Howard will be continuing research on healthcare delivery for marginalized patients in safety-net clinics located in Washington, DC. The aim of this research, guided by Dr. Sharon Laing, is to better understand which needs of safety-net patients are not currently being supported by community health clinics so that they can be considered and implemented in future healthcare frameworks.

Wagner’s research includes the parsing, annotation and citation of FBI files related to a book project currently being undertaken by his advisor, Dr. Michael Honey. The compilation of a rudimentary guide on proper citation practice in regard to FBI files is also in process. The project has been underway for one quarter already, and will continue for at least another two. Casey is a sophomore at UW Tacoma currently aiming to dual-major in computer science and history.
