. As of the summer of 2022, psychology has piqued my interest. Aside from my academic life, I have recently gone back to my old hobby of reading. I have joined the book club, and I am also a part of the crew in the drama club for my home high school.  I love animals and even though I like both cats and dogs, my family only has dogs (not complaining!)

New York City is my favorite place on the entire planet! When I actually graduate high school I plan on going to university there and live there for the rest of my life. Everything about New York feels so comforting to me. I have only been 3 times but every time I go I love it even more. There is so much unity and diversity in one community that makes me feel so welcome and needed there.

New York, often called New York City[b] or NYC, is the most populous city in the United States, located at the southern tip of New York State on one of the world’s largest natural harbors. The city comprises five boroughs, each coextensive with a respective county. New York is a global center of finance[11] and commerce, culture, technology,[12] entertainment and media, academics and scientific output,[13] the arts and fashion, and, as home to the headquarters of the United Nations, international diplomacy.[14][15][16][17][18]

I was fascinated with computers since childhood. I gradually gained more knowledge about software development and computers. I learned during high school that I am quite interested in understanding how programming languages are created. Since then, I have continued my studies and have begun to apply everything as demonstrated in the YouTube videos. I was able to refine my abilities via practice. I acquired knowledge of Python, HTML, ReactJS, Java, Git/Github, C++, Firebase, and MongoDB programming languages. Through practice, I developed my skills but it was not sufficient so I also thought of gaining experience in this field. I started making my resume and first got a job as a website developer using HTML and ReactJS in Namaste Courier and Cargo in my own home country. After a year of experience, I got an internship at Karkhana before coming to the United States. I applied for my undergraduate in the same field. I was a bit dull right after coming to the USA but then I worked as a teaching assistant for P y t h on in my second semester.

These practices and experiences have helped me more in polishing my skills. Up to this point, everything has worked my way, and I believe it will continue to do so. There were days when I didn't think I could grow as far, so I feel like everything here is the result of my efforts. All the hard works are worth it for now and in the future. I'll continue to do so as much as I can. Therefore, I see myself as an ambitious person.

In my past I have had accomplishments that I would put above other things in life.  This includes my acting career, my musical talents, and my performance in school. I think what's gotten me through my life the way I have is how I treat my friends and family. The most important thing in life are the people around you and I always want those people to feel the most comfortable ad safe with me. I think my art and the way I express myself will be my biggest contribution to the world, whether it be my acting, directing or playing music I want to leave my mark in a positive way. Some goals I have in my life are getting to the point in my film career that what I make will be enjoyed by people from all backgrounds and to take my learnings outside of Kentucky and learn as much knowledge as I can. I want to live my life the way I want to and finding myself is the best way to make that goal a reality.

However, my favorite topic to learn about is US history and some parts of European history. Outside of school, I spend most of my time on the soccer field. I play as an outside midfielder for my high school team and a center-back for my Kings Hammer team. Besiders soccer, I enjoy dressing up for various events, traveling the world, and hanging out with friends and family. A fun fact about me is that I have been to about 8 different countries while cruising, and on one of those cruises I was supposed to port in a country that was hit by a hurricane the day I was supposed to be there.

And let the waters slip away

'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow

So don't you sit upon the shoreline

And say you're satisfied

Choose to chance the rapids

And dare to dance the tide...yes

Like a bird upon the wind

I'll never reach my destination

There's bound to be rough waters

And I know I'll take some falls

But with the good Lord as my captain

I can make it through them all." - Garth Brooks

College is where academia put together many of the pieces I had been holding on to helping me understand my own story. Peering into the lives of others and understanding from an academic standpoint what was going on in the prison system. A twofold view opened up into new questions of: How can we prevent and how can we rebound through healing?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I was born in Huntsville, Texas by all means the prison capital of Texas and home of Death Row. My initiation into the corrections culture came legitimately. My Grandfather was Dayton Poppell, a well known 20+ year veteran of the Texas prison system. By late 1980 he made warden and had worked his way up the ranks and established a lifetime of experience. My father followed in his footsteps fairly quickly after graduating high school and my mother soon after meeting my father would also take a roll as a correctional officer. Alongside them were two aunts, two uncles, three great aunts and uncles and many cousins that worked for the state spread vastly across the great state of Texas. Family reunions and holidays were interesting events and usually held a few extras from the prison, camaraderie in corrections is much like the Army and Police work. Your closest work partners become family and corrections was the family business.

