Associate Professor of Mathematics Therese Shelton, with co-authors Bonnie Henderson ’18 and Michael Gebhardt ’16, published a chapter, “Acrobatics in a Parametric Arena,” in Mathematics Research for the Beginning Student. The volume is part of the book series, Foundation for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics (FURM), which is devoted to increasing access to undergraduate research opportunities. Parts of Gebhardt’s and Henderson’s Mathematics capstone projects supervised by Shelton were included in this chapter. Professor of Kinesiology Scott McLean aided in data collection from video capture software generated by Henderson’s juggling of flower sticks in the fall of 2017. Research Assistants for this project included E. Wilson Cook ’22, Audrey Schumacher ’23, and Emily Thompson ’22

Professor of Kinesiology Scott McLean presented as a poster research titled “Effect of Block Design on Rotational Characteristics of a Swim Start” at the 2022 International Society of Biomechanics in Sports Annual Conference, held July 19–23 in Liverpool, England. He conducted the research with his SCOPE students, Sam Anderson ’23, Riley Barlage ’23, and C. P. Shaulis ’22.

Professor of Kinesiology Scott McLean and his SCOPE research students—C. P. Shaulis ’22, Sam Anderson ’23, and Riley Barlage ’23—presented their research titled “Lower Extremity Muscle Activity When Walking on a Non-Motorized Treadmill” at the 2022 American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting and World Congress, held May 31–June 4 in San Diego, California.

Professor of Kinesiology Scott McLean presented a keynote address titled “Effectively Performing Competitive Swim Starts: Managing Body Rotation (and Some Other Things)” at the International Swim Coaches Association’s 9th Annual Hall of Fame Coaches Summit in Clearwater, Fla. This talk focused on recent SCOPE work completed with kinesiology major Peter Robinson, class of 2019, who attended the meeting, and kinesiology majors Alek Argueta and Dylan Neumann, both class of 2021.
