Morgan Tincher's Capstone Project: "How Genes and Gender Affect a Potential Cure for Lupus" centered on how genes and gender affect a potential cure for lupus. She concluded that despite medical advancements and extensive research, lupus is still largely not understood. For Morgan's project she partnered with the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce to spread awareness at their annual women's conference. She created a pamphlet with information about lupus, a personal testimonial, and resources for those affected. Morgan spoke with several women about their own battles with lupus and answered many questions. Morgan was inspired to do this project from her own lupus diagnosis, and she hopes to spread awareness throughout Murfreesboro.

Paz Dozie Nnamah's Capstone Project: "Colorism and the Cosmetic Industry" focused on colorism and its effect on beauty standards, both nationally and internationally, and the consequences that follow. This past summer, she spent numerous hours collecting and refining online articles, speeches, statistics, and documentaries pertaining to the colorism and its influence on many beauty-dependent industries. She subsequently planned and performed an informative presentation to influential youths that exposes the lack of variety within the cosmetic industry. This was followed by a letter campaign inviting these young individuals to express their opinions on how their favorite companies have either included more diversity in their products or have neglected specific groups of people in their products. Paz was inspired to do this project because it is a continuous trend that she observes daily, and she hops to achieve some changes in mindset on the popular views of conventional beauty.
