For her work in developing and teaching nutrition and food justice curricula to adolescents in New York City, Hannah Rudt ’23 has won the 2023 National Student Employee of the Year award – the first Cornellian to ever receive this honor.

Rudt has worked for four years in the research lab of Tashara Leak, assistant professor of nutritional sciences in the College of Human Ecology, who nominated her for the award. The research focuses on addressing how structural racism and poverty impact health and wellbeing.

Rudt also received the 2023 Community Work Study Program on-campus Student Employee of the Year award from the Einhorn Center.
