Congratulations to Senior Shannon Wongvibulsin!
Shannon was named a Semifinalist in the prestigious Young Epidemiology Scholars (YES) Competition, the nation's leading public health competition for high school students. She won a $1,000 college scholarship for her project, "How Eating Habits Influence Sickness Frequency in Teenagers." "With the nation facing a potentially catastrophic shortage of public health professionals, it is critical that we cultivate the next generation of public health talent," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, M.D., M.B.A., President and CEO, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "This student's outstanding work demonstrates that the future of epidemiology holds great promise."
