The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed life as we knew it, but as 2020 graduates celebrate the end of their final school year, PRYDE has found ways to continue the festivities.

PRYDE presented for the first time at the annual CCE System Conference on March 25, 2020.

Faculty members Anthony Burrow and Julia Felippe, Ph.D. ’02, have been appointed provost’s fellows for public engagement, to advance Cornell’s public engagement mission and initiatives around community-engaged learning and research.

Through the development of the poster and their work on the project, they were able to better understand the entirety of the research process from study design to data analysis to dissemination.

“As an instructor, it’s really a fun opportunity to force yourself to think more creatively about your assignments that help to teach students, but also create a product that may be beneficial in the community.”

In January, Prof. Anthony Burrow, human development, received $30,000 from the Engaged Scholar Prize. Nine months later, he’s given away $20,000 of the prize money to 50 projects created by undergraduate students.

Carúmey and Kaylin’s research on emerging adulthood extends PRYDE’s mission by taking a closer look at what awaits youth just on the other side of adolescence.

“There is no better way to learn about translational research than to do it yourself.”, says PRYDE Scholar Morgan Chadwick.
