David DeGooyer: Kabyle Morphology
David DeGooyer grew up in the Pacific Northwest and also lived in downstate Illinois before moving to Chicago. He plans to double-major in French and Francophone Studies & Communication at University of Illinois at Chicago.
Abstract: The goal of this project was to look at the morphology of the Kabyle language, one of the Berber languages of North Africa, and to see specifically how affixation is handled. The focus was on some of the major purposes of affixation and how the meanings of words can be changed by adding prefixes or suffixes, noting vowel changes in words, or the addition of other morphemes. A secondary goal was to determine whether there was an influence of French or Arabic on morphology in Berber languages.

Jacob Hirtenstein: Philosophy and Theology of Søren Kierkegaard
Jacob Hirtenstein is pursuing an AA in Political Science, and hopes to transfer and major in Philosophy.
Abstract: The Sickness unto Death, written by Soren Kierkegaard under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, is a work of theistic existentialism that seeks to detail the condition of being in despair, and what it means for an individual to be in despair. Anti-Climacus details this condition dialectically, borrowing Hegelian methodology to do so, as well as offering his own critique of Hegel. The purpose of the work, beyond simply describing the state of despair, is to describe the happiness that having an individual relation to God (through Christianity) will bring to someone. In the second half of the book, Anti-Climacus tells us what it means to truly sin, and describes sin’s intricate relationship with the self, with despair, and with Christianity as a whole. The book is both a work of philosophy and theology, equally borrowing from both to produce a guide to finding spiritual peace.

Tatiana Last: The Great Barrier Reef
Abstract: Coral reefs are the most comprehensive ecosystems in the world. During the project, I explored the relationship between animals and plants in the Great Barrier Reef. The goal of the project is to show people exotic and unique relationships that can be found only in the Great Barrier Reef. The project also includes information about the specific animals and plants that people are not familiar with. In addition, the project includes the information about the actual problems of coral reefs. This project is supposed to give enough information for people to understand how the coral reef's ecosystem works and how people can preserve them.

Taffarel Vieira da Cunha: Briquettes from Biological Sources as an Alternative Energy Source
(Bio to come)
Abstract: The growing concern around the world about global warming compels us to think about alternatives to using fossil fuels to supply the global energy demand. The reuse of bio materials has been highlighting in this subject. Many vegetable materials that are currently discarded as garbage, can be reused for energy increase by making briquettes. This activity, in addition to generating revenue for large companies, contributes to the mitigation of environmental impacts.
