Arciero also published a peer-reviewed research study with former student Michael Ormsbee ’02. The study, “Higher-protein intake and physical activity are associated with healthier body composition and cardiometabolic health in Hispanic adults,” appears in the journal Clinical Nutrition ESPEN. 

K. Aurelia Ball, assistant professor of chemistry, will receive an award from the National Science Foundation totaling $364,418 for her proposal entitled "RUI: Characterization and modulation of SH3 domain binding pathway biophysics." The three-year award starts June 1 and ends May 31, 2022.

Caroline D'Abate, associate professor of management and business, presented research alongside four students – Maeve Foley ’19, Hadley Benneyan ’19, Jennifer Cerutti ’19 and Noa Maltzman ’18 – at the 2019 National Popular Culture/American Culture Conference in Washington, D.C., in April.
