WILLIMANTIC, CT (04/24/2012)(readMedia)-- Salome Miclette '12 of Baltic, CT, was one of four students to represent Eastern Connecticut State University at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research in Ogden, UT in March. Miclette is a Communication major.

Eastern Connecticut State University communication students presented their work and projects at this year's NCUR on March 29. Those students included Miclette, who presented her thesis, "Cosmopolitan Magazine and the Second Wave Feminist Movement: A Cross Cultural Analysis."

Miclette, who is also in Eastern's Honors Program, theorized that women's magazines have the ability to change and shape women's roles in society. Her research looks at feminist activity in both the United Kingdom and the United States during the 1960s, and addresses issues such as reproductive rights, the fight for political power and equality in the workplace.

"Going to the National Conference on Undergraduate Research in Utah was an amazing experience for me that allowed me to meet with students and faculty from across the country who were interested in my research," said Miclette. "Being able to present my thesis to a national audience was very exciting and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to do so."

Eastern Connecticut State University is the state's public liberal arts university and serves more than 5,500 students each year on its Willimantic campus and at its satellite locations.
