Petelo Ioane - “Mental Health On College Student Athletes” (poster session) Student athletes struggle with mental health due to studying, practices and high demands from coaches and family members. As a former student athlete for Missouri Valley College football program the amount of training and school work made juggling everything seem impossible. A recent study showed that 30% of student athletes were overwhelmed and 25% of student athletes feel mentally drained (Lindberg, 2021). This project addresses the question of student perception of student athlete balance of academics, athletics, mental health and family. My project surveys approximately 100 undergraduate students at Missouri Valley College and asks about grade level, ethnicity, athlete status, and sports’ effect on grades and stress, and emphasizes the need for students to use resources around them. Andre Ireland - “Factors Related to Perception of Criminals” (session 2) This study examines how societal injustices influence students’ perceptions of scammers and criminals. It suggests that increased awareness of social inequalities may lead individuals to view criminal behavior through a socioeconomic lens, attributing it to societal problems, lack of opportunities, or poverty. The research involves presenting participants with scenarios depicting individuals engaging in scam or criminal-like activities, manipulating the character’s race. After reading the scenarios, participants will answer questions about their thoughts and feelings regarding the incident and the offender. Through this, the study aims to understand how socioeconomic awareness impacts perceptions of criminal behavior. The survey consists of demographic, social injustice awareness, scenario presentation, and opinion sections, each containing ten to eleven questions. This research contributes to understanding how society perceives those who operate outside the law.

Julius Kruger - “Could the “Mighty” GDP Actually be Overrated?” (session 3) I have been thinking about the importance of the GDP on an economy’s strength evaluation for a while. So I decided to question the importance of the GDP and research if there might be other factors that are currently undervalued in evaluating an economy. Carlie M. Lamparter - Special Session: Patrol Procedures Darren Lampley “Traumatic Brain Injuries” (poster session) Since the beginning of August, here at Missouri Valley College there have been 43 concussions among the athletic teams. Concussions can cause you to have a slower reaction time and memory loss, which can affect how you play and how you operate in the future. Brain injuries have also been the leading cause of an increase of depression and anxiety, along with mood swings and affecting your sleep. Allexis Lark - see Pradhan Valentin Laser - “Supplemental Instruction - An Innovative Way to Encourage Student Excellence” (session 12) In this presentation, I emphasize the dynamic role of a supplemental instructor, combining personal experience with research findings to offer an overview of an effective way to enhance student learning. Being a supplemental instructor for four months has made me realize that this position has a huge potential to help students.
