This document discusses a study examining awareness of doctoral-level professions like audiology among undecided college freshmen. The study found that awareness and knowledge of audiology as a profession was lower than for optometry or podiatry. Future studies are needed with more diverse student populations to improve understanding of awareness levels and inform efforts to increase interest in audiology as a career. The aging population and rising incidence of hearing and balance issues will increase future demand for audiological services.
Holistic Review in Graduate Admissions: What we need to KnowJulia Michaels
The pathway to becoming a scientist leads through graduate school, and graduate admissions committees are the gatekeepers. This webinar will, co-hosted by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), the Coalition of Urban Serving Universities (USU), and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), will explore existing evidence for holistic review in graduate admissions and critical gaps in evidence that need to be addressed before implementing the practice broadly across programs.
Tracking Student Access to High-Impact Practices in STEMJulia Michaels
We know that certain “High-Impact Practices,” such as internships, undergraduate research, capstone courses, and learning communities, help undergraduate students persist and succeed. These practices have a disproportionately positive impact on students from underrepresented backgrounds. This webinar will briefly summarize the evidence for High-Impact Practices (HIPs) and share innovative efforts from California State University, Northridge and the University of South Carolina to track and analyze underrepresented student participation and outcomes.
Hiring Diverse Faculty: Promising PracticesJulia Michaels
University leaders know that a diverse faculty body is essential to excellence in research, teaching, service, and patient care. A diverse faculty contributes to a climate of inclusion on campus and promotes research on a wide variety of topics applicable to individuals from all backgrounds. Having a diverse faculty also encourages the ascension of diverse leaders to senior administrative positions. Although universities have a vested interest in diversifying their faculty, many universities struggle to achieve diversity goals – despite their best efforts. This webinar will explore evidence-based practices for faculty hiring as well as promising practices that could benefit from further testing. The webinar hosts will also share information about an upcoming project to pilot these promising practices, with the goal of improving evidence for strategies that work.

ABSTRACT: Nursing students need information literacy and academic writing skills to conduct research. The
aim of this study was to explore the information literacy and academic writing skills of final year undergraduate
nursing students in Buea, identify the various challenges faced during academic writing and to outline their
perceived opinions on the effective assistance of educators during academic writing. A cross-sectional study
design was used. The study duration was for five months. A sample of 200 final year nursing students was
purposively selected to take part in the study from four nursing institutions in Buea, Cameroon and distributed
by probability proportionate to size. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed
descriptively using SPSS 23.0. qualitative data generated from the open-ended questions were analyzed using
thematic content analysis, grounding and transcriptions. The Chi-square test was used to measure association
between categorical variables. Majorityof the respondents reported to have moderate information literacy skills
102(51.0%) and moderate academic writing skills92(46.0%). Also, they faced challenges during academic
writing such as: poor supervision 128(64.0%), ineffective feedback from supervisors 120(60.0%), poor
knowledge on search engines 114(57.0%), incompetency making conclusions on work read 112(56.0%),
ineffective teaching of academic writing 106(53.0%) and poor usage of search engines 102(51.0%). The
respondents suggested that effective and efficient teaching of academic writing 130(65.0%), effective feedback
80(40.0%), close supervision 60(30.0%), effective teaching of information literacy 25(12.5%) and search
engines 23(11.5%), and seminars 7(3.5%) could enhance their academic writing.

