Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
How does one bring new life and meaning to old, forgotten things? I plan on doing this by creating a book that combines the dusty, boring parts of history and facts with the fun and exciting parts of life. Those who read this book will learn about artifacts of South and Central America. Full color illustrations showcase what artifacts would have looked like in use, during the time and place that they were created. This will teach people about the rich cultures that surround these everyday items. Along with the in-use illustrations, there will be black and white technical drawings …
The Coupled: A Graphic Novel Proposal, Joshua Lively
The Coupled: A Graphic Novel Proposal, Joshua Lively
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
Identity, especially in a creative environment, is something which we are encouraged to grasp by the end of our college careers. I’ve found, however, that this is a big question. College alone is a major step towards autonomy which entirely shifted my sense of self, and I’m sure that many in my situation can relate. As a result, I want to center a story around this idea of autonomy, and what it means to find one’s personal identity. I will be creating a graphic novel proposal, titled The Coupled, which will consist of both a written and digitally illustrated portion. …

I have combined my love of hand lettering and illustration to create a zine., a self-made publication primarily circulated in the counter culture to distribute information quickly and affordably. Zines throughout history have covered broad topics, deemed reflective for the creator as well as the audience. For my zine titled, Olykoek, I am creating a short recipe book with unique summer desserts. “Olykoek,” translates to fried dough and is the original name given to the donut which will be the first recipe for the zine. I picked this subject because I intend to make this a biannual publication and …

The realm of Christian fantasy is not a form that is often used to deliver the gospel and other important lessons in The Bible. In my thesis, I will write and illustrate a retelling of the public domain stories, Briar Rose and Sleeping Beauty. My retelling will serve as a tribute to these stories but will present them in a new way and be told from a Christian and biblical point of view. My goal is to present the story of God’s armor, an important lesson for children, through this fairy tale in a fun, fantastic, and fulfilling way. The …

My short animation follows the life of the main character, Yaminah, once she loses her job. After trying unsuccessfully to bounce back, she realizes that making a career of her hobby is what will bring her happiness. Because this project is targeting adults and teenagers, I want to stress the variety of ways to make a career of something you already love without external pressures of working in a corporate setting. The subject of the story, Yaminah, uses roller skating to de-stress and exercise. Most regular skaters you find at a roller-skating rink use it as a safe space with …

How do I recreate the feeling of a storm in a way that the audience will be able to connect the experience to their own personal storms? My project concept is an audio-visual-physical installation of a storm. I will be combining various forms of storytelling, specifically sound and video, to communicate how it feels to be very suddenly and violently confronted with one’s own mortality and fears. Instead of telling the story of the storm itself, I am using its structure to communicate a tonal journey. Despite the negative emotions that one can experience during and after a storm, I …

In children’s books the relationship between parent and child is often shown. What isn’t always shown are the hiccups that can happen in this relationship. In my picture book, I tell the story of a more rebellious, imaginative child not wanting to do what his parent wants, but still ultimately being loved and cared for by them as they work through it. The book will serve as a fun and fantastical twist on a bedtime story that emphasizes and focuses on the importance of the relationship between a child and their parents/guardians, and how a bedtime routine can be a …

An Exploration Into The Lineage Of Contemporary Fantasy Painting, David Beck
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
As part of my personal journey preparing for a career in fantasy illustration and a life in art, I have studied the lineage of contemporary painters and fantasy image creators that influence the market today such as Howard Pyle, John Bauer, James Gurney, Brian Froud, and many more. These artists’ have influenced the generation of illustrators producing today; some of my biggest influences being Jesper Ejsing, Sidharth Chaturvedi, and Seb McKinnon. I have set out to become another illustrator in the lineage and to do that I must prepare myself for a life of illustration, using their wealth of published …
The Diary Of Iaso, Dani Fields
The Diary Of Iaso, Dani Fields
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
I intend to create a field guide that tells the story of a scientist, Iaso, who works for acorporation that owns the entire world. The corporation runs this world, but because their lives are good citizens rarely try to act out of line. Iaso has this same train of thought until he stumbles upon an abandoned town and discovers weird and violent creatures. When trying to leave, he digs up the truth behind the creatures and the corporation itself. The story will be told from Iaso’s point of view as he writes diary entries and sketches what he encounters throughout. …

Thrifting, upcycling, and raging against the fast fashion industry allow people to express themselves, not only strive to “save the planet” but also make for an attractive narrative. My project will appeal to these ideals, transforming stories and offering new purposes to used and otherwise discarded, everyday items. My exploration of sustainability through hands-on artistic practices will be documented and reflected throughout my process in conjunction with constant research methods into techniques and tools. Finally, I will produce a collection of final transformed products of various mediums and elements as, not a conclusion, but an introduction to the future possibilities …

