Ethics is central to scientific and engineering research and practice, but a key challenge for promoting students' ethical formation involves enhancing faculty members' ability and confidence in embedding positive ethical learning experiences into their curriculums. To this end, this paper explores changes in faculty members' approaches to and perceptions of ethics education following their participation in a multi-year interdisciplinary faculty learning community (FLC). We conducted and thematically analyzed semi-structured interviews with 11 participants following the second year of the FLC.

- The COVID-19 pandemic and social justice movements significantly affected the college experience of undergraduate students at a private university, reflecting both positive and negative emotions.
- In surveys conducted in August 2020 and January 2021, students reported experiencing a wide range of emotions in response to both the pandemic and the civil unrest related to systemic racism.
- Notably, students felt more positively about the civil unrest than about COVID-19 in August 2020, but negative emotions regarding the pandemic increased even after vaccines became available in January 2021.

Purpose: Emerging literature suggests that the emotional and behavioral experience in young women's romantic/sexual relationships may link to their academic success. However, existing studies' reliance on retrospective and/or global measures prevents detailed understanding of how and when specific academic experiences link to specific relationship experiences and whether these associations could vary over different school days.
Methods: Adolescent women (N = 387; 14-17 years at enrollment) were recruited from primary care adolescent clinics for a longitudinal cohort study of sexual relationships and sexual behavior.
