Huge congratulations to Laura Prieto, a graduate student working with Dr. Columna! Laura is one of NINE finalist in the UW 3-Minute Thesis presentations!

Out of over 60 UW-Madison graduate students in this virtual competition, 39 advanced tp the semifinals at the beginning of this month. You can see all of their video presentations here.
Laura presented “Active Together”: Physical Activity Program for Adults with Parkinson’s and their Care Partners, and was among the 9 who were chosen to advance to the Finals in February where they will compete to represent UW-Madison at the regional competition! We are so proud to have students like her in our program and look forward to seeing her many accomplishments after this!
