Isabela Harp, Yoshiki Igarashi, Samuel Green, Victor Parisi, Taiga Matsumoto, Ilian Stoehr - “Behind the Game: The Hidden Work of Athletic Interns” (session 14) During our internship for the athletic department we were asked to perform a certain amount of duties for home game days, which included managing social media, supervising events, taking care of the referees, coming up with new activities to engage the audience, etc. These tasks gave us a broad view of how much planning and hard work goes behind the scenes, things that spectators don’t know when they step on the field and/or court. This presentation’s purpose is to make people see it, and to highlight the contributions we, as interns, made throughout the semester. By sharing our individual experiences, we hope to give future interns a better understanding of the position and what they can expect. Our goal is not only to recognize the effort required for successful game day operations but also to encourage others to take on this rewarding opportunity in the upcoming semesters. It’s a role that requires teamwork but offers great learning and professional growth. Chané Higgo - “Parc Fermé: The Intersection of Motorsport, Art, & Femininity” (poster session 2) Motorsport is often characterized by speed, precision, and a hyper-masculine culture, yet its intersection with fine art reveals a more nuanced narrative. Parc Fermé explores the tension between motion and stillness, competition and grace, and mechanical precision and human expression. Through the fusion of motorsport imagery with organic elements, this research challenges traditional gender narratives and reimagines racing culture as a space of artistic and conceptual exploitation. By integrating themes of femininity, restraint, and performance, this work highlights overlooked nuances in an adrenaline-fueled world. Drawing from art history, motosport aesthetics, and gender discourse to engage with it through a new, interdisciplinary lens. Sidni Hunter - “Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Water Quality, and Community Composition and Diversity of Fishes in the Salt Fork Creek, Saline County, Missouri.” (session 18) A range of abiotic and biotic factors influence the distribution and abundance of fishes. Fish community composition can be used to assess the ecological health of a waterbody. Fishes, standard water quality parameters, and nitrogen content were sampled at three study sites along the Salt Fork Creek in the spring of 2025. These data were compared to data collected from the same sites in previous years. The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of agriculture on the integrity of the Salt Fork Creek. Marco Iberle - “AI in the Classroom: How Does AI Change Teaching and Learning?” (poster session 2) What impact does the use of artificial intelligence (AI) have on the education system, and to what extent does it change the role of teachers and individuals learning? Artificial intelligence has the potential to make education more accessible, efficient and individualized. Through adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutors, automated feedback systems, lessons can be personalized more closely to the needs of individual students. At the same time, artificial intelligence opens up new opportunities for teachers, for example by analyzing learning data or automating time consuming tasks such as corrections. Artificial intelligence-based tools including chatbots, speech recognition or personalized learning software can not only speed up learning, but also make it more equal. In conclusion, artificial intelligence is a valuable tool in education, but only if it is used wisely and supports rather than replaces the human relationship between teachers and students.

The skeletal system changes as aging occurs: bone density decreases, causing bones to be more fragile. The process of aging can impact the body’s systems and ability to adapt. This body change is often demonstrated by increased bone healing time in people over 65 years of age. Through the study of pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions presented in current peer reviewed research, an educational module was developed. The purpose was to inform geriatric patients on methods to gradually implement interventions to promote bone health in their life. This project aims to educate individuals about management, importance of treatment and lifestyle changes to improve expected outcomes of osteoporosis. Claryssa Jacobo - “How Dyslexia Impacts College Students and Resources Provided for Students” (poster session 1) Within this project it will be explained how dyslexia impacts the daily life of college students. Evaluating resources that are provided to students to help them succeed in their academic career and to help overcome their disorders. Starting from the diagnostic process of the students, then using academic resources to support my thesis. I will further describe how this learning disorder impacts college students in their learning and daily life. Those who have dyslexia and those who do not experience this disorder will gain an understanding of the proper resources that can be provided to those who may need them. Mariia Karabchevskaia - “How Can Forming a Local Community for Physical Activities Help Prevent Prediabetes and Support Individuals with Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes in a Small Town in Missouri?” (session 13) This research focuses on how forming a local community for physical activities can help prevent prediabetes and support individuals with type 1 diabetes in a small town in Missouri. At this stage, I am presenting the idea of this research, which will be fully developed through further planning and execution. Small towns often lack access to quality diabetes education and healthcare, making this initiative important for improving residents’ health. The proposed methodology involves organizing an event where participants engage in light physical activities, such as walking and stretching. Before and after the event, surveys will assess participants’ awareness of diabetes and attitudes toward physical activity. Additional medical data collection will depend on the available support, and the results will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of community-driven initiatives in promoting healthy habits. This project aims to create a sustainable community that will continue supporting diabetes prevention even after the research is completed, with potential for expansion to other regions.
