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.

Catherine Allegretti '17 of Bolton was honored at the event. Allegretti's major is English and Communication.

Allegretti received the "Service to the Department" award. The award is presented to students who help with departmental projects, coordinated events and/or organized student clubs that connect to literature or writing.

"I feel honored to have been chosen for this award -- it really means so much to me. The English Department is like home to me and I have so much respect and appreciation for every faculty member I've had the privilege of working with," said Allegretti.

"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.
