BGSU Emergency Management Plan
Full text linkThis project is about the complications that Bowling Green State University (BGSU) would encounter if a tornado were to occur. This report discusses the complications before, during, and after the natural disaster. This report was achieved through knowledge that was obtained from an emergency management professional development course by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Identifying Factors Associated with Sleep Disorders and Treatment Avoidance among Collegiate Student-Athletes
Full text linkIntroduction: Mental health concerns among collegiate students-athletes are exacerbated by poor sleep, and this population experiences elevated risk for irregular sleep patterns and associated sleep disorders. Interventions aimed at early identification of student-athletes experiencing sleep disorders and guiding them to treatment can contribute to improved mental health in this group. The present study’s objective was to clarify risk-factors associated with increased likelihood of sleep disorders and treatment avoidance in student-athletes. Methods: Data were self-reported survey responses related to sleep disorders, from US college/university varsity athletes (n=51,882) completing the 2011-2019 National College Health Assessments (NCHA). Outcomes: The primary outcomes that we examined were feeling exhausted, sleep disorder diagnoses, and the secondary outcome we examined was related treatment. Risk factors: The primary risk factors that we examined were year in school, gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, school type, international student status, history of mental health treatment, receiving information on sleep disorders, and poor sleep impeding academic performance. Results: Over 75% of student-athletes reported feeling exhausted in the past year, whereas 3.8% reported a sleep disorder diagnosis, and only 2.2% received treatment. Gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, school type, and history of mental health treatment were significant predictors of the symptom and of sleep disorder diagnoses, but only history of mental health treatment was a predictor of receiving concurrent sleep disorder treatment. Discussion: While the majority of student-athletes reported feeling exhausted, few were diagnosed with sleep disorders and even fewer received treatment. Several factors affected risk for poor sleep or probability of receiving treatment. Healthcare professionals working with student-athletes can apply this information to screen for, and help treat, individuals at elevated risk for disordered sleep
Water Orientation Skills and Basic Safety and Swimming Skills of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Full text linkDrowning is the leading cause of death among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study examined water orientation (i.e., comfort level), water safety, and beginning swimming skills of individuals with ASD of ages ranging from 3 to 13 years using the Aquatic Orientation Checklist (AOC) (Kilian et al., 1984). Data were collected during consecutive Fall and Spring semesters. A total of 23 children (n = 15 boys; n = 8 girls) volunteered for the study. Lessons were conducted twice a week for 10 weeks continuously and each lesson was 45 minutes in length. Overall, the swimming program had a significantly positive impact on the participants: they were less resistant to learn, showed an increase in comfort level in the aquatic environment, and were more willing to learn basic water safety and swimming skills by the completion of the program. These outcomes support the importance and effectiveness of teaching basic water safety and swimming skills to individuals with ASD to increase comfort level in the water and to decrease drowning rates
Developing and Testing the Successful Change Measurement Scale: A New Model Based on a Novel Conceptualization of David Gleicher\u27s Organizational Change Formula
No full textDespite the widespread use of change management models in organizational settings, many remain unvalidated and are based more on practitioner observation than academic research. One such model is The Change Formula (TCF), a heuristic developed by David Gleicher in the 1960s to explain observed phenomena present within organizational change efforts. Although widely referenced and adapted, TCF has never undergone empirical validation of its latent factor structure. This dissertation addresses that gap by introducing the Successful Change Formula (SCF), a refined and novel version of TCF, and empirically tests its constructs through exploratory analysis. The study employed quantitative research to provide initial support for a valid and reliable measurement of successful change. Using data from 404 organizational change participants, multiple exploratory factor analyses (EFA), multi-dimensional scaling (MDS), and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted to evaluate construct validity, item reliability, and model fit. Through iterative item refinement and scale development, an empirically supported three-factor hierarchical model emerged, comprising: 1) Conditions Needed for Change (C), 2) Intention to Change (I), and 3) Change Execution (E). The resulting model demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (α \u3e .89), strong item loadings, and alignment with organizational change theory. This research advances change management theory by providing empirical support for a foundational framework. It provides initial support for a future, reliable, and valid instrument for practitioners and scholars seeking to influence and guide organizational change initiatives. Furthermore, the study also provides an initial indication of the scale’s future capability to predict successful change outcomes in organizations. By bridging a 60-year gap between theory and evidence, this dissertation lays the groundwork for future studies to refine the SCF model, examine its predictive capabilities, and enhance its practical applicability across diverse organizational contexts
