Burns wins AHA fellowship
Kevin Burns, a kinesiology doctoral student advised by Professor Don Dengel, has been awarded an American Heart Association (AHA) Pre-doctoral Fellowship Award for his project "Chronic Effects of Right Ventricular Pacing on Left Ventricular Torsion."
Only 26 percent of applications for this prestigious award receive funding. Kevin's percentile ranking was 4.3 percent, which is exceptionally high for this award. Kevin is the fourth student from the School of Kinesiology to receive the AHA award, joining Aaron Kelly (Ph.D., 2004), Tom Olson (Ph.D., 2005), and Ulf Bronas (Ph.D., 2007). Professor Dengel says, "This exceptional accomplishment speaks to the quality of our students, the research they are conducting, and the education that they are receiving."
