First-Generation Stan State Students:
Open-Ended Responses from the National Survey of Student Engagement.
Presentation
This study examines Student Success indicators and coded themes from open-ended responses completed by first-year and senior college students at California State University, Stanislaus. The purpose of this study is to examine whether student success indicators will provide researchers with evidence-based insights into identifying best practices for improving graduation rates and eliminating achievement gaps for students. The results of this study demonstrate that student-faculty relationships are a major concern among college students and that administrators should develop constructive interventions to facilitate and improve student-faculty bonding as a method for promoting student success.
Bio
Dr. Chintakrindi’s research interests includes educational assessment research, offender rehabilitation, examining the intersection of crime, mental health, and substance use which he analyzes through criminological theory testing, experimental methods, and statistics. His research emphasizes the examination of criminal justice, public health, and economic outcomes for offenders entering and exiting the criminal justice system. His research utilizes both primary and secondary data sources to guide the development of evidence based practices to inform policy and to evaluate treatment interventions for individuals with criminogenic risk-factors and offenders reentering the community.

What Great Novels Can Teach Us About Intimacy
Presentation
I’ll discuss my two scholarly monographs, published in 2011 and 2023, that examine the evolution of intimacy--among spouses, lovers, within families, and between analysts and patients--and how novelists both record and contribute to this evolution.
Bio
