Messages, Magic, and Misalignment: Interpreting Disney’s Leadership Communication Through the Leadership Archetypes of Wicked | In 2022, The Walt Disney Company faced widespread criticism for its initially cautious response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, commonly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. As a brand known for storytelling which features inclusion, Disney’s measured communication prompted questions regarding leadership authenticity, values alignment, and stakeholder trust. This research examines audience interpretations of Disney’s leadership communication during the controversy using a narrative leadership framework inspired by Wicked. The study maps three leadership archetypes to the Disney case: transformational leadership (Elphaba), symbolic leadership (Glinda), and authoritarian leadership (the Wizard). These archetypes offer a clear interpretive lens for analyzing perceptions of leadership communication strategies during the crisis. Using a mixed methods exploratory sequential design, the study combines qualitative coding of public social media discourse across platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, with narrative analysis of key scenes from the Wicked films. These data sources enable examination of stakeholder interpretations of Disney’s communication and alignment with various leadership communication styles. Additionally, a pilot survey was developed to explore stakeholder perceptions of leadership authenticity, communication timing, and values alignment. Despite limited early responses, the survey provides an exploratory foundation for future research. By integrating leadership theory with cultural narrative analysis, this research demonstrates how storytelling frameworks can illuminate complex organizational communication challenges and provides insights for leaders navigating politically sensitive issues while maintaining credibility and stakeholder trust. |

Ideal Body Weight Dosing of Dexmedetomidine | Dexmedetomidine is an α₂-adrenergic agonist used widely in anesthesia for its analgesic, sympatholytic, and recovery-enhancing properties. Despite its benefits, considerable variation exists in provider dosing practices, limiting consistency in patient outcomes. Current evidence suggests that ideal body weight (IBW)–based bolus dosing provides a more standardized and clinically effective approach, improving postoperative pain control, decreasing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and reducing delirium in laparoscopic surgical populations. This project was guided by the PICO question: Do patients undergoing elective laparoscopic procedures who receive IBW-based bolus doses of dexmedetomidine, compared with prior non-standardized dosing practices, have better recovery experiences? Using a pre–post survey design, this practice improvement project evaluated anesthesia providers’ knowledge, attitudes, and dosing methods before and after viewing an educational flyer on IBW-based dexmedetomidine dosing. Anesthesia providers at four hospitals were invited to participate voluntarily. Survey responses demonstrated an increased likelihood of using IBW- based dosing, greater recognition of key benefits, and a reduction in perceived barriers to dexmedetomidine use. |

Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice | Lauren and Caela are doctoral nurse anesthesia students graduating in May. Lauren has a strong interest in obstetric anesthesia and multimodal anesthetic management. Caela’s clinical interests include pediatric and cardiac anesthesia, as well as multimodal pain management. Together, they are committed to advancing evidence-based anesthesia practice and improving perioperative patient outcomes through research and clinical excellence. | Preoperative Warming Influence within the Perioperative Period | Unintended perioperative hypothermia, defined as a core temperature below 36°C, remains a persistent issue in anesthesia practice and is associated with increased surgical complications, prolonged recovery, and decreased patient satisfaction. Evidence strongly supports the use of preoperative forced-air warming as an effective and safe method to maintain normothermia during surgery. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to increase anesthesia providers’ knowledge and intent to implement prewarming practices through an educational intervention. An evidence-based educational session was delivered to anesthesia providers at a community hospital in southeastern Alabama. The session summarized the physiologic rationale and literature supporting prewarming for at least ten minutes before induction of anesthesia. Post-education surveys assessed provider perceptions, knowledge gained, and willingness to adopt prewarming practices. |

The client is an energetic girl who loves to play pretend, play with slime, color, and play on the playground. She has previously demonstrated significant progress with manding via pointing and consistently engages in spontaneous points for preferred items or locations. Her current programming targets early learner skills such as motor imitation, early echoic skills, and tacting common items. Throughout sessions at ECAP, clinicians have observed that she variably attempts to repeat words or approximations of words. Therefore, clinicians elected to introduce an Initial Manding and Tacting via Vocals protocol. This program intended to capitalize on her vocal attempts and continue to introduce her to a variety of words to add to her verbal repertoire. The acquisition of vocal manding and tacting may strengthen her communication repertoire by increasing opportunities for and rates of vocal speech sound production over time. Since the implementation of this program the client has shown significant progress with the rate per hour of words emitted and the number of different spontaneous and independent words emitted. | Zoe Bowden | FSU | Graduate- ABA | zcb25a@fsu.edu | Applied Behavior Analysis | Complete | Research Symposium.pdf301.71 KB

Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) | Corey and Brendan are DNAP students excited to graduate and begin the next chapter of their careers in nurse anesthesia. | Dexamethasone in Diabetic Surgical Patients: An Educational Intervention to Enhance Adherence to PONV Guidelines | Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remain significant contributors to delayed recovery, prolonged post anesthesia care unit (PACU) stays, and reduces patient satisfaction. Evidence-based guidelines recommend dexamethasone as part of a multimodal PONV prevention strategy, yet many anesthesia providers remain hesitant to use it in diabetic patients due to concerns about hyperglycemia and surgical site infection (SSI). This quality improvement project sought to address these concerns through targeted education and will measure the success of the intervention by evaluating changes in provider perceptions. The PICO question was: In adult general surgical patients with diabetes (P), compared to non-diabetic patients (C), are those treated prophylactically for PONV (I) less likely to receive IV dexamethasone (O)? A pre and post educational intervention was conducted at a large tertiary hospital in the southeastern United States. Evidence-based posters summarizing current dexamethasone recommendations were displayed in high-traffic operating room areas. Pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed provider concerns, baseline practices, and likelihood of using dexamethasone in diabetic patients; responses were analyzed descriptively. Seventeen anesthesia providers completed both surveys. Results showed a 16.2% reduction in concern about hyperglycemia and a 14.7% reduction in concern about SSI after dexamethasone use, along with a small (1.18%) increase in reported likelihood of administering dexamethasone to diabetic patients. Although changes in attitudes were modest, the reduction in perceived risks indicates a positive shift toward evidence-based practice. These findings support continued education on PONV guidelines and suggest dexamethasone remains an appropriate option for diabetic patients when routine postoperative glucose monitoring is in place. |

AP Research | My name is Ivy Dixon, and I am a high school student currently enrolled in AP Research. My research focuses on how visual branding influences perceptions, specifically examining how the presence of a well-known logo compared to a generic logo affects students’ judgments. Through this project, I have developed skills in research design, data collection, and analysis while exploring how everyday visuals can shape opinions and decision-making. This experience has strengthened my interest in understanding human behavior and the impact of media and marketing on society. |
The Effect of Coffee Branding on High School Students’ Perceptions of Quality | This study examines how visual branding influences high school students’ perceptions of coffee quality based on appearance alone. Specifically, the research compares student responses to an image of coffee labeled with a well-known Starbucks logo versus an identical image labeled with a generic coffee logo. Participants were high school students who completed a visual-only survey in which they rated perceived coffee quality without tasting the product. By isolating branding as the independent variable, the study aimed to determine whether brand recognition affects judgments of quality. The findings suggest that recognizable branding plays a significant role in shaping perceptions, even when no physical differences in the product are present. This research highlights the impact of marketing and visual cues on consumer perception and decision-making among adolescents. |

Theology | Hi my name is Dylan Zeigler, I am a senior at J.R. Arnold High School. To better prepare myself for my aspirations I have been studying theology for several years now. In doing this I found that I enjoy the practical side of theology and wanted to do research on that, which is what lead me to investigate how care methods overlap in a clinical setting. | The Overlap of Theology and Psychology | This research covers the overlap of theology and psychology in a clinical setting to encourage the collaboration and cross-education of both fields. Data was collected from chaplains who, in their career use both psychology and theology when dealing with patients. It was collected through a survey sent out to the Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital system and analyzed the lived experience and personal feelings of the chaplains surveyed. The means by which data was processed was by the use of a hermeneutic analysis of their experiences and their personal feelings of the integration, which was analyzed from a statistical approach to identify what the overall study believed. I found that although there is significant overlap between the field's methods and how the chaplains feel regarding the two, they still maintain significant differences in practices. While the methods that pertain to providing comfort or processing information remain similar in both fields, each has its limit before they are beyond the scope of their office. This is significant because it shows that there is a significant overlap between the fields, which would benefit from further interdisciplinary education, which could produce more counselors going forward who can look at things from both a psychological perspective along with that of a theological perspective. |

Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice | Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia (DNAP) students with diverse nursing backgrounds and substantial experience in high-acuity critical care settings. United by a commitment to excellence in anesthesia practice, our academic and clinical interests focus on improving patient outcomes, advancing nurse anesthesia education, and contributing meaningfully to the profession. | Reducing Spinal-Induced Hypotension in Cesarean Sections with Ondansetron | The use of spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery is widespread due to its simplicity and reliability. Though generally considered a safe technique, hypotension is the most common complication that anesthesia providers face when administering spinal anesthetics to parturients. In this population, hypotension is partly attributed to a cardioinhibitory response called the Bezhold-Jarish reflex which, evidence suggests, may be attenuated by non-vasoactive medications such as ondansetron. This project aims to build upon the foundational work of past initiatives and disseminate evidence-based research to improve the timing and administration of ondansetron prior to cesarean delivery to promote both maternal and fetal safety. Through the PICO framework: Do parturients receiving a spinal for cesarean delivery (P) that receive ondansetron before block onset (I) compared to after block onset (C) have reduced incidence of hypotension (O)? a literature search and review informed the development of educational brochures which were distributed to anesthesia providers at a single hospital setting. Prior to the introduction of the brochure, pre-intervention surveys indicated that 73% of anesthesia providers administered ondansetron prior to onset of spinal anesthesia. After educational materials were distributed, post-intervention surveys showed that 100% of providers administered ondansetron prior to spinal administration. The findings suggest that dissemination of knowledge may be an effective strategy in the enhancement of anesthesia care and may contribute to compliance with best practices. These results are, however, limited by the single-center design and small sample size. | Lonnie W.

Improving Provider Knowledge and Utilization of Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine as an Analgesic Adjunct to Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Sections | Cesarean delivery commonly relies on spinal anesthesia, which may provide incomplete visceral analgesia and often requires opioid adjuncts associated with adverse effects. Intrathecal dexmedetomidine is a promising non-opioid alternative. This quality improvement project evaluated whether targeted education and improved access increased CRNA knowledge, confidence, and utilization. Following the intervention, weekly use increased from 25% to 100%, provider knowledge improved, opioid requirements decreased, spinal block onset was faster and duration prolonged, maternal comfort improved, and side effects were minimal. These findings support intrathecal dexmedetomidine as a safe, effective opioid-sparing spinal adjuvant. Keywords: dexmedetomidine, intrathecal, spinal, analgesia, adjunct, cesarean section |

Psychology | Hi I'm Hannah, I am a junior at Arnold High School. My research explores the relationship between age of first social media exposure and anxiety levels in high school students. I find this topic interesting because I think it is fascinating how different families have different rules regarding cell phones, social media, etc. | The Relationship Between Age of First Social media Exposure and Anxiety Levels in High School Students | Social media use is common among adolescents, but early exposure may affect mental health. This study examines the relationship between the age of first social media use and anxiety levels in high school students. Using anonymous surveys, students will report the age they began using social media and complete the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) to measure anxiety. The study analyzes whether earlier exposure is associated with higher anxiety levels. Findings may help parents, educators, and schools promote healthier social media habits its and support student mental well-being. | Doedy Deal | Arnold High School | AP Research | dealdm@bay.k12.fl.us | Social Media, Anxiety, High School Students | Exploratory (the research question has been identified and design of approach is outlined) | No | 2026 | 5th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, April 17, 2025 | https://pc.fsu.edu/student-research/symposium/research-symposium-program-portal?element_parents=elements/student_photo&ajax_form=1&_wrapper_format=drupal_ajax&token=5xcjR60_bL4arnJMmQj9qwqntTecksd8K6Mba-m4b1Y | ||||||

