I was awarded a 5,000 dollar scholarship by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education for placing first in their Mental Health Awareness Challenge. The ORISE Mental Health Awareness Challenge prompted undergraduate students to investigate the relationship between self-help habits and mental well-being. My entry examined the effects of social media use on undergraduate students’ mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
