Dating Violence: What are Healthy Relationships?
Students: Arianne Brown and Amber Isham
Advisor: Dr. David Rohde
The dating violence project takes place at Central High School in West Allis, Wis. The goal of this project is to increase awareness of dating violence in the high school through brochures, posters and a small change in their health curriculum. Through awareness, students will develop an understanding of healthy relationships and it is our hopes that this will help decrease the incidence of the ‘circle of violence' within the West Allis community.
An HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Education and Awareness Campaign.
Students: Megan Ingvalson and Nikki Kroner
Advisor: Dr. David Rohde
The purpose of this project is to provide the MSOE student population with information regarding Human Papillomavirus (HPV), its link to Cervical Cancer, and the new vaccine available to young women. We will develop an informational pamphlet to be distributed to the student population and an informational poster to increase awareness on campus.
Development of Campus Quarantine Policy
Students: Christopher Koblosky-Brandenburg, Christine Giese, Samantha Griffith
Advisor: Josie Wollenhaupt
In this project, a complete epidemic quarantine policy is being developed in collaboration with campus security, housing, food, and health services. The policy will be implemented and evaluated primarily by health services. The ultimate purpose is to lay out specific rules, guidelines, and procedures to be followed by administration, faculty, and students of the Milwaukee School of Engineering in the event of an infectious outbreak.
MSOE Health Services for Students
Students: Rocio Harms, Michelle Meger, Caroline Xiong
Advisor: Paula Walker and Renee Wenzlaff
The purpose of this change project is to ultimately expand the MSOE Health Services department into a clinic for MSOE students to utilize. Currently, students are referred to local urgent care facilities for almost all healthcare related needs. We are working closely with an MSOE professor who is also licensed as a nurse practitioner and the current MSOE nurse to develop a health clinic in which students can come to and receive affordable non-emergent health care services. Our goal is to complete the groundwork necessary to implement this clinic in the near future. We are working with an MSOE junior who will go forward with this change project next year.
Pandemic Flu Preparedness
Students: Erin Gross, Jodi McAlister, Katie Laudermith, Sarah Harter
Advisor: Josie Wollenhaupt
The purpose of this project is to increase campus-wide awareness of the pandemic flu. The project entails a PowerPoint presentation that will be made available to all of the departments on campus. The presentation discusses the significance of the pandemic flu, the mode of transmission, targeted population, signs and symptoms, and possible treatments. In addition, a sample disaster kit will be assembled and provided to the Milwaukee School of Engineering Health Services.
New Onset Diabetes
Students: Kate Brandstetter and Erika Hahner
Advisor: Paula Walker
