The first SOAR Scholar Cohort (2022/2023) conducted a qualitative and quantitative study of the well-being of Texas State students. They presented their research at the Texas State Undergraduate Research Conference.
Future cohorts will collaborate with faculty to conduct a community-based research project. The second cohort of SOAR Scholars (2023/2024) are working with Community Action, Inc. on a needs assessment of the mental health of youth in Hays County. Their findings will help community organizations better serve local youth.
