Congratulations to Aziza Altyyeva, Berea College ’27!
Aziza, a 2025 intern with the Data Science for the Public Good program through the Kohl Centre, received the Best Undergraduate Paper Award at the Kentucky Economics Association Annual Conference.
"Attending the conference and presenting my research required a lot of bravery since it was my first time. What gave me confidence was the authenticity of our work and the effort we put into the project. Receiving the award was a recognition of our dedication throughout the summer during the DSPG program. I am truly grateful to my research mentors at Virginia Tech, my teammate Collin Holt, and my professors at Berea College for their constant support throughout this journey."