The world is only as big as what the artist creates. Fictional worlds are often neglected, narrow, and cliché. In order to immerse yourself in a story, the world must be believable. My intentions will be to create narrative-driven concept art and a graphic novel proposal for a fictional world. Presented in full color, I will be creating a world playing off the term ‘trash city.’ Instead of focusing on the dystopian aspects associated with ‘trash city’, my story will be a journey into a new world. Throughout the journey there will be adventure, discovery, friendships, and—of course—some baddies to …

Stamps Around The World, Anna Hollis Townsend
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
How might I highlight cultural diversity around the world via postage stamps? Postage stamps are an optimal choice to showcase stories that are passed down in multiple cultures. I will be focusing on the creation of six stamps inspired by the folktales surrounding natural wonders from six countries: Dragons of the Aurora Borealis in northern China, the grieving mother of the Tunupa and Salar de Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, the whimsical Fairy Chimneys in Turkey, the curious rock troll of the Reynisdrangar Cliffs in Iceland, the black stingray of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and finally the seven …

The three-personality theory denotes that there are three personas: the persona for the world, the persona for your inner circle, and the persona for yourself or “true-self.” Many, including myself, might face difficulties determining whether they are presenting their true or genuine self. I want to treat this art project as a therapeutic tool for myself and others struggling with the idea of help. I also aim to convey the “true self” by showing the world you create in your mind along with the personalities you inhabit using my own perspective. I will create a short story utilizing animation and …

My manga story proposes a look at Christianity through a critical lens. Christian stories usually pertain to teaching lessons from the Bible. However, the same stories and teachings have also instilled fear and justified harmful ideas against minority groups. I want to take these issues and talk about them through a visual narrative in my thesis project. Ideally, the target audience will be young adults who collect and read dark fantasy manga. My initial chapter of the story, summary of the plot, and character designs with color samples are part of my manga proposal.

Ambivalent Ageism, Familiarity, And Empathy As Predictors Of Charitable Donation Decisions, Madison Demott
Ambivalent Ageism, Familiarity, And Empathy As Predictors Of Charitable Donation Decisions, Madison Demott
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
Recently, researchers have identified two distinct forms of ageism: benevolent ageism, in which older people are patronized or pitied, and hostile ageism, in which older people are devalued. Raymer et al. (2017) found that young adults also can also be targets of negative, age-related attitudes; however, this topic is relatively unexplored. Thus, this study examined how young adults’ ageist attitudes related to charitable decisions for young and senior adult recipients. It was hypothesized that hostile ageism would decrease donations to senior adults (SA), while benevolent ageism would increase donations to SA and predicted the same pattern regarding youth-ageism donations for …

Language in America is, and has always been, as diverse as the American population. Never has one language been the sole language of America. However, it is a common belief that English is America’s official language. This misconception has caused issues throughout America, and this essay will discuss how this misconception affects Spanish speakers in the workplace. It will also discuss how implementing English-only policies in the workplace not only hurts Spanish-speaking employees, but how it hurts American business, as well. The sources that have been used throughout the essay range from The United States Business Bureau, The Department of …

The Effects Of Competition And Student Ability On Achievement Goals, Kelsey Allen, Gabrielle E. Mcgee, Shannan Keianna Goodwin
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
The present study examined whether the effect of competition on achievement goals depends on student ability. The 129 college students who participated in this study received a packet that included a short learning activity with corresponding questions, an achievement goal questionnaire, and demographic items. Half of the packets contained instructions that had students answer the questions to the best of their ability, which created a non-competitive environment. The other half contained instructions that had students do the best that they could, because their scores would be ranked against those of their classmates. This facilitated classroom competition. Afterward, the students completed …

Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
The main hypothesis was that after viewing a lesbian-appearing profile, participants would have a more positive view of the LGBTQ+ community, compared to participants who viewed a heterosexual-appearing profile. Additionally, it was hypothesized that more media representation of LGBTQ+ and prevalence of LGBTQ+ role models would produce a positive correlation with attitudes. Participants were 16 men, 55 women and nine participants who did not gender identify. The participants’ ages ranged from 18-50+. Through an online survey, using various questionnaires, participants’ attitudes toward the social media profiles (one profile appearing heterosexual and the other lesbian) were assessed. It was found that …

Mental Health Effects On Young Athletes: A Comprehensive Review, Katie Moore
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
Just like physical health, mental health is important for any young athlete. Significant focus on mental health is imperative, as mental illness continues to rise in individuals ages 10-24, in addition to the demands that come with playing a competitive sport. The purpose of this review of literature was to observe how mental health affects young athletes and their methods of seeking help. Statistics have shown that mental health has taken a toll on younger populations in recent years, and it is important to consider how the components of being an athlete can weigh in. Methods throughout these studies consisted …