I've spent a lifetime part of a subculture I was unaware functioned differently from the larger part of society. I used to play games with my dad at restaurants like "count the people" and "how many turns". Count the people involved counting how many people you walked past before you sat and recalling what they were doing or wearing. How many turns involved counting turns when you left or went somewhere with a goal of learning how far you went and how many turns occurred and which way they went. The goal was to get as many as possible right and for "how many turns" be able to get back home or where you started with your eyes shut. I loved these games as a kid, I have a photographic memory of who i encounter when in public and I still nearly 30 years later give a decently accurate number of how many people are in a room by just a glance. Little did I know these games were not games at all they were manufactured by my father to teach me to be hyper aware. Something, prison guards are trained to do for their safety. My father was training me to be able to manage my way out of a bad situation and the people i would encounter, the latter was to find out how far I had gone if I were to ever be kidnapped. He was by his own account doing his best as a parent ridden with PTSD and extreme fears of me being kidnapped.

These things were never brought to my attention until I had children of my own. Something as simple as going to the park, I'm counting every person, I have an image of every vehicle in and out and I regularly count the children to assure no one is missing or being led astray. As a child of a prison guard and later wife to a man who would take the same career, I had heard hundreds of stories across my lifetime. Things so terrible that after a while almost imbed themselves into your skin. The monsters of our nightmares as I know are real people. They had inmate numbers, names and locations in buildings I was all too aware of on a daily basis. A friend versed in psychology explained to me that these feelings erred on irrationality, that being aware is good and healthy but at the level I was experiencing my awareness I was mirroring generational post traumatic stress. A light turned on and my own journey to healing began. At the very least this trauma would end with me and not pass to my children. With my own experience growing up in this culture, my husband was himself an Iraq war Veteran with his own demons existing before he entered corrections. At this time we had moved 1200 miles away from Texas and my husband was retired from all corrections work and the army. One factor had been removed, coming home from the prison and adjusting to civilian life would be something he didn't have to do anymore at least on a daily basis. Or so I thought, I would over the years of academic study, my husbands countless hours of therapy though the VA and weeks on end of long talks between us I would learn otherwise. Adjustment from Iraq was one thing, but it seemed impossible to shake the evils he witnessed in the prison system. That was all too close to home. I learned that it takes regular practice to evolve from this type of thinking. Our experiences shape us dramatically across our lifetime and negative ones can linger with significant weight paired with stressed situations and true Post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression it can feel like an uphill battle one is losing on a daily basis.

My goal is to bring the cognitive behavior therapy techniques we have learned over the years along with new therapies to the forefront of spousal discussion and application. We don't have to drown in mental illness hanging on by a thread as we struggle to live normal healthy lives and raise our families. Families with members who work in corrections or formally worked in corrections, deserve a support system with techniques to help themselves and a road map to peace. From here I intend to gather data to forward to corrections administrations so that we can better prepare out officers before they ever step foot inside a prison.

Hello, my name is Emily Fox and I am nineteen years old. I am currently a sophomore at Northern Kentucky University and have been an associate at Kroger for roughly two years. My favorite pass times are hanging out with my family, listening to music, and traveling. I have a big family. I am the youngest of six and I have eight nieces and nephews (don't get me started on the amount of cousins I have). Music has been a staple in my life. My favorite genre is classic rock and I could probably tell you everything there is to know about The Beatles. Even though I rarely get to, I love traveling. My favorite places I have been are Kure Beach, NC and Chicago, IL. Other things I would like to add is that I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for four years. Also, I have an eight year old Shih-tzu named Louie and a three year old Lab mix named Oakley. All of these aspects of my life are very important to me and have made me into the person I am today.

My name is Clay Brock and I am an Integrative Studies major at Northern Kentucky University. I have a passion in the areas of entrepreneurship, communications, and sociology and hope to further study those areas as well. I love to work with all kinds of people and to look at problems and then potentially solve them. One day, I would love to run my own business which is why I am in the entrepreneurship discipline. I also think to run a business, communications is a key aspect to that as well which is why that is another one of my disciplines. I also am interested in the social aspect of humans which is why sociology is my third discipline.

In my free time I like to play baseball, hang out with my friends, and be with my family. I love to travel around the US with my family.

My main focus is basketball, as I am on the Men's Basketball team, but I have always made school a priority as well because without that, I can't play. After I earn my degree, I plan to play professionally for multiple years, and then find my passion working in sports business.

