Public Policy Student Wins EVPR Award at Research, Innovation, & Development Competition

Posted February 21, 2024

Ximena Pizarro-Bore, a Ph.D. student in the School of Public Policy, won an Executive Vice President for Research (EVPR) travel grant at the recent Career, Research, Innovation, and Development Conference (CRIDC) poster competition.

Pizzaro-Bore was among 116 graduate students from across Georgia Tech who competed at CRIDC this year. Students presented their research in front of their peers, as well as faculty and staff judges. The event also featured the first-event online poster competition.

Bore is writing her dissertation on federal workers' telework experiences during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.

“It is the organizational perspective that makes this question interesting, following the question, 'What can we learn about knowledge management, cooperation, collaboration, and work-life balance supportive cultures? What protocols or norms need to change for future telework design?'" Pizarro-Bore said.

CRIDC is a collaborative effort of the Graduate Student Government Association and the Graduate Career Development Team from the Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate and Postdoctoral Education.
