Belmont University, Nashville TN

• Lauren Law and Michael Rooney of Simsbury achieved the Dean's List at Belmont University for the fall 2018 semester. Eligibility is based on a minimum course load of 12 hours and a quality grade point average of 3.5 with no grade below a C. Approximately 35 percent of Belmont's 8,318 students qualified for the fall 2018 Dean's List.

Muhlenberg College, Allentown PA

• Muhlenberg College's New Voices / New Visions theater festival, which ran Nov. 28 - Dec. 2, featured three new and innovative short plays - "Still Growing Up," "The Repair Man" and "Am I Blue." All the plays in this year's festival were written and directed by women, most of whom are current Muhlenberg students or alumni. The plays also showcased the talents of student cast and crew members. "The Repair Man" centers around a young, depressed, Jewish woman named Nick who is visited by a dishwasher repairman who wants to fix more than just her dishwasher. Anna Ricciuti from West Simsbury was the director.
