Students also receive authorship for their findings in the UNITY Summer Journal and the opportunity to present their work at the UNITY Health Conference. They can also earn a Catalyst Academy Public Health Leadership Certificate and receive a letter of recommendation for college applications. The highly competitive program only accepts 52 high school participants each year.
Nihar sent a note of appreciation to his high school counselor, Amanda Schur, and Principal Ryan Bellamy for their support, as well as English teachers Corey Simmins and Aline Hudson, who wrote letters of recommendation on his behalf.
Congratulations to Nihar and his teammates! We are extremely proud of your accomplishment!
