Campus Notes - Farmington Students

FARMINGTON, CT — Here are some milestones and accomplishments achieved recently by college students from Farmington, as provided by readMedia Newswire.

Dean College, Franklin MA

• The School of the Arts at Dean College will perform A Midsummer Night's Dream, beginning Wednesday, February 22, 2017 through Sunday, February 26, 2017. Dean College is proud to announce that Mollianne Delaney of Unionville will have a principal role in the production. A Midsummer Night's Dream is perhaps the best loved of Shakespeare's plays. It brings together the realms of the mortal and immortal, colliding in a wood outside Athens, and from there the enchantment begins. Simple and engaging on the surface, it is none the less a highly original and sophisticated work, where love is capricious as the wind, and where a mischievous imp named Puck plays with fate as merrily as a baby with a toy.

Eastern Connecticut State University, Willimantic CT

• Three students and one faculty member from Eastern Connecticut State University were awarded at the NASA Connecticut Space Grant Consortium meeting this past November. Among the students was Christina Welch of Farmington, who received a scholarship for her research on the brain's ability to self-repair. "It was once believed that if you damaged or injured your brain it could not self-repair," said Welch. "However, as the field of science advances, this theory is being challenged. Receiving this scholarship will provide me with opportunities for additional research experiences and growth in the field of science." Eastern students were three of the 17 student recipients at the November meeting.
