Victoria Heglin - Art Showcase Chané Higgo - “Formula 1 Stickers” (Art Showcase) For this creative project, I will present stickers inspired by quotes on and off the Formula 1 track. I will show how these stickers were made, from the initial sketches to the final designs. This sticker project also involved making and printing stickers and the challenges that come with handmade items. The project also allowed me to work on essential marketing elements to stand out in a sea of online sticker sellers. I will also discuss the importance of stickers in Formula 1 and how stickers are a big part of fan engagement. Genevieve Hopkinson, Ashley Whetzal, and Audrey Short - “Athletic Department Internship Group Purple” (session 6) This presentation reflects on a comprehensive internship within a collegiate Athletic Department, focusing on involvement in campus activities. It explores the motivation behind selecting this specific internship and the personal and professional growth experienced as a result. We will also share our responsibilities from pre- event planning to post-event analysis. The discussion will touch on the challenges faced, the aspects found most enjoyable and complex, and the success achieved. It will also examine the collaborative nature of the work, the pros and cons of the internship experience, and the future applications of the knowledge and skills acquired. Elizabeth Hubbard - “Toxic Shock: The Infection In a Box”(poster session) Toxic shock syndrome is a bacterial infection commonly associated with highly absorbent tampons among menstruating people. However, menstrual TSS hasn’t been as prevalent in tampons since around the 1980s due to the regulation of menstrual products. Because of these regulations, knowledge of menstrual and non-menstrual TSS is scarce. The symptoms are similar to other common infections, which can cause it to be overlooked and turn fatal. It is essential to bring awareness to this infection because though TSS may be rare, it doesn’t just affect people with periods. This infection can affect anyone who has undergone a surgical procedure or even with a simple cut left untreated. Sidni Hunter - “Zika” (poster session) Zika Virus, also known as Zika Fever, is an infectious disease caused by the Zika Virus. Like many other members of the Flaviviridae family, Zika is most commonly transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Despite global reductions in Zika cases, this virus is a continuing threat in many parts of the world. This presentation will cover general information about the Zika Virus and illuminate its significance in today’s medical industry.
Sidni Hunter - “Solarpunk: How Optimism can Rewrite our Future” (session 4) In response to increasing climate doomers, a new movement offers an unapologetically optimistic vision of the future. Solarpunk, a movement in fiction, art, and activism, envisions a future in which we have pulled back just in time to stop the destruction of our planet and have used sustainable, green technology to achieve a utopian-like society. This presentation will examine the background, applications, limitations, and implications of the Solarpunk movement. Sidni Hunter - “Wilderness Therapy: When Tough Love is Too Tough” (session 11) Wilderness Therapy is part of a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States aimed at helping “troubled teens.” These camps are advertised as therapeutic programs for teenagers experiencing a wide range of mental and behavioral problems. The reality, however, is that for over 200,000 young people in the United States, these camps subjected them to emotional and physical abuse that caused a lifetime of trauma. As survivors use #BreakingCodeSilence to share their stories, the abusive reality of Wilderness Therapy is brought to light. This presentation will examine the causes, effects, and solutions to Wilderness Therapy- because we can no longer allow these covert operations to hold our most vulnerable youth captive. Elizabeth Hurst - Art Showcase Elizabeth Hurst - “Women in a Gilded World” (session 2) In this multimedia presentation, I will be reading from my book-length poetry collection tentatively titled Book of Poems. I will read poems including “A Woman” and “Gilded World.” I will also show artistic representations of poems within the book, using acrylic on canvas and charcoal drawing. These poems are about politics and war and women’s experiences in the modern world and the problems they face. Ethan Hurt - Art & Agriculture Collaboration Showcase
