AUBURN — Students in the Life Sciences Honors Program at Central Maine Community College (CMCC) recently attended the Northeast Regional Honors Council Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The theme was “Bridging the Divide: Contemplating Differences and Forging Commonalities.”
Samuel Moreau, Fanie Wabwende, Deanna Doyon and Emily Dingman, along with instructor Diana Drown, participated in the conference, and Dingman shared a poster presentation of her capstone project, “Healthcare and Earthcare: Bridging the Divide Between Medicine and Climate Change.”
Doyon described the conference as “truly an amazing and inspiring experience. Honors is not just about doing extra credit. It is about coming together, finding a common thread, and collaborating for a common goal. The goal is to feed each other intellectually and enrich our lives.”
The Life Sciences program at CMCC provides a broad survey of scientifically accumulated knowledge focused on life and biological sciences. Students completing the degree can enter the workforce as scientific technicians or transfer into science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) majors at four-year colleges and universities.
