We are thrilled to announce that Oyindoubra has been selected to participate in the VPR, a prestigious recognition that highlights excellence in graduate research.

We could not be more proud to see her hard work and dedication recognized at this level.

The VPR is designed to support the best and brightest graduate students from across the institution, promoting excellence in research and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. As a fellow, Oyindoubra will receive a range of valuable benefits, including research funding, a scholarship for both the fall and spring semesters, a travel grant, and access to professional development workshops and networking opportunities. These resources are aimed at preparing fellows and their cohort to become thought leaders in their respective fields, and we have no doubt that Oyindoubra will rise to that challenge.
