John R. St. Denny of Bridgeport has been awarded a St. Lawrence University Fellowship for a summer 2017 research project.
St. Denny is a member of the Class of 2018 and is majoring in geology. St. Denny attended Cicero-North Syracuse High School. St. Denny received the Dr. J.

The St. Lawrence University Fellows program aims to provide new opportunities for student intellectual growth.