I am a creative, first and foremost. At 16 years old, I have performed in over 14 shows, both musicals and not. I have been in choir, I have been in cheerleading and soccer and forensics, and been an equestrian since I was five. I write, I read, I play ukulele as well as some kalimba and piano. I have been painting for years (majorly landscapes) and enjoy digital portraiture as well. I have always exceeded in languages and humanities in school, but that's where my scholarly talent lies; I'm hopeless at most STEM subjects. I've traveled quite a bit, often outside of the country. My favorite movie is Whiplash, my favorite band is the Fleet Foxes, and I am, as we all are, an amalgam of other amalgams.

My main goal while pursuing this major was to broaden and change my mindset into that of an interdisciplinary thinker. I have always had a variety of interests and hobbies, that I was not sure how to apply into a career field. Now graduating I can confidently say that I now have direction and the ability to apply what I have learned in a number of fields. I hope that when I graduate I can take what I have learned here in my NKU classes and create a creative and safe atmosphere wherever I find myself working.

I am a alumni of Walton Verona High School, where I was a track and field 4x state champion at the 110 meter hurdles and the 300 meter hurdles (won both races my junior and senior year). I enrolled at NKU and decided to lead YoungLife, a ministry that I was Involved with throughout high school. I have been a leader now for around 3 years. My favorite book Is The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. I love Fantasy books, but I often read biographies as well. When It comes to movies, my favorite Is Hacksaw Ridge. A movie about a conscientious objector who refuses to touch a gun In the middle of World War II who ends up single handedly saving more lives than anyone else In the history of WWII. I love playing guitar and traveling with my friends to beaches and national parks across the US. One of my hobbies I am most passionate about Is podcasting. I believe that podcasting Is so entertaining. It Is challenging, yet therapeutic to me. I believe that It can help others I the same way. Weather It Is for fun, or for spreading your voice and Ideals to the world, podcasting can solve that.

Leadership Opportunities: Being a YoungLife leader has been one of the most valuable experiences of my life. It takes so much sacrifice, but at the same time, It Is so rewarding. As a leader, I need to be able to go out of my way to reach students that need mentorship. The sacrifices Include spending money to buy kids food and gas when driving them everywhere. It sacrifices time, at least 3 nights a week, to show them that I care about them and teach them about the things that bring a satisfying and fulfilling life.

I have also had the opportunity to be a varsity track and field coach. I use the knowledge I have of the sport to better an entire team. My experience as a track athlete Is a huge help In how I coach these students. Being a varsity coach takes a lot of patience and flexibility. Both of these leadership roles have taught me valuable lessons. With being a YoungLife leader, It has taught me to learn how to cope when things do not go my way In the long run. I am not always able to reap what I sow. When It comes to coaching a varsity track team, It has taught me how to discipline people In a healthy, productive way.

Volunteer Service: I am a volunteer Audio Visual Technician for my church, Grace Fellowship.

Work Experience: I have been working at Hope Depot for the past 4 years. It Is a great job for full time students. I was also a life guard for 2 years, Skyline Chili for 2 years, and I worked with a company called Access Audio as an audio technician.

Hi! I am Palden Tamang. I'm a freshman international student at Northern Kentucky University, hailing all the way from Nepal. I'm pursuing a computer science major right now. I chose this degree because I enjoyed the more practical course content and also I aim to become an exceptional software engineer. Apart from academics, I enjoy playing football a lot. Football has always been my love because it gives me life. I've competed in a lot of competitions back in Nepal, but I've only been successful in winning once. I play football in my spare time, and after the first semester, I intend to try out for the NKU soccer team.

My name is Isabella Wittrock. I have two dogs, one is about 14 years old and one is 2 years old which we've had since she was 5 weeks old. I love to travel and my mom and I go to Disney about 1-2 times every year. At my high school I do 3 sports. I cheer for football and basketball, play volleyball, and play softball. Softball has been a huge part of my life since I've played for 10 years. I now play on a competitive summer team sponsored by the MLB Cincinnati Reds. I enjoy spending time with my friends and people that are close to me. I got the opportunity to go to the Governor's Scholar Program the summer of 2022 where I spent 5 weeks at Morehead State University. I studied architecture which was one of the coolest experiences I've had. I made friends from all across Kentucky and we still are very close to each other, even if it is not in distance.
