Fall 2025 ACSM GNYRC Scholarship Winners
 
As has been the tradition at the GNY Regional Chapter, our student poster competition and the President’s Cup Competition were a tremendous success. Each year the competitors demonstrate more and more growth and this year was no exception. Consistently the presentations were rated at or near the highest rating possible among all of the many judges who volunteered. We thank them for their time and effort. These events would not be possible without them.
 
The list of winners: 
 
For Undergraduate Original Research, First place went to Rosselyn Charris from York College, Second place to Lia M. Karas from Hofstra University, and Third place went to Maria Budelman from Manhattan University.
 
For Graduate Original Research, First place went to Emma Sarrazin-Boespflug from Concordia University, Second place to Leno Benny from Queens College, and Third place went to Gustavo Saldo from University of Louisville. 
 
For Graduate Case Study, First place went to Jake Finkelstein from Hofstra University and Second place to Ronit Patel from University of Louisville.
