Eastern Connecticut State University's English Department recently hosted English Night -- students displayed research posters, showcased senior seminar presentations and were presented with awards for outstanding performance.

Amanda DeMaio '17 of Niantic was honored at the event. DeMaio's major is English.

DeMaio was honored for "Contributions to the Cultural Life of the Campus." She was honored based on her active involvement as a writer and editor for "Eastern Exposure," the campus literary magazine.

"The students honored exemplified the kind of engaged scholars and university citizens we hope all our students will become -- all of the students are very deserving of these honors," said English Professor and Department Chair Barbara Liu.

"English Night gives professors and students a chance to reflect together at the end of the year's journey and gives everyone in attendance a chance to witness the wide array of excellent work being done within the English Department," said English Professor Daniel Donaghy.
