FARMINGTON, CT — Here are some recent notable accomplishments by local college students, as provided by readMedia Newswire.

Eastern Connecticut State University, Willimantic CT

• Andrea Slater of Farmington recently completed an internship at the Connecticut Trolley Museum. Slater's major is History and Sociology. Her internship entailed doing an inventory and creating a cataloging system for the museum's extensive book collection. She also also helped at various museum events and worked with docents to assist and educate visitors. Slater also previously completed an internship at the Stanley-Whitman House in Farmington. She believes that working at both museums helped her learn different, yet equally important, skills. Slater plans to pursue a master's degree in library information science in order to be able to procure a position at a museum or library.
