Mourning A Menagerie Of Martyrs, Sarah Jentsch
Undergraduate Research Conference
As we enter 2017, animals only face more challenges from climate change and shrinking habitat. The endangerment of these species often puts their entire ecosystem at risk. I wanted to highlight this issue by creating a series of prints focusing on a few species threatened by the habitat loss and climate change that comes with our modern way of life.

Floating blue is a glaze that appears to have a blue layer floating over an earthy undertone, giving it the illusion of depth. The base of the glaze floating blue was taken aside while its original colorants (rutile, red iron oxide, and cobalt carbonate) were added in different increments with other ones to get different hues. The main goal was to produce a green version of floating blue, that is, a glaze that has the same textural and visual effect as floating blue that instead has a green hue. This was tested by replacing cobalt carbonate with copper carbonate, while …

Bad Curation: Exhibiting "Degenerate Art", Hannah Colletti
Undergraduate Research Conference
In a time of censorship and social control under the ideology of the Nazi regime, Hitler and his counterparts produced an exhibition to discredit artistic developments deemed inappropriate and counterproductive for society. This project analyzed the ''Degenerate Art'' exhibition within the context of Nazi Germany, giving particular attention to the curatorial methods used to display the works, in order to understand the purpose of this exhibition and evaluate its impact.

The first step for any project is the research to fit the needs for residents and staff alike. South Hall was built in the 1950s providing a historical aspect to it. It was built with a post-modern design using brick and concrete. Although it is important to keep the flavor of the original post-modern exterior design, the importance of renovating the building to accommodate security, bringing up to code, technology, security, better retention, and comfortable environment is crucial to this design.

Stephen F. Austin State University's Residence Life Department aims to improve resident retention in South Hall through renovation and interior design. By improving the spaces meant for student use, we hope to increase the involvement and comfort of the residents. The existing structure was not designed for today's amenities and accessibility standards. By enlarging doorways, adding an elevator, and de-compartmentalizing the community spaces, the building becomes much more accessible to people with disabilities. These open spaces also fit into the contemporary styles of living and promote interaction between the residents and other occupants.

Our team was challenged to design an assisted living (AL) facility for county residents with dementia when their condition ultimately prevents their continued participation in the Nacogdoches Treatment Center's (NTC) Day Activity Program. The NTC is a non-profit facility founded in 1972. Its mission is to provide needed services that are not being met by the community. With the new facility, patients may transition seamlessly from the daily program to a permanent living space, surrounded by familiar faces and loving care.

Concept Statement Inspired by the Novel, we were drawn to the character Claudia as her mental state transformed from innocent child into a malicious hellion. As a vampire, Claudia struggled with the idea that she would never physically age. We developed a two-part outfit with this internal conflict in mind. The first of which, will represent Claudia as an innocent child, using our soft good materials from Cronan and Associates. The second part will represent her mental transformation into a dangerous and sleek predator using both soft goods from Cronan and Associates and hard goods from Daltile.
