Celebrating the winners of Stempel College Research Day 2025

On Friday, March 7, 2025, more than 55 students presented their research at our annual Stempel College Research Day, showcasing their outstanding work across public health, dietetics and nutrition, and social work. This year, six students won the oral presentation competition, including two who tied for 2nd place.

“It’s not easy communicating research in a way that is understandable to a diverse audience of judges, but these students did it and I am so proud of them for it,” said Tomás R. Guilarte, dean of Stempel College. “This event truly showcased the immense talent we have here at our college. My congratulations goes out to the winners, their major professors, and everyone who participated in this year's event.”

Stempel College Research Day is a full-day event hosted by the Office of Student & Alumni Affairs. The day is split into oral and poster presentations with each session allowing attendees the opportunity to ask questions to the students. Judges, who are also Stempel College faculty, rate the students using criteria that includes methodology, integration of the literature review, and the presentation itself.

Now, onto the winners!
