Welcome!
Welcome to SPH-B Public Health Research Day 2024! This event is dedicated to the exceptional research collaborations among students across our degree programs in partnership with our outstanding faculty.
Navigation and Instructions
Each entry below highlights the research of an online student or group of students working in collaboration and focuses on a topic that bears directly on the advancement of knowledge in the field of public health.
Student pages contain a biography, research abstract, and a video presentation of their work.
Online submissions will be reviewed by our faculty judges before the in-person event on Friday, April 5th. In-person presentations will then be evaluated on event day. After all presentations have been judged, winners (doctoral, master's, and bachelor's categories) will be announced at an in-person awards ceremony on April 5th. Should any of the winning presentations be from an online student, they will be notified via email and their award will also be marked next to the student presentation page link below.
