Valedictorian Anastasia Polychroniadou Presents Insightful Research at Prestigious International Conference

We are proud to share that Anastasia Polychroniadou, one of this year's valedictorians from the Business Administration program with a concentration in Marketing, recently presented her research at the 23rd International Conference on Research in Advertising (ICORIA), held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Anastasia's paper, Beyond Visibility: An Intersectional Analysis of LGBTQ+ Representation in Mainstream Advertising, was originally developed as part of the Research 299 course under the guidance of Dr. Eirini Tsichla. Through rigorous academic effort, she significantly expanded and refined the project, culminating in its acceptance at one of the field's most respected international academic conferences in advertising.

During the conference, Anastasia delivered an exceptional presentation, skillfully addressing all audience questions and sparking a lively and thoughtful discussion. Her work received positive feedback from fellow researchers and professionals, marking a significant achievement in both her academic journey and the broader discourse on representation in advertising.

We congratulate Anastasia on this impressive accomplishment and look forward to seeing where her research and passion for inclusive marketing will lead next.