Adipose Derived Stem Cell Morphology And Gene Expression In Two-Dimensional Versus Three-Dimensional Environments, Caroline G. Hammond
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a population of mesenchymal stem cells with multipotent differentiation ability. Three-dimensional cell culture environments are particularly valuable for observing stem cell behavior as they represent a more accurate model of in vivo conditions than simple two-dimensional culture. The purpose of this research was to explore the potential to use several different three-dimensional culture systems to better understand how ADSCs cultured in three-dimensions behave relative to ADSCs cultured using traditional two-dimensional cell culture. The present study hypothesized that both ADSCs both on top of and inside of collagen hydrogels and as spheroids could be cultured to …

Far From Home: Consumption And Personalization In College Dorms, Mattin Avalon, Kaitlyn Clingenpeel
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
For many traditional college students, their campus is the first “home” they will ever choose for themselves. Their dormitories or residence halls are the first spaces they will ever personalize as young adults. This paper examines those personalization processes, and the resulting navigations of institutional control, identity, and reconceptualization of home within the college student population. Data were collected through eight interviews and dormitory tours conducted with full-time campus residents at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The resulting analyses examined the systematic process of personalizing a dorm room, and how that process is affected by the institution and …
Age, Race, And Sexism Predict Hostile And Benevolent Ageism, Madison Demott
Age, Race, And Sexism Predict Hostile And Benevolent Ageism, Madison Demott
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
The concept of ambivalent sexism demonstrates how both subtle and overt gender prejudice can exert a powerful influence. Ambivalent ageism illustrates how benevolent and hostile prejudice affect how older adults are viewed. I investigated the unique effects of each type of ageist prejudice on reactions to stereotype consistent and inconsistent images. I also investigated associations between sexist and ageist attitudes and differences in each type of prejudice as a function of gender, age, and race. I expected hostile ageism to predict unfavorable appraisals of counter-stereotypical portrayals of older adults and benevolent ageism to predict favorable appraisals of stereotypical portrayals of …
The Female Slave Experience, Christopher Adams
The Female Slave Experience, Christopher Adams
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
In this paper, I evaluate slavery from the perspective of female slaves to show how their experience may have been more difficult than that of male slaves. Although most slave narratives have come from the male slave’s point of view or from a male author, there may be evidence that the female point of view may be of more importance. To argue this, I use Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs and Clotel by William Wells Brown to show that the slave experience for females was more difficult than the slave experience for males due …

The Relationship Between Future Orientation, Social Support And Gpa, Chelsea Harris
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
Future orientation (FO) is broadly defined as one’s perception of one’s future. It has been shown to act as a protective factor for adolescents regarding substance abuse, risky behavior, and internalizing problems, as well as promoting greater academic success. Most FO research has focused on children or adolescents, leaving a gap for young adults. Similarly, social support (SS) has been shown to act as a protective factor and promote positive mental health and academic outcomes. FO develops and shapes itself in accordance with an individual’s social context, including SS, making it valuable to study the two variables together. This study …

Thermodynamics-Based Discovery Of New K-La-Zr-O Compounds Via Hydrothermal Synthetic Methods, Thomas Sullivan
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
This project investigates aqueous modeling coupled with mild hydrothermal methods (200 °C, 16 atm) for discovery of new compounds, goals for advanced materials development outlined in SC Vision 2025 and NSF Big Ideas. Innovative luminescent materials, such as scintillators, are needed for opto-electronics and other optical technologies. Hydrothermal methods were performed, with thermodynamic guidance from aqueous speciation calculations in OLI Studio, to look for compounds in the K-La-Zr-O quaternary system. This system choice was inspired by several Na-Y-Si-O compounds previously synthesized by supercritical hydrothermal methods. By altering compositions of reactants, it is possible to generate trace amounts of novel …
Active Shooter Protocols: Perceptions, Preparedness, And Unintended Consequences, Veronica Worthington
Active Shooter Protocols: Perceptions, Preparedness, And Unintended Consequences, Veronica Worthington
Showcase of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE)
The national concern about active shootings has pushed schools to implement intense drills without considering some unintended consequences. Studies have found that training had the potential to increase preparedness; however, some studies have found that training increases anxiety. While these findings apply to short-term effects, there is a lack of empirical research on long-term effects of active shooter drills. The present study investigated whether active shooter training completed in high school impacts current levels of anxiety and preparedness of undergraduates. Participants (N = 364) completed an online survey and answered questions about their perceived knowledge of protocols, protocol actions, …
