Recognition for Windham College Students

With the school year coming to a close for local college students, more are being recognized for their accomplishments in the classroom.

Windham residents attending Quinnipiac, Keene State, Northeastern and Maryland have all recently received recognition for their hard work.

Victoria Sheppard, who is currently attending QU, was inducted into the Upsilon Omicron chapter of Tri Beta, which is the National Biological Honor Society. 

This took place during a recent campus ceremony.

The university issued a statement detailing the background of Tri Beta:

Tri Beta is a society for students dedicated to improving their understanding and appreciation of biological study and extended boundaries of human knowledge through scientific research. Since its founding in 1922, more than 200,000 persons have been accepted into lifetime membership, and more than 550 chapters have been established throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

Keene State College also recently held its commencement, and five Windham residents were among the 1,107 students who graduated.

The graduating class was the biggest in the school's history.

Daniel Bayrouty, Mark Crowley, Erin Gass, Abby Hajec and John O'Sullivan all received their degrees.

Windham resident Sahil Maripuri was also named to the Dean's List at Northeastern University in Boston, Mass.

Swaitha Maripuri was named to the Dean's List at the University of Maryland, College Park.

We will continue to feature Windham students and their accomplishments over the next few weeks.
