Prospective transfer students often encounter obstacles when preparing to transfer to a four-year university. The process can be complex and difficult to navigate, resulting in a lower success rate and a higher risk of dropping out. Working with the University of Washington's student service department, we aimed to improve our support systems for transfer students and develop "Dawgtransfer". Dawgtransfer is a comprehensive platform featuring accessible and user-friendly tools that helps transfer students in Washington State navigate the transfer process more efficiently, while reducing workloads for academic advisors.

Campus health centers often experience high demand for mental health services, particularly during winter months in the Seattle, WA area. Our project aims to evaluate the feasibility of using a mobile/smartphone app as an additional or primary resource for low acuity, high demand services. By offering this digital resource, we hope to relieve pressure on campus health centers and provide students with accessible and convenient mental health support. The deliverables include a student-facing mobile app and a dashboard to track the occurrence of mental health issues on campus. Our team will evaluate the effectiveness of the app in meeting the needs of students. Our project assesses the feasibility of a mobile app as a low acuity, high demand mental health resource for Seattle campus health centers. This digital solution can alleviate pressure on centers during peak periods, offering accessible and convenient support to students. Deliverables include a student app and dashboard to track mental health trends. Our team will evaluate the app's effectiveness in meeting student needs.

Juno is a mobile application that provides evidence-based recovery protocols to patients recovering from C-section surgery. The app, created in partnership with medical professionals and recovery experts at UW Medicine, aims to reduce the incidence of post-surgery complications in the first weeks after surgery through daily check-ins, home care routines, and communication with medical staff, addressing the problem: "How might low-income mothers who have received a cesarean surgery within the Greater Seattle Area receive information on recovery care and warning signs of complications so that they can improve recovery outcomes in the first two weeks after surgery?"

The Labor Archives Assessment Project is a project to assess the status of the Labor Archives of Washington (LAW)'s collections in terms of their level of description, preservation or conservation concerns, housing quality, and more. This information was added to UW Special Collections' ArchivesSpace platform via its assessment module, which allows information about the status of collections to be linked to their accession records within ArchivesSpace. This module is currently underutilized in UW Special Collections, and this project seeks to serve as an example of the beneficial use of the ArchivesSpace assessment module.

The Lambert House LGBTQIA+ Youth Center houses a large special collection of queer and trans books but has lacked a clear classification system with a functional digital, remotely accessible catalog and check-out capabilities. I built off of previous work by adding or amending approximately 400 digital records to the public-facing collection, recommending subject heading changes to increase accessibility for intersectional identities, and weeding almost 300 materials for archival, donation, or disposal. I am continuing work with Lambert House to develop clear documentation of policies, ensuring a smooth transition to future volunteers and better serving LGBTQIA+ youths’ information needs.

Responsible for languages such as Klingon and Dothraki, constructed language creators invent the grammar, phonology, and lexicon of fictional languages - a practice known as “conlanging”. Despite the growing popularity of conlanging, conlangers lack sufficient tools to document their languages. In turn, conlangers devote significant time and effort towards recording information by-hand. In this capstone project our team collaborated with renowned conlangers David Peterson and Jessie Sams to create LangTime Engine, an application that simplifies the process of recording a conlang’s lexicon. As a result, we hope to ease the manual burden of conlangers and to make conlanging more accessible.

During a visit to our sponsor library we became aware of the resource needs of the Mam and how we as a group can help the library to meet those needs. Through our work we were able to create resource and suggestion lists as well as finding literature which surround the Mam community and immigrants as a whole. We also were able to conduct surveys and interviews to gauge perceptions of the library system. Our project is impactful to the Mam community as it hopefully creates a helpful guide for future collaboration between the library and the community.

(1 of 2 identical entries to list all students.) The Long COVID Open Source Research System is a team of 14 undergraduate students from the University of Washington Information School coming from all different backgrounds and concentrations. Led by Frank Martinez and Dr. Leo Morales, in partnership with the UW Latino Center for Health and Adios COVID, we have been brought in to research Long COVID—a little-known problem affecting communities across the world. Being from a Washington-based University, it was decided that we would uncover how Long COVID is affecting the population in our great state, in particular, Latinos in Eastern Washington. Throughout our 10-week quarter, we have developed this website and created an open-source research system, collecting data from both field and pre-existing research.
