Cecilia Gigliotti Selected as Presidential Fellow at Susquehanna University

2014 Sep 18

Cecilia Gigliotti, of New Britain, Ct., was selected to be a Presidential Fellow for the 2014-15 academic year at Susquehanna University.

Each year, approximately 20 sophomore students are selected to be Presidential Fellows. Deans and department heads nominate students who they feel have the academic ability, enthusiasm and interest to benefit from co-curricular discussions of literature, theater and current events.

During the course of the year, the fellows are assigned two books to read and then discuss with University President L. Jay Lemons, his wife Marsha and other selected faculty and staff. The experience culminates in a trip, usually to New York City or Washington, D.C., to attend a theater production and perhaps interact with an author or artist.

A sophomore creative writing major, Gigliotti is a 2013 graduate of New Britain High School and the daughter of Gilbert Gigliotti and Martha Perry.
