Student Life

Alex Cross ’12

Alex is the dean of students at American International College in Springfield, MA. “My experiences as a double major and resident assistant (RA) led me to a job in the career field I wanted, helped me develop lifelong mentors, and made me marketable across the field.”

Brian Magna ’83

Brian Magna ’83

“At first, I wanted to be a dentist, but along the way, Coach Clyde Washburn opened my eyes to athletic training, physical therapy and the spirit of teamwork. Today, I own my own sports medicine business. Students need to take advantage of all that Eastern has to offer to make the most of their education in preparation for future careers.”

Nelson Javier Ferrer
Biology

Nelson Javier Ferrer ’22

Nelson is a first-generation college student who received the Barnard Award, the highest academic recognition of the Connecticut state universities. “I knew going to college was the only option if I was going to change the cycle of poverty my family had endured for generations. Being recognized for the Henry Barnard award has taught me that hard work really does pay off.”

Christine DeFilippo ’13

Christine teachers in the Sachem Central and Connetquot School Districts in New York City. “Eastern taught me the communication, critical thinking and analytical skills needed to be a successful teacher.

Richard Cutting ’09
Cutting Edge Chiropractic

Richard Cutting ’09

Richard has a private practice as a chiropractor at Cutting Edge Chiropractic.

Kaylee Blackwood ’21

Winner of the Celia Catlett Prize for her senior English capstone project, Kaylee is now editor at Biolumina, a full-service, omnichannel global healthcare agency. Kaylee’s winning capstone project was the novel, “Once We Meet,” characterized by her professor as “a second-person perspective that is nothing short of masterful. Once of the best novels I’ve read in a long time, period.”

Eugene Bertrand
Documentary Film

Eugene Bertrand ’24

Eugene received a grant to develop a documentary about the migrant labor that drove Connecticut’s tobacco industry. “As someone with a Caribbean background, I think it’s vital to understand the impact that Caribbean people have made to Connecticut… Contributing to this documentary is a way to thank my ancestors for all the hard work they’ve put in the past to ensure I had a better future.”

Leigh Generous ’19
Political Science

Leigh Generous ’19

Leigh is in quality assurance/quality control at American Distilling. “I worked as an intern at the Organization of American States (OAS), where hemispheric events are monitored, discussed, and analyzed in real-time. I feel incredibly lucky to be on the front lines of international relations. It was fascinating to witness transactions between the OAS and heads of state from member countries as they finalize agreements.”
