Even 3 years past initial lockdown, the COVID-19 pandemic is still a relatively new phenomenon in the world of sociology that leaves a lot to be explored. My senior thesis project aims to investigate an unexplored corner in this gap, specifically parenting and higher education. I'm interested in researching teaching instructors (professors, teaching graduate students, etc.) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who had parenting responsibilities through the COVID-19 pandemic while working at the university. I want to explore how the shift to online working/teaching affected parenthood and work/life balance, as well as the return to on-campus teaching. Although it will be an in-depth exploration, I'm specifically interested in what parts of parenting became easier during the pandemic and what instructors miss about the pandemic, and what this reveals about the gaps in higher education work culture.
We would like to learn about how people who apply for healthcare financial assistance experience the application process, including things that make the application process work well or that were challenging. At this time we are not able to offer interviews to people who applied to UNC or Duke, we are interested in hearing from people who applied to other programs (such as Atrium, Novant, Wake, Vidant, ECU, Cape Fear Health Net, Physicians Reach Out, or Project Access).

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the number of female collegiate athletes who fall in the "at-risk"category for developing low energy availability. Low energy availability can cause an increased risk of developing a musculoskeletal injury. If we can learn how common the condition is, then we can work to develop better strategies for screening purposes.
This study aims to find better ways to serve children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We will use 3 rounds of online surveys to develop a list of functionality features that are most relevant for serving school-age autistic children. We hope this list can be used to improve services and support for those who are on the autism spectrum.
