Dear Members of the CT State Community,
On my first official day as your College President, I am pleased and excited to share that today, Friday, August 1, the State Bond Commission approved funding of more than $29.6M for two important CT State capital projects: the renovation of B-Wing at CT State Norwalk and the design for renovations at Kinney Hall at CT State Naugatuck Valley.
These approvals mark a critical step forward in our commitment to deliver high-quality, equitable, and workforce-aligned education to communities across Connecticut. Both B-Wing and Kinney Hall are far more than buildings; they are foundational spaces that support student success, academic innovation, and regional economic development.

Dear Members of the CT State Community,
Ahead of my official August 1 start date, I want to express my genuine excitement to join Connecticut State Community College as your Interim College President, and to thank Interim Chancellor Maduko for his leadership, vision, and entrusting me with this opportunity. From my earliest conversations with leaders across the system, I’ve been inspired by the passion, perseverance, and resilience that define the CT State community — and I am energized to now be part of it.
