Congratulations to Business Administration senior Hailey Abate on her recent presentation at the 2026 National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in Richmond, Virginia, held April 13–15!

NCUR is a unique event that brings together student scholars from institutions of higher learning to celebrate and promote undergraduate student achievement. Hailey was one of 11 Eastern Connecticut State University students selected to attend this three-day conference.

Her poster presentation, “Connecticut Wine Tourism Amidst a Changing Climate: Opportunity or Threat,” examined how climate change creates both challenges and opportunities for Connecticut’s wine tourism industry. Hailey presented her research during the poster session on April 15.

Congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment, Hailey!

Our University program recently hosted From Hustle to Leadership: How Three Entrepreneurs Built Their Futures, featuring Drew DiSilvestro of AmeriTech Contracting, Judy Flynn of Fresh Monkee, and Connor Crouse of IronFlex Fitness.

The panel explored each speaker’s entrepreneurial journey, from getting started in their industries to navigating risk, adapting to challenges, and learning when to pivot. Across the discussion, themes of resilience, consistency, and growth stood out.

A sincere thank you to Drew DiSilvestro, Judy Flynn, and Connor Crouse for sharing their time, insights, and experiences with our campus community.
