Brandi Woodell received a 2017-18 Presidential Graduate Fellowship from the University of Nebraska. The fellowships are awarded annually to a select group of NU-system graduate students on the basis of high scholastic performance and personal accomplishment. Fellows receive a stipend, provided through the University of Nebraska Foundation, that allows to pursue studies full-time.
Woodell, a doctoral student in sociology, studies how factors such as family support, community involvement and social discrimination affect the health disparities between sexual minorities and heterosexuals. Her dissertation aims to identify key resources available and missing from the lives of sexual minorities and heterosexuals in rural areas in order to develop strategies for better health-related outcomes.
Woodell is one of six people system-wide (two at the Lincoln campus) to receive the fellowship.
