The Presidential Fellowship is the most prestigious fellowship awarded to graduate students by Northwestern University that recognizes exceptional scholarship as well as demonstrated leadership abilities. Eduardo is a highly deserving recipient of this honor, and he will be a valuable member of the Society of Fellows. 

 

 Since January, Gracie has been participating in the Future Founders 3-Minute Pitch Program through Northwestern's Querrey InQbation Lab. First, they completed a series of workshops facilitated by the RCTP Research Communication Training Program at Northwestern University focused on conveying scientific research in an accessible way to a general audience. They were then paired with Northwestern Start Ups to craft 3-Minute pitches for a showcase to the Northwestern Women’s Board. It was an excellent experience and Gracie won first place which includes a $500 cash prize and 5 hours of Executive Coaching through the Kellogg School of Business.
