Thrift Shop Environment Project
In this project we decided to compare and contrast two different thrift stores. A well known thrift store and a local Eugene thrift store. We decided to look at Goodwill and Thrift King. We looked at the different nonverbals each store conveys through the building structure, environment, and the things inside of each thrift store to see what nonverbal messages are sent.

COVID-19 Research Term Project
Getting communities to comply to COVID-19 restrictions often times requires effective persuasive appeals. By studying the communication of leadership at two American colleges, Purdue University and Indiana University of Bloomington, we came to a greater understanding as to what works and what doesn’t work when crafting persuasive messages that can be helpful in not only this pandemic but for effective communication in future disasters as well.

Contemporary Parable Project
Jesus often communicated spiritual or theological truth through parables. The details of the parables were contemporary to the original hearers in 1st Century Palestine. Students have created modern-day parables that teach similar spiritual or theological truth to the parables of Jesus. The following parables will be on display: “The 10 Virgins,” “The Good Samaritan,” “The Pearl,” “The Banquet,” “The Sower,” “The Prodigal Son,” and “The Lost Sheep.”
