  Cost of College

  Kayla Bryant, Noel Fleeman, Hannah Gerstacker, Samantha Stanton, Jameka Swain, Daniel Wasniewski, and David Waugh

  We propose that we should alter the way public post-secondary institutions are funded in Ohio and suggest that the state of Ohio should subsidize some cost for the institution. In return, we hope this would trigger the institutions to cut tuition cost and in return, so students will have less of a financial burden when considering higher education.

  Queer Equality

  Mark Butcher, Tania Cosby, Christina Gordon, Sebastian Lenz, Reagan Herndon, and Darrell White

  There are nearly 9 million people identifying as LGBT+ here in America, Many of whom have been denied basic rights and equality in their lifetime. LGBT+/Gender Identity Rights and Equality has been a heated issue for centuries, and one major factor behind that has been the laws and conventions of society. Since around 1636, same-sex relationships have been considered violations of sodomy laws, leading to the arrest and execution of many homosexual people over the years. States have maintained individual laws allowing LGBT+ discrimination, some still to this day. In 1952, the Government even “purged” all queer employees from their positions as a matter of “National Security.”

  Despite all of this, progress was being made. In 1981, queer culture was becoming widely accepted and normalized. But then, everything changed when the AIDS crisis occurred. The incorrect stereotype that only gay men could spread the disease led to a reversal of progress and a rejuvenation of homophobia around the country. AIDS was even called GRID at first (Gay- Related Immune Deficiency), a direct reference to the homophobic stereotype. All this shows how reform is possible, but bias and the laws that encourage it have been a large roadblock in making that reform.

  The Cost of College: Today and the 70s

  Noel Fleeman, Hannah Gerstacker, Jameka Swain, Kayla Bryant, David Waugh, Samantha Stanton, and Daniel Wasniewski

  When starting to look at college's we look at the price of what everything cost: dorms, class credit prices, meal tickets, and books. Well what if everything was lowered in price? What if our tuition could be free? What if more people would go to college if these things were true. With debt being a major cause of why young adults and adults don't want to go back to school after starting in the real world. Public university in the United States have periodically increased the cost of tuition which have resulted in drastic amounts of student debt.

  Surviving Depression Together

  Miquela Givens, Nate Harmon, and Deaven Banks

  There are many types of therapy available to treat depression. Three of the more common methods used in depression treatment include cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and psycho-dynamic therapy. Often, a blended approach is used.

Therapy can also help you work through the root of your depression, helping you understand why you feel a certain way, what your triggers are for depression, and what you can do to stay healthy.
