On January 28th, in the Ho Science Center atrium, the Lampert Institute Fellows in Public Affairs recipients presented their research to interested students and faculty via poster presentations.

The fellowship recipients each gave a five to ten minute talk in front of their posters, discussing their research and experience doing work around the world.  Some of the topics included Pediatric HIV and Mental Health in Kenya (Katrina Bennett ’16), Instances of Interaction between Casinos and Schools in Las Vegas (Bobae Kang ’16), and Ethnic Cleansing during the Bosnian War (Sara Sirota ’16).

To review the research conducted by the fellowship recipients and read their academic papers, please visit the Lampert Institute website.
