Item Nitrogen Fixation Potentials o f Three Native Legume Species(November 7, 2024) Barton, CaitlynUnderstory prescribed burning is commonly used in the management of pine (Pinus spp.) and mixed pine hardwood forests in the southeastern United States. While the ecological and economic benefits of burning are widely recognized, some essential nutrients, particularly nitrogen (N), may be lost during burning. The N losses due to burning may be countered via symbiotic N2-fixation by native herbaceous legumes that commonly thrive in regularly burned pine forests. The objectives of this study were to measure legume growth and N2-fixation activity under shade conditions representative of pine forest understories.Item Rose Colored Glasses: Inequalities in Collegiate Athletics(November 7, 2024) Cass, EmmieAs Title IX recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, there are still looming debates centered around compliance with the federal policy, inequalities in collegiate athletics, and approaches to alleviate such issues at hand.

Furthermore, this study explored if differences existed between the experience and perspective of (in)equality across same-sex programs (i.e., softball; basketball) and non-same-sex programs (i.e., track & field).Item Graduate Research Symposium (2024 Program)(2024-11-07) University of West GeorgiaThe Inaugural University of West Georgia Research Symposium was organized by Ingram Library in conjunction with the UWG Graduate School.

These findings have important implications for community college administrators, as they can use this information to make strategic decisions about modality enrollment and better serve their students and institutions.Item Graduate Research Symposium Details(2024-11-04) Cook, JeanA screenshot of a site created by Instructional Services Librarian, Jean Cook, to promote the University of West Georgia Graduate Research Symposium.
