Abstracts Harren: I plan to give an oral presentation (humorous) about my experience with traffic while living in Shanghai last summer. I grew up in a town without stoplights, so living in Shanghai for the summer was a very unique experience, and getting used to the people and commotion was one of my biggest challenges. I also thought of myself and my country as very different from China before visiting. The way the traffic opened my eyes about differences was a very important personal experience, and perhaps sharing it with others will help them better embrace differences and to be more open to the practical implications behind them.
Vue: Have you ever question if a Chinese Fortune Cookie is truly Chinese? It took me long distances to find that this in fact is false as difficult it may be to accept. While in China bumping into two former students of CSBSJU, I learned that the Chinese Fortune Cookie was in fact invented in America. It is ironic as my reasons for traveling to China was because of a Chinese Fortune Cookie. "Stop waiting. Buy that ticket and take a trip."
Behne: The principle method utilized for medical treatment is by way of pharmacological interventions. Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions such as talk therapy and guided imagery are overlooked and underutilized, especially in regards to treating mental health conditions. A specific example I experienced was with treating depression, as many veterans I encountered during my time at the Veterans’ Affairs Medical Center are diagnosed with depression. A few effective non-pharmacological interventions for depression treatment are talk therapy and guided imagery. During my experience at the Veterans’ Affairs Medical Center, I was able to practice these interventions, which yielded effective results for temporary treatment of depressive symptoms. This presentation will focus on depression among the geriatric population and the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions with such symptoms.
Xiong: In my Chinese presentation, I will be talking about one of my dream goals that I have always had since I was a little girl. It is to learn about China: its cultures, traditions and language. Having the chance to learn more about China in college gave me an opportunity to experience China first hand. Next semester, I will be studying abroad in China. I hope that my language skills and my understanding of the Chinese culture will prepare me to learn even more. When I come back, I hope to become more fluent in the language and be able to continuously apply them to my everyday life. I believe that by working hard and never giving up, I can turn a seemingly naive childhood dream into a reality.
Iwakiri: My speech talks about the endangered species. I will illustrate this serious issue by talking about the giant panda bear's predicaments. I will also talk about the relationship between endangered species and the human beings. Due to our destructive way of life, endangered species are losing their habitats. We need to take actions to prevent their lives from extinction.
Tabak: The experience of being an Asian Studies major has greatly shaped my life as an artist and lover of art. However, my instersts in Asia and Art seemed very seperate to me until I realized that I could combine them in Asian Art History. In this Chiense language speech, I explore what this discoverty means for me as a student and artist.
Eggerichs: My presentation is about my study abroad experience in China. I talk about many of my favorite places, foods, and memories from my four months abroad. My time in China helped improve my Mandarin speaking,writing, and grammar skills. I am combining all of these acquired skills to fluently present this speech.

Abstracts Nowakowski: I will design a Catholic faith formation curriculum for young adults ages 20-30 that will consist of twelve topics to be implemented in Midwestern parishes, utilizing contemporary Catholic teaching, modern technology, and the latest pedagogical research.
Rausch: In the last 30 years, incarceration rates have climbed to 2.3 million people behind bars. Of these 2.3 million incarcerated citizens, an average of 52% will return to the prison system within three years. This paper argues that the Christian tradition, more specifically the notion of restorative justice, offers an alternative perspective to the conventional ethics of justice required in order to improve incarceration rates. As Christians we are compelled to confront the United States Incarceration rate by advocating for reform of the Federal Bureau of Prisons in accordance with the principle of restorative justice.
Decker, Stephens: St. Paul write is the Letter to the Romans, ""How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" This is a class project in Christian evangelization where we address the fundamental question: Why might someone be interested in following Jesus Christ? Our method of evangelization begins with sharing a story from our lives and then connecting it to the good news and challenge presented in a gospel story.
In our Theology 381 Youth Ministry course we read about evangelization and the process of conversion. We read sociological studies indicating that the fasting growing population in the United States is those who identify themselves as religiously unaffiliated. We then prepared and presented an evangelization talk in class seeking to foster interest in Christianity. We watched a videotape of our preaching and reflected on how to improve it. We then gave this evangelization talk in a local congregation to youth as part of a religious education teaching session. Now we would like to share our evangelization talks with the CSB/SJU community. We are calling it a festival of faith.
