Mitchell Givens Awarded Situation Prize for Research

The Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Engagement has named Mitchell Givens, a student majoring in our Urban Studies and Planning program, as a recipient of the Situation Prize for Research – Community, Cause and Advocacy.

The Situation Prize for Research was announced in April 2017 as the first-ever award for student participation in research, scholarship, and creative activities at the University at Albany. Since then, 45 students have benefited from the generosity of Damian Bazadona ’98. In 2021, the scope of the Situation Prize for Research shifted to support students who have used research or aim to utilize research to address an issue or problem within the community. Awards have supported research in action and application to propel students as change-makers in their communities.

Congratulations to Mitchell for joining a prestigious group of University at Albany undergraduate students!
