She won for a research paper on the opioid overdose epidemic among youth in Ottawa.</p> <p>Farrell-Beaulieu says her experiences growing up in Ottawa inspired her winning paper, which was completed for the course JGI 216: Globalization and Urban Change.</p> <p>“Winning this prize shows that my research is going in a positive direction that can lead to an attitude shift in society’s treatment of teenage addiction and mental health,” she says. “It also means hope – for me, my classmates, community members, and the parents of those who passed away – that this crisis doesn’t have to be a permanence in our community.”</p> <p>Instructor <strong>Dylan Symone</strong> says&nbsp;Farrell-Beaulieu's work was exceptional, noting&nbsp;“her creative efforts in searching, evaluating, and synthesizing information sources across traditional disciplinary boundaries in scholarly research.”</p> <p>The Patricia and Peter Shannon Wilson Undergraduate Research Prize is made possible due to an endowment by Mrs. Patricia Wilson and Mr. Peter Wilson.&nbsp;</p> <h3><a href="/news/u-t-libraries-recognizes-six-undergraduate-students-outstanding-research">Read the °µÍřTV News article</a></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 12 Aug 2020 19:31:45 +0000 lanthierj 165455 at
