Campus Notes - Suffield College Students

SUFFIELD, CT — Here are some recent notable achievements for college students from Suffield, as reported by readMedia Newswire.

Loyola University Maryland, Baltimore MD

• Benjamin Bailey, a member of the class of 2020 from Suffield, has been named to the fall 2016 Dean's List at Loyola University Maryland. In order to qualify for the Dean's List at Loyola, a student must achieve a minimum QPA of at least 3.500 for the term, provided that, in the term they have successfully completed courses totaling a minimum of 15 credits.

Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester NY

• Benjamin Cheng of Suffield named to the RIT Dean's List for the fall 2016-2017 semester. Benjamin is studying in the new media interactive development program. Degree-seeking undergraduate students are eligible for Dean's List if their term GPA is greater than or equal to 3.400; they do not have any grades of "Incomplete", "D" or "F"; and they have registered for, and completed, at least 12 credit hours.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester MA

• Emma Ryan of West Suffield, a member of the class of 2018 majoring in mechanical engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), was a member of a student team that recently completed an intense, hands-on research project in Albania. The project was titled Determining Preferences for Activities at the Albanian Adventure Resort. In their project outline, the students wrote, "Our project, through a free listing exercise and survey, identified adventure activities to make the resort an attractive destination." At WPI, all undergraduates are required to complete a research-driven, professional-level project that applies science and technology to addresses an important societal need or issue. About two-thirds of students complete a project at one of the university's more than 40 off-campus project centers, which are located around the world. A signature element of the innovative undergraduate experience at WPI, the project-based curriculum offers students the opportunity to apply their scientific and technical knowledge to develop thoughtful solutions to real problems that affect the quality of people's lives-and make a difference before they graduate.
