The students compete in teams of 2-3 people. This is organized in a similar way to the traditional spelling bee. Teams will be evaluating integrals
that are projected on a screen. If a team incorrectly evaluates an integral, the team is eliminated from the competition. After the elimination
rounds, we will hold the lightning rounds. The first ‘y’ many teams to correctly evaluate the given integrals will proceed to the next round. We do
this until there is a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place team. First, second, and third place teams will receive math t-shirts.

The purpose of the study was to explore the way in which Resident Assistants make meaning of their first year in the position. Second and Third
Year Resident Assistants from different living areas at the University of Dayton were interviewed about their first year as a Resident Assistant. The
use of returning Resident Assistants was based on the Subject-Object Shift Theory by Kegan (1994). Each Resident Assistant was asked to reflect
on how s/he developed as a person and as a Resident Assistant over their first year. The Resident Assistant position proved to be a developmental
experience in the interpersonal, intrapersonal and cognitive dimensions of the students experiencing it. The tools of interview summary and
thematic analysis were used to explain the common experience of the participants.

The purpose of this research was to gain an understanding of parent/guardian views on literacy and to gain information on how high quality afterschool
programs can impact literacy development. After-school programs and facilities can have a positive impact on children who attend on a
daily basis. This research project utilized focus groups at a high quality after-school facility, Adventure Central in Dayton, to learn more about the
needs and desires that the parents would want. The focus groups consisted of parents who have children attending the community based program
two times per week. The after-school facility is a partnership with Ohio State University Extension, 4-H, and Five Rivers MetroParks. The focus is
positive youth development and utilizing nature and science to enhance young childrenâs lives.
