2017: Julio Badillo, Ray Charles Capanzana, Taylor Gainey, Donique Haynes, Koleyatu Sheriff

Working as part of a team of New Haven Promise Scholars under the supervision of Safety Advisor Shumin Bian, these students assisted with the herculean task of completing the Biosafety Stewardship Project-Cold Storage Inventory. Their strong work ethic and professionalism was instrumental in helping Yale’s Principal Investigators and lab managers with identifying their cold storage units, verifying their contents and completing an inventory of high-risk biological materials, when applicable. The team worked together to deal with many aspects of the project including tracking and verifying data, answering questions regarding the project and helping to track swing freezer use. The Safety Advisor managers and all of the EHS staff are extremely grateful for their hard work and are proud to celebrate their achievements.
