It is the first time any student (or faculty) has ever won all three awards in all categories in the same year.
The friendship and collaboration continues.
As President of USU, Woodson will be responsible for the academic, research and service mission of the university.
The nomination states, “Time and time again she has made my job as a pediatrician more impactful through her thoughtful mentorship (of me) and a kind loving presence for families in need.”
The nomination states, “Dr. Joseph is one of the kindest teachers and mentors at BUSM.”
The award supports her project, titled “Assessing Immigrant Health Paradox by Determining Severity and Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in Different Generations of Immigrants.”
Work aims to address the challenges of dementia research and mental health systems research in India.
She is the inaugural recipient of the award, which will be presented annually to faculty who have done an extraordinary job at addressing and improving diversity and a culture of inclusion throughout the School.
Congratulations to Professor Sondra Crosby; Clinical Professor Robert Eberhardt; Associate Professors Jennifer Beane-Ebel, Francesca Seta, Kaku So-Armah and Brian Yun; and Clinical Associate Professors Lisa Caruso and Frederic Little.