Esophageal vs Nasal Temperature Probes: A Quality Improvement Initiative to Reduce Intraoperative Hypothermia | Unintended intraoperative hypothermia is a frequent anesthesia-related complication associated with delayed drug metabolism, coagulopathy, and increased surgical site infections. Accurate core temperature monitoring is essential for prevention, yet probe selection significantly influences measurement reliability. Evidence supports esophageal temperature probes as a more accurate reflection of core body temperature compared to nasopharyngeal probes, offering earlier detection of hypothermia and improved thermal management. This quality improvement project aimed to evaluate whether an educational intervention promoting the use of esophageal temperature probes among anesthesia providers would reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia in adult surgical patients receiving general anesthesia. Conducted at a large community hospital in northeast Florida, the initiative included a pre- and post-intervention survey, an educational handout summarizing American Society of Anesthesiologists temperature monitoring standards, laminated operating room reminders, and email communications. Retrospective data were analyzed using the Epic SlicerDicer tool to compare probe utilization and hypothermia incidence (defined as <35.5 °C) before and after the intervention. Following education, anesthesia provider awareness of esophageal probe accuracy increased from 40% to 45%, and perceived benefit rose from 56% to 65%. Esophageal probe use increased by 59% from 17 to 27 cases, while nasopharyngeal probe use increased by 218% from 27 to 86 cases. Although knowledge improved, practice patterns remained largely unchanged due to unclear probe selection criteria, limited in-person training, and documentation inconsistencies. These findings suggest that education alone may not sustain behavioral change; future initiatives should incorporate live training, clear criteria, and ongoing feedback. | Gerard Hogan | College of Applied Studies | Nurse Anesthesia Practice | ghogan@pc.fsu.edu | intraoperative hypothermia, esophageal temperature probe, nasopharyngeal temperature probe | Complete |

Incorporation of Demonstration Videos into the Nurse Anesthesia Simulation Lab Curriculum | Simulation-based education is foundational in nurse anesthesia training, yet variability in student preparation can affect performance during high-stakes assessments. Instructional videos designed with cognitive learning principles offer a way to standardize preparation and improve learner outcomes. This doctoral project asked the question —In nurse anesthesia students undergoing simulation lab training (P), does watching an instructional video beforehand (I), compared to no video preparation (C), lead students to believe that the video improves their simulation performance (O)? To answer this question, we evaluated whether access to a custom-designed instructional video before a simulation lab improved second-year student registered nurse anesthetists’ (SRNAs) perceived preparedness, confidence, and procedural recall during a complex emergence scenario. A pre–post intervention design was used. SRNAs first completed a “Complicated Induction” simulation without preparatory video and then completed a pre-intervention survey assessing confidence and recall. Two weeks later, the same cohort completed a “Complicated Emergence” simulation after viewing a video developed using Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning. A post-intervention survey assessed the same metrics and asked about the perceived impact of the video. Students reported improved confidence, clarity, and preparedness after the video-enhanced simulation. Most participants believed the video contributed positively to their performance. These findings are consistent with existing literature demonstrating that multimedia instruction, when designed to manage cognitive load and enhance engagement, improves learning outcomes. Instructional videos that are theory-informed and delivered “just-in-time” represent a scalable, low-cost strategy to enhance simulation preparation in nurse anesthesia education. | Dr. R.

Led by Project Manager and Geotechnical Engineer Bradyn Luna, the project team—including Environmental/Hydraulic Engineer Justin Haber, Structural Engineer Eduardo Vasquez, and Transportation Engineer Genna Patterson—will design a 2-story, 318-vehicle parking garage on the existing 7-acre site. The design will address the site's natural slope towards an adjacent creek with a drainage system incorporating inlets, piping, and a 15,000 sq ft, 4.5 ft deep pond, sized to accommodate runoff from both the garage and the hotel (estimated 100,000 sq ft impervious area). Geotechnical investigations, including existing boring data, will inform foundation design, considering shallow spread footings and deep foundations due to sandy soils extending to 70 feet. The garage structure, anticipated to be approximately 55,930 sq ft, will utilize reinforced concrete slabs, double T-beams and columns. Traffic engineering, following Florida standards, will optimize internal circulation and ensure safe access to Thomas Drive, including turn lanes, signage, crosswalks, and sidewalks. To achieve this, we are utilizing design/drafting software such as Civil3D, OpenRoads and ICPR.
