“I wasn’t sure how my artistic practice and research could intersect, but my time at FSU has shown me how fulfilling the process can be.”
Florida State University’s Nicolina Morra is a motivated artist dedicated to exploring the connection between society and art through her research and community service experience.
Morra earned an IDEA Grant to support her Honors in the Major thesis research, which explored the impact of societal threats on the individual. Based on interviews she conducted, she created a series of oil paintings that reflected both the individual’s personal identity and societal pressures by displaying the contents of a handbag.

“I have been fortunate enough to build a meaningful, dependable community here that I do not believe I could have found anywhere else.”
Jamila Guard chose to attend Florida State University for its renowned neuroscience program. She has dedicated her research to finding treatments for binge eating and bulimia syndromes. Her passion is evident through her involvement in Department of Psychology Professor Lisa Eckel’s neuroscience lab, where she examines how semaglutide (Ozempic) affects binge eating.
Guard is also an Ignite Fellow with Teach for America and helps elementary and middle school students with math and reading. She focuses on targeting weaknesses and boosting students’ confidence, finding satisfaction in their academic growth and excitement for learning.
Guard hopes her research and dedication to education will inspire other undergraduates to start their own research. Her goal is to provide academic resources for underprivileged students and ensure they have access to educational opportunities in the future.
