Why Participating in a Professional Conference Should be Required

Sport Management is a growing degree choice for up and coming professionals. In this industry, you gain experiences and are open to new opportunities by establishing a network of professionals to get you to the sport/business industry. It is not just, about what you know. It can come down to whom you know. The why, the how, insights in to the next steps will be discussed and the advantages of attending a professional conference. What is the benefit can do for you.

Working Towards Global Goals by Partnering with Local Community Organizations through the Semester of Service Program
Victoria Boehlert-Somohano, Mary Charleton, Dana Kieft, Kayla Kingston, Michelle Smith, Carter Spires
Students in the Spring 2020 Semester of Service program are currently taking a sabbatical from traditional courses and working full-time with a local community organization. During this presentation, students will share more about the work they are doing at their placement sites and how the work of those organizations are contributing to the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Come hear more about the work being done at Adventure Center, ABLE Law, Brunner Literacy, County Corps, Dayton Children's Hospital, the Dakota Center, the Dayton Foodbank, and Homefull.

World Development Applied Locally
Ryan Darnell Scott
Working on this project has given me a better understanding of how human rights work can fit into our daily lives. Very often we think of human rights or international treaties as something that is above us; we do not directly see how they shape the world around us. Through this project, I have not only learned how these entities play into my life as a student in Dayton, Ohio, but I have also learned how they can be used to mobilize communities through comprehensive advocacy plans. Coming out of this experience, I now see the connection between international work and local efforts and have a better understanding of the role I can play in shaping my community for the better.

"You Don't Understand... It's Not About Virginity": Sexual Markets, Identity Construction, and Violent Masculinity on an Incel Forum Board.
Josh Segalewitz
The manosphere refers to the online collection of antifeminists and men’s rights activists. It represents one way technology allows for interactions in new, digital social networks. Incels, short for involuntary celibates, interact in this space and have been labeled as extreme misogynists, white supremacists, and domestic terrorists. I engage with popular sociological theories of masculinity (including hegemonic, hybrid, and inclusive masculinities) to analyze dominant discourses on the website incels.is. The data for this project include comments from 100 threads randomly sampled from 4,532 total threads posted in 2018. Through grounded coding methodology, I identify the importance of navigating threatened masculinity online, particularly with respect to sexuality. Further, I find that incel ideology rests on the creation of sexual hierarchies that emphasize perceived attractiveness. Finally, I explore the debates within this space over who is able to claim membership and how borders of the space are policed. In its entirety, this study reveals how marginalized men may respond to and reproduce gendered hierarchies.

ω1, the First Uncountable Ordinal
Nick Kendall Gonano
This poster serves to highlight several of the properties of ω1, the first uncountable ordinal. Several of the more interesting properties are presented, including those of functions from the first uncountable ordinal into the real numbers. Key to this presentation is the definition of an ordinal: an ordinal n is the set of all numbers less than n, starting at 0. For example, the number 3 is an ordinal composed of the numbers {0, 1, 2}. Also important is the definition of countable: a countable set has the same number of elements as omega, which one should note is very different than ω1. An additional definition to note is that of a well-ordered set. These sets are nonempty and have a least element. Closed and unbounded subsets, hereafter referred to as cub sets, have the properties that all sequences in the set converge to an element of the set, and also that there is no upper bound to the set. Stationary subsets of ω1 are those that, intersected with every cub set in ω1, have a nonempty intersection. This poster will also cover some of the differences between ω1 and the real numbers.
