Christopher Pitzer, president of the Graduate Student Executive Council, reflected on the moment he received the Outstanding Graduate Student award in Molecular and Translational Physiology at the UTHSC College of Graduate Health Sciences Graduate Research Day earlier this month.
“It is awesome, and I just felt like proud of what I’ve done in the past few years,” said Pitzer. “We are lucky as a UTHSC community to be large enough that we have everything we need, but small enough that we are all close, and even knowing that I applied for the award, I still had several grad students congratulate me.”
Pitzer was among many students, faculty, and postdoctoral scholars that were recognized during this year’s UTHSC College of Graduate Health Sciences Graduate Research Day and awards ceremony. This annual event showcases and honors the distinguished achievements and research in the college within the past year.
In the first segment of the event, innovative research projects from students and postdocs are presented in a poster and platform competition. During the poster competition, presenters showcase and discuss their research in an open format. In the platform competition, presenters are assigned 10 minutes to present their research to attendees.
