Once again, PHHP Days was a true celebration of the creativity and outstanding scholarship within the College of Public Health and Health Professions. Across 149 oral presentations, 148 poster presentations and eight pillar talks, faculty and students showcased the breadth and impact of the work being carried out in our classrooms, labs and communities.
This year’s event drew record attendance and participation, a strong indication of just how much our college values the opportunity to come together to share ideas, learn from one another and form new connections to strengthen our work.
An event of this scope requires an intense effort on the part of many, many people. From student mentorship to abstract judging to managing all the event logistics, PHHP Days would not have been a success without dozens of people playing a role.
I am incredibly grateful to all the members of our PHHP community who contributed their time and talents to this year’s event. In particular, I want to recognize the leadership of Dr. David Fuller, Associate Dean for Research; Dr. Karen Hegland, Research Committee Chair; Sam McKee, Events and Marketing Coordinator; and Alix Wheeler, Project Manager. I also want to acknowledge the 18 faculty who reviewed abstracts; the 38 faculty who served as judges and moderators; the 46 Ph.D. students and postdocs who served as judges; the 19-member research committee; the 14 staff members and 19 dean’s ambassadors who supported the event; and the over 140 faculty who served as mentors for our undergraduate students, graduate students and post-docs.
