Carlos Jiménez - “To What Extent Does Procrastination Affect Missouri Valley College Students and their Academic Performance?” (session 6) Historically, procrastination has been common among college students and related to worse academic performance, worse financial status, increased interpersonal relationship issues, reduced well-being, and worse mental and physical health. The purpose of this research study was to examine how procrastination affects Missouri Valley College (‘MVC’ henceforth) students and seek to clarify if procrastination and the general consequences derived from it apply to them. For this, a 10-question survey was sent to undergraduate MVC students. The results of the survey and the research support the initial hypothesis, as they prove that MVC college students are often procrastinators. Overall, procrastination affects MVC students similarly to how it affects other students and people in general, according to different studies. The results of this study are also a source of information for possible future positive changes or improvements in Missouri Valley College. Beni Kabongo, “Belight” (session 15) Technology advancements have made it simpler than ever for artists to have greater control and power to edit and re-edit. My ability to modify and change almost everything I do fosters creativity and a curiosity about the world. similar to picking up a new language When you get more comfortable with the instruments, though, you might be able to express your ideas more. I decided on the word "Belight" to demonstrate my wide range of ingenuity and interest in the digital realm. As a result of technology, design and art have evolved and expressed themselves with new features and tools in ways that one would never have predicted. With the use of software like indesign, illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects, work that was originally done by pencil can now take on more abstract elements.

In fact, he is often recognized as one of the brightest dogs people have met. Born in Louisiana on March 10, 1925, Jim was considered the runt of a litter of Llewellin Setters. Purchased at half-price by the Van Arsdale family, Jim showed an extraordinary ability to understand commands by the Van Arsdale’s. What makes Jim stand out among other dogs is the fact that he understood commands, and then some. The purpose of this presentation is to share a story that often goes unnoticed, and to tell why he was no ordinary dog. Tess Kinne - “Human>Athlete” (poster session) Athletics play a huge role in every child's life bringing them a competitive edge and happiness. As they choose to play sports in high school, only 1% of all high school athletes go on to play sports in college. Being a college student-athlete comes with many tasks that can be overwhelming. I will be diving into why college athletes struggle with their mental health, the stigma behind that, why burnout can lead to many mental health challenges for these athletes, and the identity crisis that lies ahead.
