Recently, the CT State Tunxis Office of Disability and Accessibility Services celebrated International Week of Deaf People with an interactive event focused on ASL and Deaf culture! 🤟✨

Students, faculty, and staff learned basic signs and fingerspelling. From practicing signing “Hello, my name is…” to learning about Deaf etiquette and communicating through an interpreter, the event was all about embracing the different ways we communicate, connect, and belong.

Attendees also left their initials in finger-spelling on the ODAS “Belong Board,” creating a lasting visual reminder of the connections made!

ODAS has your back for your disability and accessibility questions, needs, and requests! If you have any questions or want to learn more, follow this link (https://bit.ly/47FCVec) or reach out to Debbie Kosior at [email protected].

Thi Nguyen, a Tunxis Dental Hygiene student, has been on an impressive journey to reach where she is now.

Originally from Vietnam, she moved to the United States planning to start a career in finance—but she soon found that something wasn’t working. Thi wanted to find a profession she felt mattered to her. Where she felt she belonged and her skills could be put to their best use.

Through friends, she heard about CT State Tunxis—specifically about the Dental Hygiene Program—and so she gave it a shot. After enrolling in classes, she was immediately impressed by how welcoming the Tunxis community was to people who were new to the area. She found a community that welcomed her for who she is, taking full advantage of the office hours and engaged faculty at Tunxis, who she felt were “always there to help if she felt lost or needed help understanding something.”

Thi has been highlighted by students and faculty alike for her dedication, commitment, and ability to make a meaningful impact on the community. To highlight Thi’s hard work, Professor of Dental Hygiene Rachel Greene announced that Thi will be the recipient of the Sparkler Award! Which, as Greene stated, “celebrates a student who consistently demonstrates outstanding professionalism, teamwork, and leadership in the clinic through their interactions with patients, peers, and faculty.”

Now, with plans to continue as a healthcare professional, she looks forward to completing her bachelor’s degree after her time at Tunxis. Thank you for your commitment, insight, and impact on our community, Thi! Your future is bright.

Today, we want to highlight the talented David C. Jackson, a CT State Tunxis Guided Pathways Advisor, accomplished artist, and asset to the community!

Jackson was recently honored at the 2026 100 Men of Color Black Tie Gala & Awards Ceremony at The Bushnell in Hartford!

The annual event recognizes 100 outstanding men of color from across Connecticut and Western Massachusetts for their leadership, professional achievements, and contributions to their communities.

But Jackson’s work in the community doesn’t stop there. As an Artist of Color Accelerator (AOCA) Fellow, Jackson is partnering with Charter Oak Cultural Center through June 2027 to advance artistic work that promotes community engagement, cultural reflection, and social change.

We couldn’t be prouder and are, as always, very grateful to have such influential community members in our very own community at Tunxis! Congratulations, David! You’ve earned it.

Get ready for a solo exhibition by West Hartford artist Brian McClear!

Join us in experiencing Still Matters, an exhibition of contemporary still life paintings by Brian McClear. The opening reception will be on Thursday, October 1, from 5–7 p.m. in the Barnes-Franklin Gallery. Free and open to the public, it isn’t an event you’ll want to miss.

“Through clever compositions of everyday objects—vintage toys, tools, and familiar items—McClear’s work uses humor, nostalgia, and unexpected juxtapositions to reflect on current political, social, and environmental concerns. A timely show indeed.” —Arthur Simoes, Barnes-Franklin Gallery Director

Can’t make it for the opening reception? The exhibition will be on view at the Barnes-Franklin Gallery at CT State Tunxis from October 1 through November 5, 2026.
