2017 Jan 24

Three students and one faculty member from Eastern Connecticut State University were awarded at the NASA Connecticut Space Grant Consortium meeting this past November.

Among the students was Christina Welch '17 of Farmington, who received a scholarship for her research on the brain's ability to self-repair. Welch majors in Pre-Secondary Educ Certifictn.

"It was once believed that if you damaged or injured your brain it could not self-repair," said Welch. "However, as the field of science advances, this theory is being challenged. Receiving this scholarship will provide me with opportunities for additional research experiences and growth in the field of science."
