Local students at the State University of New York College of Oneonta have recently distinguished themselves in several arenas:

— DelaneyAnn Martin, of Altamont, was one of seven students to receive a Scholarship Award from SUNY Oneonta’s Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Martin, who is studying meteorology, received the Chance Imperato Scholarship Award.

—  Isabella M. Serafini of Schenectady, a marketing major; Joelle Lisboa of Voorheesville; and Natalia M. Boilard of Schenectady, a psychology major, were each awarded a Merit Scholarship.

—  Lillian C. Talmage of Delmar, who is majoring in cognitive science, was awarded a Deans’ Scholarship, recognizing past academic achievement and potential for success;

— Liam McMahan of Schenectady, a software engineering major, and Angela Gocs-Yowell of Voorheesville, a broadcasting and mass communication major, were each awarded a Presidential Scholarship, given to a select group of students who started at the college in fall 2018; and
