Yago Merino - “Population Demography of Pond Turtles (Emydidae) in Mid-Missouri Farm Ponds” (session 6) Turtles within the Family Emydidae spend most of their lives in water bodies that provide abundant food sources, such as crayfish and small species of fish. However, the terrestrial landscapes surrounding these aquatic systems are just as integral to their life histories, as they are utilized as nesting habitat. The purpose of this research was to estimate the population sizes of two species of turtles in the Family Emydidae inhabiting local farm ponds. Population size was calculated using mark-recapture data collected via pit tagging, shell notching, and photo identification. Turtles were captured using baited hoop nets in two different farm ponds in Saline County, MO, and were checked 24 to 36 hours after they were set. Apart from mark-recapture data, standard measurements were recorded for every individual captured. This research also increased our knowledge regarding the ability of these turtles to utilize habitat within an altered landscape. Margaret Meyer - “Assessment in Special Education” (session 14) Assessment is very different when it comes to a normal classroom setting and a special education setting. It is important to discuss how assessment differs from regular classroom assessment, different types of assessments used in the classroom, why assessment is important in a classroom setting and special education. Important factors that are going to be discussed are Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Lastly this presentation will discuss modification and accommodations. These are all important factors when looking at assessment and are all important parts of the assessment process. Nicholas Miles & Shumpei Kaneko, - “Fraud Scheme - Sunbeam Scandal” (poster session) This presentation consists of a 36” by 24” poster detailing the ongoing complexities that occurred in 1998 involving Sunbeam Ex-CEO Al Dunlap and his executives that cost the company its time, integrity, and overall esteem. This occurred due to Dunlap’s lack of respect and affliction for his position and role in Sunbeam. His intentional undermining of business laws and norms resulted in a significant financial loss on the part of the company. Furthermore, Sunbeam’s eagerness to save the company after many years of profit loss allowed for these decisions and actions to go unnoticed and bypass multiple finance reports and audits. Kloee Mills - see K. Gutierrez Angelique Morgan - “Population Ecology of Turtles Inhabiting Mid-Missouri Farm Ponds” (session 6) Missouri is home to a diverse group of species within the order Testudines (Turtles). Turtles can be classified into three groups: hard-shelled aquatic turtles, hard-shelled land turtles (box turtles), and soft-shelled turtles. The
focus of this study was on the hard shelled aquatic group. The goal of this study was to examine turtle immigration and emigration patterns between the Missouri river and two local farm ponds, using mark- recapture methodology and radio-telemetry. Turtles were captured using baited hoop nets and released unharmed at the point of capture. DeRel Morris - Purple Patch Editor’s Choice Award for Creative Nonfiction: “Anatomy Lessons” (session 9) DeRel Morris - “Violence and Intersectionality in All Boys Aren’t Blue and Heavy” (session 11) George Johnson’s 2020 memoir All Boys Aren’t Blue and Kiese Laymon’s 2018 memoir Heavy examine different forms of intersectionality and violence experienced in the United States. My research demonstrates how George Johnson and Kiese Layman shed light on the violence that minority groups within a minority group experience and how members of those groups have to navigate and sacrifice their identities in their communities . I will then argue how the patriarchy not only harms those subjected to its violence but also those who perpetrate and perpetuate it. DeRel Morris - “Who Are You Truly? Act II” (session 3) I will write and perform a monologue on the impacts of the patriarchy and how it not only harms those that experience the violence but also those who are supposed to benefit from it. I will then further explore idealisms of unconditional love and what’s the pathway for us all to stop living lavishly in the world of hurting. I not only want to ask, who are you truly? but also how can you return home to yourself? MacKenzie Murphree - “I Don’t Know How I Got Here” (session 10) Inspired by working with a client for the Master’s in Community Counseling clinical internship, this presentation will explore how someone can lose themselves in a relationship. This typically begins with their partner pushing and testing boundaries and the eventual adaptation to meet those boundaries, losing any control they once had. This is enmeshment; a lack of separation between an individual and their partner. This individuation can lead to the total loss of their social support. My client was able to embrace counseling specifically because she reached a point where she was unable to recognize herself. This case was approached with solution-focused and systems theory. It felt integral to explore the power and control wheel and the different forms of abuse. It is exciting to be able to share this with others in hopes that it can help other women in similar situations gain the courage they need to move forward.
