About the program: BOLD (BIH Omladinski Lideri, Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders) Institute is an international exchange program sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Bosnia & Herzegovina, which brings the best and bright young professionals from BiH region to the U.S. The BOLD Fellowship consists of an academic residency hosted by UNO. This five-week intensive academic residency program takes place on the UNO campus, and introduces participants to a range of diverse cultures and opportunities within the context of U.S. civic engagement. Through the BOLD Institute on Civic Engagement at UNO, BOLD fellows will learn about the principles of democracy, diversity, and community service. Through experiential learning opportunities, fellows will develop leadership, communication, and team-building skills that will be used to enhance civic engagement in their communities, deepen bonds among ASEAN member-states, and reinforce ties between the U.S. and ASEAN. BOLD fellows will also have opportunities to interact with civic leaders from across the state and academic leaders from UNO. Fellows will also connect with UNO students from the U.S. and other countries through civic and cultural events. In addition, fellows will have time to explore the local area, participate in U.S. holidays and celebrations, and travel to historical sites throughout the Midwest. Fellows will also develop an Action Plan to implement in their home countries, and upon completion of the Action Plan, be eligible for funding opportunities through the BOLD alumni network (see the below information about the Action Plans). This panel is part of multiple activities and events that happen throughout omaha with specialty interest meetings. | ||

Our expected outcomes include increasing open source project health knowledge to new contexts, sustaining a community focused open source project health, and the creation of reference sets of processes and guidelines to help people make informed decisions regarding open source project health in new contexts. | |||||||
| An examination of five service areas in a child advocacy center: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2905) | Social Justice | Project harmony | Criminology and Criminal Justice | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Despite the widespread support for a coordinated response to child maltreatment, little empirical research examines the ongoing successes and barriers faced by Child Advocacy Centers (CACs). The current study examines perspectives on program operations within a large CAC in the Nebraska across 14 focus groups, including both internal CAC staff (<i>N</i>=32) and external agency partners (<i>N</i>=37). Participants were representative of five service areas: advocacy, medical, mental health, forensic interviewing, and multidisciplinary teams. Universal successes and barriers were identified across all service areas. Still, the findings indicate a need to also consider the unique factors affecting each service area. The importance of these findings is discussed for those working in arenas that provide services to youth and families exposed to trauma. | ||||
| Why the Fed can’t stop prices from going up: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2906) | Economic Impact | Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta | Finance, Banking, and Real Estate | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | The Federal Reserve is about to begin its most challenging inflation-fighting campaign in four decades. And a lot is at stake for consumers, companies and the U.S. economy.<br><br>Most economists predict the Fed will raise interest rates by a quarter point on March 16, 2022, the first of many increases the U.S. central bank is expected to make over the coming months. The aim is to tamp down inflation that has been running at a year-over-year pace of 7.9%, the fastest since February 1982.<br><br>The challenge for the Fed is to do this without sending the economy into recession. Some economists and observers are already raising the specter of stagflation, which means high inflation coupled with a stagnating economy.<br><br>As an expert on financial markets, I believe there’s good news and bad when it comes to the Fed’s upcoming battle against inflation.

| Start where the social worker is: Perceptions of clinical licensure in Nebraska:(Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2907) | Health and Wellness | Omni Inventive Care (Formerly Omni Behavioral Health) | Social Work | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | The published research on social workers’ perception of clinical licensure is sparse, with most available research exploring licensure from the perspective of social work faculty, students, or field education supervisors. This exploratory survey research seeks to contribute to the limited information available by evaluating the perceptions of clinical licensure from social workers (N = 519) and comparing social workers’ perceptions to other mental health professionals (OMHP) (N = 624). The results indicate agreement between respondents that licensure is important and that universities value licensing. Most consider that universities should be evaluated based on whether students pass licensing exams and that faculty should be licensed. Many social workers report confusion about licensing and feel ill-prepared to take a licensing exam. There are significant differences between social workers and OMHP in several areas. Additionally, differences are distinct between White and non-White social workers’ perception of universities’ ability to prepare them for licensing exams. | ||||
| Do Degrees Matter?: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2908) | Economic Impact | Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services | Social Work | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Without question, there is a serious workforce problem within the general child and adult behavioral health care industry. When adding intellectual disabilities as a co-occurring disorder with mental illness, the qualified workforce inadequacies become even more severe. To complicate matters, the lack of validated or accommodated EBTs. for this population of mentally ill and intellectually challenged persons is virtually non-existent. Consistent with the conceptual strategy of task shifting and training within the context of usual care, this project provided specialized training to a wide variety of both professional and paraprofessional persons within the behavioral health, child welfare, and correctional industries. Results indicated that all participants improved their basic knowledge of this comorbid population, demonstrated a better understanding of EBTs, and exhibited a willingness to employ EBT approaches in their management and treatment strategies.<br> | ||||
| I Will Get a Reward, Too: 2021-22 (2909) | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Incentivized customer referral programs (e.g., “Refer a friend, reward yourself!”) are prevalent, yet they usually have low referring rates. We propose a psychological barrier: existing customers (referrers) view incentivized referring as an exchange activity, which feels incompatible with their communal relationship with friends (referees). In eight studies (N = 2,111; four preregistered, two in the field), we propose and find that disclosing the referrer-reward in the invitation message—a not yet widely adopted practice—can promote referring by making the<br>referring action seem more compatible with communal norms. Specifically, disclosure conveys the referrer’s honesty and highlights the social, collaborative aspect of the referral opportunity, both of which are desirable in communal interactions. We further identify four theoretically and practically relevant boundary conditions: (1) the referrer-referee relationship (communal or exchange), (2) the framing of the referral opportunity (whether it is already framed as a communal activity or not), (3) the relative reward amount (whether the referrer-reward is higher than, the same as, or lower than the referee-reward), and (4) the stated source of the referrer-reward (the company or the referee’s spending). We conclude by discussing the theoretical and practical implications.<br><br> | |||||||
| Bilingual investment models of Dual Language Immersion Program Alumni: (Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2910) | Educational Support | Omaha Public Schools | Teacher Education | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | The article explores bilingual investments of dual-language immersion program alumni through an intersectional narrative analysis. Focusing on the experiences of bilingualism of six alumni, we investigate how they continue to be invested in bilingualism, the factors that shape their self-positionings as bilinguals, and the extent to which race is implicated in their experiences as bilingual speakers of Spanish and English. The analysis revealed that investment is not always agentive and is obligatory, and habitual – less conscious linguistic behavior. While individual efforts sustain bilingual investment, biculturalism requires a collective practice. Bilingual experiences are racialized, and raciolinguistic ideologies at home school, and society at large shape alumni’s bilingual investments. Across all findings, we discuss individual and collective similarities and differences among Hispanic/Latinx and White alumni. The article ends with implications for future research and practical recommendations for designing equitable bilingual programs. |
