Stephanie Zare (NHS'09), an honors human science major at NHS, recently won the Sigma Xi presentation award, which is given to recognize excellent oral research presentations in science.

Georgetown students, representing the Departments of Human Science and Biology, competed to win the award, given by the university's chapter of Sigma Xi.
