Student Spotlight

Headshot of Kenyatta Richardson

Kenyatta Richardson

My name is Kenyatta Richardson(She/They). I am a Public Health Undergraduate and just transferred to UC Denver this semester.

For 12 weeks over the summer, I had the privilege of having a paid internship with the CDC and Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. This program was called Project Imhotep, and recently changed to the Lewis Scholars' IMHOTEP Project. This program falls under the umbrella of the CDC's Undergraduate Public Health Symposium(CUPS) which offers undergraduates across the country an opportunity to have hands-on research experience in Public Health. With thousands of applications and a 7% acceptance rate,  two different programs offered me a position in their respective cohorts, and I chose Project Imhotep.

 I attended classes at Morehouse College to refresh my knowledge of the basics of Public Health from some of the top Public Health professionals in the country. I also conducted research about oral health care and health risk behaviors among African American high school students in the United States.  I was paired with a mentor and utilized resources from the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health. Then, I presented at a nationwide virtual conference as well as an in-person cohort symposium.  Now, I'm really excited to have the opportunity to present my research at an upcoming conference. I will be presenting at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABCRMS) in Anaheim, California, on November 9th- 12th.
