Seven students participated:

  • Micah Moulder, of Seneca, S.C., a May 2024 graduate with a degree in psychology.
  • Rebecca Majorel, of Clemons, N.C., a May 2024 graduate with a degree in Christian studies.
  • Marissa DiMatteo, of Greenville, N.C., a May 2024 graduate with a degree in biology/biomedical sciences.
  • Blake Henkel, of Granite Falls, N.C., a May 2024 graduate with a degree in biology/biomedical sciences.
  • Trevor Wyatt, of Winston-Salem, N.C., a May 2024 graduate with a degree in mathematics education.
  • Paula Harvie, of Johnson City, Tenn., a May 2024 graduate with a degree in World Languages, Literature and Cultures.
  • Seip, of Salisbury, Md., a senior history major.

Seip competed with nearly 100 presenters to receive one of 18 cash prizes. The students were recognized for making the best scholarly, creative, or artistic presentations in their fields. The prizes were funded through discipline-specific endowments established by supporters of Alpha Chi. Seip was awarded $100 for his paper on German propaganda during World War I. The title was “Influencing the Home Front: How German Propaganda Posters in World War I Portrayed the War as a War of Defense Against Evil Enemies.”

The collaborative research team of Moulder, Henkel, Majorel and DiMatteo (which is required to be interdisciplinary) faced stiff competition as members presented research on how AI can be ethically used in healthcare and what we can do to uphold ethical standards as uses for AI in healthcare increase. The title of the project was 鈥淗ealing AI So It Can Heal Us: Prospects for the Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare.鈥

In addition to participating in the collaborative research competition, Moulder also presented an individual paper.
