When I was appointed as the inaugural president of CT State Community College, we are in the midst of adjusting to the new normal in higher education. With that in mind, I began my tenure with the words stabilize, build, thrive. I’ve voiced that mantra from day one, June 3rd, when I officially started my journey with CT State.
00:00:25:16 - 00:00:56:21CT State logo fades into colored boxes alternating with photos from different campuses. Different photos and videos of students in classrooms and labs. Map of CT pans in and different campus locations pop up around map. Videos of campuses and students again.These initial themes center around the sheer volume of work, concerns, debate and unknowns stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and the consolidation of our community colleges. It also brings our attention to the future of this developing statewide and comprehensive community college, where equitable outcomes, access and quality education for the residents of Connecticut are paramount. A culture of care and leading with grace are germane to my approach as your president.

More photos of Dr. Maduko visiting campuses and meeting with various students, faculty and staff slide through.My first few months with CT State and the 12 legacy community colleges have been both eventful and gratifying. I often say that there is never a dull moment in Connecticut. That statement is supported by the litany of activities across our campuses and communities. But every activity, event or engagement has proven to be an opportunity for me to appreciate the greatness of our scholars, practitioners, advocates and students.
