The road race will begin at 9 a.m. at North Haven High School, and participants can opt for the 5K or 1-mile run.

Recently, North Haven Garden Club Junior Gar den Club kids met in doors at United Faith Methodist Church due to rainy weather. It was a blessing in disguise since we needed to start our work on the kids’ latest project, getting our scarecrows ready for the North Haven Garden Club Scarecrow Contest. We crumpled up a

Connecticut’s Newest College Now Accepting Applications

On October 1, Connecticut State Community College began accepting applications for the Fall 2023 semes ter. CT State, as it is more commonly known, is the result of the pending consolidation of Connecticut’s 12 community colleges. The merger will become official July 1, 2023.

Students can apply online and choose any CT State location. Classes will be held on campus, online or as hybrids for maximum flexibility when design ing a course schedule. Services for students will also be available both in person and virtually.

“We are excited to welcome the first CT State students, both those new to our campuses and the thousands returning in the fall. This new college – whose foundations are built on over 60 years of academic excellence and student success delivered by the best community college system in the nation – will help Connecticut’s resi dents achieve their educational goals, while meeting the state’s workforce needs,” said Middlesex Community College Interim CEO Kimberly A. Hogan.

Connecticut’s 12 community colleges serve approximately 60,000 students a year. As one institution, CT State will be the largest community college in New England and one of the largest in the nation, as well as the leading provider of higher education in Con necticut.

Students will have access to all the programs, services and support that

are available today but will benefit from access to classes on any campus without having to reapply or trans fer. Aligned statewide programs also means that prerequisites and courses required to earn certificates and asso ciate degrees are consistent.

Access to free community college through PACT will continue to be available to Connecticut high school graduates who have never attended college before. Accessing PACT and financial aid start with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at FAFSA.gov. (Students planning to start in Fall 2023 should use school code 007635.)

CT State will continue to offer a full array of non-credit programs and classes for personal and professional development at its many campuses. Additionally, students can enjoy lec tures, readings, concerts, intramurals and other student and community enrichment activities.

Each of the 12 CT State campuses have dedicated admissions, financial aid and advising staff that can help students navigate the enrollment pro cess. Assistance is available in person, online or on each location’s website.

La Universidad Más Nueva de Connecticut Ya Está Aceptando Aplicaciones

Este 1 de octubre, Connecticut State Community College comenzó a aceptar aplicaciones para el semestre de otoño de 2023. CT State, como es frecuentemente conocido, es el resul tado de la consolidación pendiente de las 12 universidades comunitarias de Connecticut. La unión será oficial el 1 de julio de 2023.

Los estudiantes pueden inscribirse en línea y escoger cualquier localidad de CT State. Las clases se llevarán a cabo en el mismo campus, en línea, o en modo híbrido para mayor flexibilidad cuando esté planificando su calen dario de cursos. Los servicios para los estudiantes también estarán dis ponibles en persona o virtualmente. “Estamos emocionados de poder darle la bienvenida a los primeros estudiantes de CT State, los que son nuevos en nuestros campus, y los que están regresando este otoño. Esta nueva universidad - cuyos cimientos se construyeron sobre más de 60 años de excelencia académica y estudian til, por el mejor sistema de universi dades comunitarias en la nación - le ayudará a los residentes de Connecti cut a lograr sus metas educativas, y a la vez satisfaciendo las necesidades de la fuerza laboral,” dijo Kimberly A. Hogan, Directora Ejecutiva Interina de Middlesex Community College. Las 12 universidades comunitarias de Connecticut sirven a aproxima damente 60,000 estudiantes al año. Como una institución, CT State será la universidad comunitaria más grande en New England y una de las más grandes en la nación, así como el principal proveedor de educación superior en Connecticut.

Los estudiantes tendrán acceso a todos los programas, servicios y apoyos que ya están disponibles, pero se beneficiarán del acceso a las clases en cualquier campus sin tener que aplicar o transferirse. El alinear los programas a nivel estatal significa que los requisitos y los cursos necesarios para obtener las certificaciones y los títulos asociados serán consistentes. El acceso a la universidad comunitar ia gratuita por medio de PACT seguirá estando disponible a los graduados de las escuelas preparatorias de Connecticut que no han asistido a la universidad anteriormente. El primer paso para acceder a PACT y a la asis tencia financiera es completar la Free Application for Federal Student Aid en FAFSA.gov. (Los estudiantes con planes de comenzar en el otoño de 2023 deben usar el código 007635.)

CT State continuará ofreciendo una gama completa de programas que no otorgan créditos y clases (non-cred it programs and classes) para el desarrollo personal y profesional en sus múltiples campus. Además, los estudiantes pueden disfrutar de lec ciones, lecturas, conciertos, deportes intramuros, y otras actividades de enriquecimiento para los estudiantes y la comunidad.

Cada uno de los 12 campus de CT State tiene personal dedicado a la admisión, asistencia financiera y consejería, que le puede ayudar a los estudiantes a recorrer el proceso de inscripción. Hay asistencia disponible en persona, en línea o en el sitio web de cada localidad. Haga clic aquí para más información: CTState.edu.
