affecting other animal populations. Racoons negatively affect human health, agriculture and the ecosystem. Controlling and maintaining the racoon population will be difficult but can be done. Huber Arana - “Stimulant Addiction in College Students” (session 18) As prescription stimulants become more common on college campuses, concerns have been raised about the abuse of these drugs by college students. Adderall can be easily accessible through a prescription which means almost anyone can get it. There may be different solutions to these issues but it is not talked about enough and there is still not enough information about how these prescriptions can fully affect students in the long run. Estimates are that up to 20% of college students abuse prescription stimulants, most often by ingesting medications not prescribed to them. This paper describes different studies on college students of different age groups, genders, and the statistics of their studies.

Jessica Arellano - “Incarcerated Parents and Deviant Children” (session 12) Children are easily influenced by everything they see and hear. Their parents have the most impact on their children and it’s very common for children to follow the footsteps of their parents whether that be good or bad. In this study, I conducted an analysis on the relationship between criminal/incarcerated parents and if their children were deviant, struggled, or faced any hardship. Trista Arnold - “Christian Perspective onWar and Peace” (session 13) This project explores the different Christian views on war. For clarification, the difference between several denominations will be explored, such as Catholicism, Lutheran, and Baptist, (the main denominations in Missouri), and Orthodoxy (the main denominations in both Russia and Ukraine). With this information and further research, this presentation looks into each branch’s reaction to the current war in Ukraine and how each of them sees it, drawing a conclusion on how religious groups know how to handle conflict.
