The research may have been performed as part of a course, an Honors Research Fellowship, or an independent project conducted with a faculty mentor. Abstracts for all poster presentations are included in this booklet and are listed in alphabetical order based on the presenting author’s last name. The Symposium was initiated in 2013 through a generous grant from the UT Board of Fellows. Further financial support from the Office of the Dean of CNHS, the Department of Biology and Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics is also acknowledged. Finally, the organizers would like to thank all presenters, faculty mentors, and faculty judges for their participation in this event.Item Adeline And The Cyborg(Department of Film, Animation and New Media (FMX), The University of Tampa, 2023-05-05) Sam, Hannah; Dr. Dana PlaysOn a dystopic decaying Earth, an elderly woman’s routined survival takes a turn when a cyborg crashes by her home.Item The Adventures of Tusime(Department of Film, Animation and New Media (FMX), The University of Tampa, 2021-05) Jacques, Jordan; Marcio GoncalvesAn African woman that grew up gets in a conversation with her friend about the real meaning of joy and how you don't need to find it through things.

A particular population of the lined seahorse, Hippocampus erectus, is found in an isolated salt water lake, Sweetings Pond, on the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas. This ecosystem provided a unique opportunity to study the space use of a high density seahorse population in its natural environment. Examination of clustering patterns across time of day, aggregations by size and sex, habitat impact by season, and predator influence on overall spatial distribution were conducted. These questions were analyzed and tested for significance via geographic mapping utilizing nearest neighbor analysis, hot-spot analysis, and the buffering tool. It was concluded that this population of seahorses forms clusters during the nighttime compared to uniform dispersal seen during the daytime. The average seahorse total body length increased with increasing depth regardless of sex. This population is also positively correlated with algae cover in both the wet and dry seasons and display active avoidance of potential predators. Sweetings Pond provided the ideal conditions to be able to study a population in its natural environment. The unprecedented conclusions drawn from this field study provide critical information regarding the natural ecology, behavior, and future conservation efforts of this vulnerable seahorse species.Item Analyzing Correlations Between Post-Communist States and Sustaining Collectivist and Individual Sociopolitical Thought(2019-04-29) Weber, Jack; Denis ReyThis paper examines the relationship between individual and collective thought on most communist states.

Results include observations and recommendations from authors of BTS books and filmmakers.Item Black Bodies(Department of Film, Animation and New Media (FMX), The University of Tampa, 2019-12-12) Phillips, OliviaCreated for FMX460 under the direction of Professor Dana Plays.Item Break My Heart, Please(Department of Film, Animation and New Media (FMX), The University of Tampa, 2023-05-05) Durbin, Tiffany; Dr. Dana PlaysAfter a worn-out heartbreak, Nadine, fueled by the need for inspiration, is determined to find another man who can break her heart.

Miller De Rutté, PhD (chair); L. Michael Carastro, PhD; Ann H. Williams, PhDWhile scientific knowledge is fundamental to the world of medicine, a holistic human approach and bedside manner are fundamental to patient care as a physician. Current premedical (premed) requirements in the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) American-Accredited Schools in the United States and Puerto Rico are not unanimously reflective of the same approaches. The premed world is growing to focus on students demonstrating competency in both scientific and humanistic requirements as opposed to extensive knowledge in only the core sciences. This research project investigates the current, required and recommended premed curriculum across all 155 AAMC American- Accredited Schools in the United States and Puerto Rico. The results are indicative of a broadening of open-ended competency requirements to demonstrate readiness of undergraduate students for medical school.Item Bunker Hill: The Greenest Winery in America(Department of Film, Animation and New Media (FMX), The University of Tampa, 2020-05) Avery, DylanBunker Hill Vineyard and Winery is the most environmentally-conscious vineyard and winery in the United States.
