What's Happening On Campus For South Windsor College Students

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

Eastern Connecticut State University, Willimantic CT

• Nineteen Eastern Connecticut State University biology students traveled to San Salvador Island in the Bahamas from May 14 to May 25 to study tropical biology. Students were accompanied by Biology Professors Kristen Epp, Brett Mattingly and Josh Idjadi. During their trip they examined the ecology of marine and terrestrial organisms. Among the students were South Windsor residents Vincent Brown and Alicia Robino, who both major in Biology. The students' marine studies focused on coral reefs, sea grass beds, mangroves and rocky shore communities. Terrestrial studies examined caves, mud flats, sand dunes and upland shrub communities. Students visited Oyster Pond and observed a vent through which the water in the pond communicates tidally with the ocean. They also visited a cave to see native bats and other local creatures, including an endemic isopod. The 10-day field experience was headquartered at Gerace Research Centre (GRC) from which students ventured daily; nightly lab sessions and discussions supplemented each day's field observations.
