Congratulations 2021 ABRCMS Presentation Awardees!

Congratulations to five of our RISE Program Scholars for their achievements during the 2021 ABRCMS Conference! ABRCMS offers undergraduate students with the opportunity to showcase their research and our scholars made sure to shine through.

Each scholar won an oral presentation award for their research in varying divisions. Noa Odell, a Junior Biology major, received an award on her research with Dr. Stephen Ekker of Mayo clinic in the Developmental Biology and Genetics division. Dominique Ewing, a Junior Psychology major, was acknowledged for her research with Dr. Danielle Dickens in the Social & Behavioral Sciences & Public Health division. Aleah Brown, a Junior Psychology major, was acknowledged in the Neuroscience division for research conducted with Dr. Emily Noble of Noble Lab and the NSURE Program. Nyla Blagrove and Halle Armstrong also received awards in the Social & Behavioral Sciences & Public Health division. Nyla, a Sophomore Biology major, participated in research with Dr. Tabia Akintobi of MH School of Medicine. Halle, a Sophomore Health Science major, conducted her research with Dr. Danielle Dickens also.

 

RISE Scholars had the opportunity to attend the Annual Biomedical Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) 2021 Conference, November 10-12.  ABRCMS continues to be one of the largest communities of underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Students attend this conference to present their research, enhance professional development skills, explore graduate schools, and network. RISE is honored to have attended the virtual ABRCMS conference this year and we congratulate our scholars on their incredible wins along with the other bright RISE Scholars who presented!
