Christina, a fourth-year Kinesiology student, received an Outstanding Research Award at the 21st Annual Bertha Rosenstadt National Undergraduate Research Conference in Kinesiology and Physical Education. Hosted by the University of Toronto, the multidisciplinary conference gives undergraduate students the opportunity to present literature reviews, critiques, term papers and findings from research projects. Students submit an abstract and have 10 minutes to present their papers to peers and faculty members.
Presenting at the conference was a race to the finish. Christina and her graduate supervisor Jem Cheng were still collecting data the week of the conference and even running sessions the day before the presentation to build the largest possible data set.
Christina submitted her abstract to the conference on the recommendation of her graduate supervisor Jem Cheng. “I’m just so proud of Christina and everything she’s accomplished this year in spite of the situation we’re all in,” says Jem, who won the same award at the 2015 conference. “It was definitely a proud ‘research mom’ moment. I had this pang of nostalgia and just a sense that my research journey was coming full circle”
Christina will be working in the Vascular Dynamics Lab this summer to assist with Jem’s research.
