The inaugural year of the Othmer Research Fellowship culminated in early December 2025 with research presentations and posters displayed on the ICU campus. On Monday, December 8, and Tuesday, December 9, Othmer Research Fellows presented their work across two sessions, with four fellows presenting on Monday and nine on Tuesday.

The fellows’ presentations reflected research spanning multiple disciplines, embodying the Fellowship program’s goal of supporting researchers’ academic interests. In attendance were students, faculty, supporters, and funders. Fellows gained valuable experience in communicating their research findings to diverse audiences. At the conclusion of their presentations, fellows received certificates of completion from President and CEO Paul Hastings. Fellows also created research posters that were displayed in the T-Kan Hallway, providing visibility for their work throughout the campus community.
