Alexis Tappe, Steven Weathers, and Clarissa Hagler - “Day in the Life of Game-Day Operations” (session 2) In the fall of 2023, we completed a game-day operations internship incorporating professional skills such as communication, marketing, and time management. These skills will help us become future Athletic Directors, Collegiate Coaches, or Athletics staff/personnel. Everyone involved benefited from learning the behind-the-scenes process that goes into athletic events, and we learned to value the role that all team members played in making that happen. Overall, the internship had positive and negative outcomes, all of which were learned from hands- on experience. This internship left a positive impression on our viewpoints of athletics and instilled a different perspective on the workload. Adelia Timmer - “Poems” (session 4) Poem to my father. Jackson Tobias - “Tourettes in the Classroom” (session 6) Tourettes is something that needs to be more recognized in the classroom. While not as common as something like ADHD it is still a health impairment that causes issues for students in the classroom. As someone with tourettes, I have experienced this first hand and know the struggles. The point of my project is going to be ways we can accommodate tourettes more in the classroom as it is much different to most other disabilities Brooke Trujillo - “Needlestick Injury Management Outside of the Healthcare Setting” (session 3) Needlestick injuries are a potential hazard in many occupational environments. Needlesticks can lead to not only disease transmission but infection as well. A recent incident involving a Joplin City employee highlighted the lack of policy in place to prevent or treat needlestick injuries occurring on the job. In order to address this problem, I have created an educational module that explains the procedure of how to properly clean and care for a needlestick in the immediate aftermath until medical care can be obtained. This module also discusses handling of the sharp as well as some tips to avoid this type of injury with relevance to this type of job. This education may potentially reduce the risk of needlesticks, or the risk of disease transmission should a needlestick occur.
Briana Tyler - “The Need for Longer Appointment Times with Pediatric Clients” (session 5) Nurse/patient rapport plays an important part in facilitating good treatment outcomes. Research from Spain highlights the impact of the nurse-patient relationship on patient autonomy, a comparative study conducted in Australia reveals that diagnosis plays a significant role in dropout rates, and a qualitative analysis underscores the importance of evidence-based patient- centered care. An educational module was developed to be shown to administrative personnel to demonstrate the importance of allowing time to develop rapport, empowering patients, and considering various factors to improve the quality of mental health care, particularly for children and adolescents. It is hoped that this educational module will convince administration to extend the allotted time for care providers who meet with pediatric clients, facilitating greater provider/ client rapport. Hugo Vargas - “Racial Problems in College Campuses” (session 10) This study underscores the fact that racial issues on college campuses are difficult problems with a long history of inequity and division. It draws attention to how these problems still exist and have an impact on how students from various racial backgrounds view their education. Despite the romanticized perception of colleges and universities as centers of variety and enlightenment, the essay observes that these institutions frequently fail to address racial inequities and promote inclusive settings.On college campuses, racial conflicts can take many different forms, from overt discrimination to covert hostility that undermine the self assurance and feeling of community of minority racial groups. The essay emphasizes how these problems have widespread effects on academic performance as well as the mental and emotional health of those who are afflicted. Georgi Vlahov - “Ebola” (poster session) Ebola is a contagious viral disease that can be often fatal and can impact both humans and primates. The severe infection is caused by the Ebola virus, and the symptoms usually are fever-like that progress to vomiting, diarrhea, and sometimes internal and external bleeding. The Ebola virus most often spreads by contact with body fluids, infected animals, or contaminated objects and being so highly transmissionable can lead to outbreaks of the infection. Those outbreaks are hard to manage and there is ongoing research on treatments and vaccines for Ebola. Researchers are trying to develop more effective ways to fight with this hazardous disease still to this day.
