As the Primary Investigator on this research, I had worked on designing and piloting this study from 2016-2017, and in keeping with the strategic plan of the Campus Diversity Committee, and with the assistance of the Faculty Senate President, I was able to administer the survey online in Spring 2018 to 8770 Stockton students, with a response rate of 2511 completed surveys (29%). With funding provided by the Provost, along with Dr. Yulong Gu, I analyzed the data and prepared this report for the Stockton University Faculty Senate and Provost in summer 2018. This one-year long study assessed the campus climate for students on issues of exclusionary behavior, diversity, sexual harassment, veteran, and LGBTQIA concerns to determine the overall inclusiveness and safety on campus for students with identification of gaps, and provision of recommendations. A final report was submitted to the Faculty Senate and the Provost and I presented to all major stakeholders on campus through separate presentations and open forums (see CV, under Presentations- Section B). Two manuscripts were prepared from the survey findings and are presently under review.

Out of the year-long work of the Steering Committee on Strategic Planning, of which I was a faculty member, a long-term strategic plan of the university was developed with the facilitation of an external consulting company, DumontJenks.

- Shah, A. P. (2018). THE EMPOWERMENT ZONE CORE-VALUES BUILDING PEDAGOGICAL PRIMER. The book is built upon my Self Empowerment Model for Preparing Future HealthCare Professionals (Shah, 2018). This is a workbook of pedagogical activities designed by me that are being implemented to enhance students’ self esteem, self-empowerment, and self-responsibility (i.e., emotional intelligence). These measures are important for the overall student success not only in any given course, but especially as part of the core lifeskills essential as a future healthcare professional. The book contains a curriculum to demonstrate to the students the various skills needed in the profession, and uses a progress bar to help them track their own development and deepen the practice in areas low on the progress bar. All of the worksheets were recently used as a test-case in my HLTH 3115 Speech and Language Development, as part of a study to test this model and teaching practice. Significant results were accomplished at the end of the semester for students; the results of the study were published in Perspectives-SIG 14 (Dec., 2014), and presented at two peer-review national conference on teaching and communication sciences and disorders respectively