Doctors of Tomorrow – A Pipeline Program for Getting a Head Start in Medicineinventionjournals
Purpose: Pipeline programs have long been embraced as a strategyto recruit students from groups underrepresented in medicine into medical careers. Despite the prevalence of these programs, we know little about why students seek out participation and even less about their perceptions of the potential long-term benefits. This study explored the motivations and expectations of pipeline program participants. Method: Twenty-three high school students participated in the Doctors of Tomorrow (DoT) program, a high school and medical school partnership pipeline program from September 2014 through March 2015. Data for this study included students’ application essays, critical incident narratives, focus group discussions and transcripts from individual interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze all narrative materials and transcripts. Results: Our analysis of all program data revealed that DoT participants were motivated to participate in the program to learn about becoming a physician, gain access to individuals in medicine and develop a competitive advantage over other students when applying to college and medical school. Conclusions: Barriers to careers in medicine for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine is well documented. These findings suggest that students seek to participate in pipeline programs as astrategy to secure goal-oriented, experiential encounters to help improve access points and mitigate barriers to becoming physicians

1. Awareness of Doctoral-Level Professions Among
Undecided College Students
Kristen Hood, B.S. & Jeremy J. Donai, Ph.D., CCC-A,
West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV
Introduction
Methods
Results Conclusions
References
• Audiologists are highly-trained professionals that perform a variety of tasks
including diagnostic testing for auditory and/or vestibular disorders, prescribing
and fitting hearing aids, assisting in cochlear implant programs, performing
hearing-related surgical monitoring, designing and implementing hearing
conservation programs and newborn hearing screening programs, and providing
hearing rehabilitation training (AAA, 2014).
• Over the years, the profession has seen a dramatic increase in scope of practice
and concomitant increase in academic and clinical training requirements
• According the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (USBLS), “employment for
audiologists is expected to grow 34 percent from 2012-2022” (United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014)
• Over the next few decades the demand for audiological services is predicted to
significantly increase (Windmill & Freeman, 2013).
• The aging population has the highest incidence of hearing loss, tinnitus, and
dizziness which will further increase the demands of audiology services over the
next 30 years (Windmill & Freeman, 2013). In addition, approximately 30% of
elderly individuals experience dizziness and/or other vestibular related
symptoms (Jonsson, Sixt, Landahl, & Rosenhall, 2004).
• In order to meet the future demand of those with hearing and balance disorders,
the profession must examine its efforts to recruit students to the field of
audiology.
• The limited awareness of the profession of audiology among students is cause
for concern.
• The purpose of the current study was to examine the awareness of doctoral-level
professions among entering college freshman who have yet to declare a specific
major.
• Results of this study will help to implement further research into the
development of audiology awareness programs and activities among students
early in their academic training.
• The current survey was modified from the original survey used by Emanuel,
Donai, and Araj (2012) and Donai, Hicks, and McCart (2013).
• The survey was pilot tested with a class of undergraduate students at WVU.
Results of the pilot study indicated the survey was reliable in the revised
format, and that the modifications subsequent to the previous dissemination
provided for responses as intended.
• The one-page survey was distributed to entering college students participating
in the Mountaineer Success Academy (MSA) during a new-student orientation;
the surveys were distributed before the students received any information about
available academic majors.
• Students admitted into MSA were selected because they were undecided as to
an academic major.
• Completed surveys were received from 104 respondents, yielding a 98%
response rate.
• Demographics are similar to those of West Virginia University (College
Portraits, 2014).
• Results of this distribution showed the lowest awareness and knowledge of the
profession of audiology compared to podiatry and optometry among undecided
entering college students with self-reported knowledge.
• Students in this sample were approximately twice as likely to provide a correct
description of the profession of optometry and podiatry as compared to
audiology. This represents a 20% decrease in student ability to describe the
profession of audiology compared to entering students reported in Donai et al.
(2013).
• In this study, 9 of 10 students reported being unfamiliar with the undergraduate
CSD program at WVU. It is important to raise awareness so that students are
able to make the choice of studying this major.
• The involvement of the individual, student, and professional organizations can
help facilitate the increase of awareness of the profession.
• The use of one university for survey dissemination severely limits the
generalizability of the results.
• Due to the use of only one university for distribution, future surveys should be
conducted with a more diverse selection of undecided college students from
additional universities
• Future studies of audiology awareness should be completed with students at
various stages in the educational progression as well as among the general
public.
