McKenna Beeler - “Emotional Intelligence's Relationship to Burnout Among Collegiate Athletes Participating in Team Sports” (poster session) There have been several studies conducted regarding the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Athlete Burnout (AB) (Defreese & Barczak, 2017; Popovych et al., 2022; Saadati et al., 2014). However, these studies have often been neglected due to the growing interest of each topic individually. Those that have been conducted concluded that EI could potentially be a contributor to an athlete’s mental health, including AB. Therefore, to further understand this relationship, several collegiate student-athletes who participate in team sports were surveyed. The participants’ EI level was assessed. In order to determine a correlation, the results from the EI survey were compared to the participants’ level, if any, of AB. The results of this survey will be concluded and presented in due time. McKenna Beeler , Isabela Regalado, Patricia Seller, Riley Cox, & Javier García Oubina Merino - “Athletic Department Internship Spring 2023 - Group A” (session 11) Throughout the course of the Spring 2023, an opportunity arose for several students to pursue an internship with the athletic department here at Missouri Valley. As management majors (with a sports emphasis), we were lucky enough to be granted this opportunity. Several duties have been assigned to us in order for us to completely understand what all goes on within the athletic department. These duties included: developing and implementing plans to increase attendance at MVC Athletic Events and to increase social media followers on various platforms, create and execute marketing plans for various athletic events prior to, during and post events, and researching, planning, and executing effective promotional events suitable for MVC Athletic Events. Suyana Bhandari, “Mental and Physical Health Challenges of MVC International Students” (session 14) This research project asks what role the college plays in the health of international students and how do they deal with the challenges of homesickness, loneliness, and nutrition on the MVC campus? The unfamiliar food served in the dining hall, homesickness, and loneliness are some of the challenges that they face. Making a good group of friends in college, trying to enjoy studying and practicing rather than taking it as work, and participating in social activities hosted by college can help to overcome these problems. MVC can improve the meal plan by thinking about international students and international clubs should host more activities for them to feel a homely environment. Abbey Billington - “Does Mental Illness Cause False Confessions for Crimes?” (poster session) I have researched whether mental illness causes people to false confess to a crime. This research shows studies done, history of false confessions and different data sets. Austin Bohlen - “Passing the Torch” (session 2) With MVC President Bonnie Humphrey retiring, I want to sit down and discuss her career here at Missouri Valley and reflect on her time as president. I also will speak to president-elect Joe Parisi to learn about his journey at Missouri Valley College as well. This will serve as a short interview-heavy documentary to help the audience learn a little more about the great leaders at Missouri Valley College.
