Julianna Nichols' project, Final Population Health Program Plan, was completed for the occupational therapy course, OTD 510: Population Health, taught by Dr. Denise Crowley.
Nicole Mautone's project, Expectations and Subversions: The Semiotics of Psychological Horror in 'Doki Doki Literature Club', was completed for the English literature course, HO 496: Honors Thesis/Capstone Completion, taught by Dr. Stanley Blair.
"My topic was the semiotics of the visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club (DDLC). This meant I had to tackle several topics, including semiotics, visual novels, and DDLC itself, as well as multiple other subtopics. I worked very closely with my thesis advisor, Dr. Blair, who helped guide me to certain databases that could help me. The first database I spent the most time with was the Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory & Criticism. Johns Hopkins was very helpful to research and understand certain concepts such as semiotics, or specific theorists such as Edward Said. I spent hours gaining basic knowledge from this database, which would act as the building blocks for the rest of my research."
