Daniel Younger-Loesing - “Education at Missouri Valley: The Importance of the Education Program” (session 23) The education program has long been a cornerstone of Missouri Valley College. The education program’s history at this college, however, is rarely discussed. Due to being commonly overlooked because of how broad education is and because people often focus on the end of an accomplishment rather than the foundational part of the accomplishment. Which has always been learning. Education has monumental effects on every topic imaginable, but the attainments often are accredited to the specific category in which it falls. The project proposed will seek to evaluate the impacts, importance, and legacy of education and how it has changed the very foundation of Missouri Valley College. As a college, Missouri Valley has a long and proud tradition of sports, education, and creating conscientious members of society. Missouri Valley College has a very deep and extensive history; much of it has been centered around education, and it is time for people to recognize the immense value of the education program.

new home– pesticides. Organophosphorus compounds, once used in nerve agents for war and terrorist activities, are commonly found in pesticides around the world and are known to cause harm to humans and other living organisms that it comes in contact with. Reaction to these chemicals is not just dangerous but lethal, yet manufacturers still feel comfortable using such chemicals in products that come in contact with food distributed to humans throughout the world. This paper will cover the chemical makeup of these compounds, their reactions in the body, and the danger this poses. Addie Wolfe & Brighid Groom - “Seasons of Adversity” (session 16) This video features two performances by the MVC Repertory Dance Ensemble from 2 separate choreographers: one is centered on addiction, the feeling of not being able to control yourself, being out of body, and out of control. This dance plays with gravity and momentum in the movement. The other is about how to say goodbye, even when the timing is unfortunate, with movement inspired by and based on birds. This dance also includes a poem written by its creator. They will both be in the Repertory Dance Showcase, Release. In both dances, the dancers face their inner battles and their connections to their identities. These choreographies highlight interactions, imitation, and subtle competition, showing how dancers adapt to one another. We call this project Seasons of Adversity. We decided this because both of the dances represent something in us that comes to light. Even though we pushed through, we still made it. In all the dances, create something altogether to create something watchful.
