The Center for Public Health Practice Award for Translation and Application of Research to Public Health Policy and Practice is for work that contributes insight and understanding to public health policy and practice. This year's award went to Yuae Park (BCHS '20) for the presentation Learning what works: Listening to WISEWOMAN participants. 

The Catherine Cartier Ulrich Memorial Award for Service to the Underserved has been a Pitt Public Health scholarship for several years now, created in the memory of this former student to award work with the underserved. This award is typically given to one doctoral student and one master’s student and is an example of how a public health student can benefit our communities while honoring Catherine’s dream of improving the lives of underserved populations. This is the fifth year that this award has been given in conjunction with Dean’s Day. In the master's category, Emma Gossard (BCHS '18) for her presentation "They're Messing Up Our Future Because We Need To Learn These Things”: A Qualitative Exploration of Sexual Health Education Experiences of Allegheny County Adolescents" . The doctoral winner is Lycia Tramujas Vasconcellos Neumann (BCHS '19) for her presentation The profile and unmet needs of cancer patients’ family caregivers in Brazil. 

 

Dean's Day is an annual student research competition. Students present their research during multiple poster sessions while faculty members judge presentations for prizes and students evaluate posters for Grand Rounds credit. The Dean invites selected presenters to give oral presentations of their work during the awards ceremony.
