Amber Baughman, a recent Master’s degree graduate in Nutritional Sciences, won the Iowa State 8^th annual Graduate and Professional Student Senate Research Conference (GPSS) competition. Amber, one of three winners, gave a 10-minute oral presentation titled “Comparing the Effectiveness of a SNAP Simulation Given to Dietetics Students in the Classroom versus on the Computer.” Her thesis was also quickly accepted to ProQuest, the university's thesis submission system. While working on the presentation and her thesis, Amber consulted with CCE Writing Consultants Kelsey Fisher and Kristin Terrill:

“Both Kelsey and Kristin have been phenomenal to work with! Kelsey helped me to make my thesis more concise and clearer. She also assisted me with four presentations, and her fantastic ideas took each presentation to the next level! Kristin also was very easy to work with and met with me not once, but twice, to help me perfect the formatting of my thesis. I am so grateful for Kelsey, Kristin, and everyone else at the CCE for going above and beyond in helping me in all of my endeavors at ISU!”  Read More
