Many students receive great awards here at Sacred Heart and a lot of them go unrecognized.
Recently Todd Jenson, a junior who is biology major, won the award for the best presentation in his subject group at the 59th Eastern Colleges Science Conference on Saturday April 9.
There were several different categories present at this competition including, Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Psychology and Physics to list a few.
Jenson competed at this very prestigious competition and his presentation was entitled, "The Role of Gene HS8A in Development of Dictyostelium Discoideum."
The ECSC judges were very impressed with both the professional quality of Jenson's project, as well as his confidence when we delivered his presentation and the amount of effort that he put into the research of his presentation.
At this competition, two students presented Platform presentations which include a 15 minute PowerPoint oral presentation.
Christos Dimos and Jenson were the two picked to complete this portion of the presentation.
"Upon attending the awards ceremony that evening, I was awarded outstanding Platform presentation in the category of Cellular and Developmental Biology," Jenson said.
The competition contained a total of about 300 participants from 20 institutions all around the northeast.
From Sacred Heart itself, a total of thirteen students gave poster or oral presentations at the competition.
On conclusion of the competition, Jenson stated, "There were a lot of excellent presentations, and I was very surprised that I won this award, but after all the hard work the last two semesters it was an excellent payoff for not only myself but for Christos Dimos, who helped work on my project with me."
