SWAMPSCOTT, MA — Due to this year's extended break between the fall and spring semesters, Hamilton College's Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center offered students the opportunity to spend the time conducting research. Emma Tomlins, of Swampscott, was among the more than 80 students who participated in the program. Tomlins worked with other Hamilton students on a group project titled "New World Nature Medicine and Empire in the Early Modern Atlantic World." A sophomore majoring in classical studies and history, she is a graduate of Buckingham, Browne & Nichols School. Established in 1980 and named in honor of long-time New York State public servant Arthur Levitt, the Levitt Center supports initiatives and provides resources that enable students and faculty to engage in public service and public policy through research, service-learning, lectures, discussion, and practice. Levitt Center programming is open to students and faculty across all disciplines and departments and is organized around programs that encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and discussion, as well as innovative and positive social change. The University of Rhode Island announced nine Swampscott students achieved Dean's List honors during the fall semester. To be included on the Dean's List, full-time students must have completed 12 or more credits for letter grades during a semester and achieved at least a 3.30 quality point average. Part-time students qualify with the accumulation of 12 or more credits for letter grades earning at least a 3.30 quality point average. Swampscott students on the Dean's List included: Natalia Altonian, Ashley Bucklin, Bridget Cullinane, Sean Lahrizi, Matt Mauriello, Max Solone, A.J. Venuti, Hannah Vernava and Rachael Weiss.
