Camden Jackson - “Understanding Cholera” (Poster Session I) This poster explores the disease cholera, also known as the blue death. Cholera is a severe water-borne disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. To begin with, it provides an overview of the disease, how it was discovered, and explains the process of transmission through contaminated water. The poster examines the severe symptoms associated with this disease, such as watery stool, vomiting, muscle weakness, and severe dehydration. While also inspecting the long history of cholera pandemics and how we have learned from them to shape our global health knowledge now. Sources of current cholera outbreaks are discussed, mainly in the continents of Asia, Africa, and South America. These continents struggle with current outbreaks due to a lack of sanitation and poor access to clean drinking water. To conclude, the poster discusses the prevention and treatment of cholera, as well as the importance of improving water infrastructure in impoverished countries to cut down on cholera’s impact worldwide. Toni Jarreau & Jordan Pasbrig - “Structure to Safety” (Poster Session I) Our title will be Structure to Safety. We apply Organic Chemistry I fundamentals—functional groups, pKa/ionization, resonance/inductive effects, stereochemistry, polarity (logP/ logD), and elementary mechanisms (SN1/SN2/E1/E2, additions, redox, hydrolysis) to explain how veterinary drugs work and why responses differ across the species. Using exemplar antibiotics, analgesics/anti-inflammatories, and antiparasitics, my partner and I will annotate structures, locate metabolic “hot spots,” and predict Phase I/II pathways alongside absorption, distribution, and clearance. This structure → mechanism → metabolism → clinical decision framework forecasts efficacy, duration, toxicity, and resistance risks and supports stewardship. Deliverables—annotated structures, mechanism-to-metabolism maps, and comparative ADME/safety tables—translate simple chemical features into dosing and formulation guidance grounded in first principles rather than memorization. My partner and I will display all of these things on our poster, while also speaking on the topics stated above to anyone who may ask. Jakari Johnson - see Jules Garret, “Game Day Behind the Scene” (Session 17) Brianne Jones - “An Education Module About How Hourly Rounding Can Reduce Patient Falls During Hospital Stays in Older Adults” (Session 23) Patient falls are one of the most common adverse events in acute care hospitals, leading to increased length of stay, injury, morbidity, and healthcare costs. The Joint Commission identifies fall prevention as a national patient safety goal. Traditional fall prevention strategies include bed alarms, nonslip socks, and patient education. Evidence has suggested that structured nursing interventions, such as hourly rounding, may be more effective in preventing falls by proactively meeting patient needs and reducing unassisted ambulation. Implementing an education module will educate staff on the importance of hourly rounding and help reduce the occurrence of falls in older adults during their hospital stay, while increasing staff knowledge about best practices on reducing falls.
Kaden Khammanivong - “Experiences of Racism and Opinions about Critical Race Theory in College Students” (Poster Session III) The study conducted is to find why opinions on critical race theory may vary among college students based on experiences with racism. There have been multiple research studies speaking about how the government is trying to censor critical race theory by promoting “anti-CRT” measures targeting K-12 schools” (Alexander, Baldwin Clark, Reindhart, & Zatz, 2023, pg. 5). This is showing how people are trying to stop CRT from being taught to the youth. Critical Race theory (CRT) is the idea that the unjust system we have as a society in government and business fields should be equal opportunities for all people. This study evaluates individuals’ experiences with racism or situations of this matter, asking questions like where it happened, how it has affected their opinion on other matters, and how it affected them mentally. There is also a section where students who did not experience these situations give input on secondhand experiences of the same matter. There will be an online survey to gather that data from the questions. The hypothesis is that students who may have experienced racism have stronger opinions agreeing with critical race theory than the students who may not have had those same experiences. Braylon King - see Jules Garret, “Game Day Behind the Scene” (Session 17) Evans Kiptoo - “Finding Identity Through Sports” (Session 17) This presentation talks about the relationship of sports and cultural identity through experiences from a Kenyan track and cross country runner in the U.S. collegiate sports and Sherman Alexie’s story “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven.” In the two scenarios, there is a great focus on navigating the new environment while keeping pride and adaptability. It was found that being successful athletically does not erase identity, but it keeps strengthening it. The author states that growing up in Kenya, discipline, endurance, and hard work had always shaped their approach towards sports, which reflects cultural values. Track and cross country, in relation to Alexie’s basketball, serve as a ground for expressing our identity, sense of belonging, and building community cohesion, all of which illustrate the deep connection between cultural identity and sports. Erin Klasing - see Kellyce Brookes, “Connections of Volleyball” (Poster Session III) Kannon Kover - see Kennedy Pittman, “Artificially Enhanced: Exploring AI in the Classroom Through Debate” (Session 20) Julius Krueger, Elijah Hynes, & Victor Parisi - “Foreign Exchange Markets and Business – A Quick Overview” (Session 14) You are happily invited to join us in this small deep dive into the Currencies Market. This short presentation is based on additional research done for Finance 2, taught by Milena Simic. We dove deeper into Foreign Exchange Markets or short Forex Market. While providing an overview over what it actually is, we focused heavily on business’ adaptation to dealing with forex. This is particularly important for multinational companies, which in times of globalization deal with many various currencies. This presents a huge risk to companies so understanding how to deal with
