We're proud to spotlight Dean Jason Scappaticci, who will be interviewing acclaimed historian Fergus Bordewich this month at the Mark Twain House & Museum.

Their conversation will center on Bordewich's latest book, exploring the 1876 Centennial Exhibition and the pivotal moment in American history it captured.

Dean Scappaticci has been in higher education since 2003, dedicating his career to supporting students at CT State Manchester (formerly Manchester Community College) and now here at CT State Capital. Outside the campus, he's also known around Hartford as "The Bowtie Historian," giving public lectures on topics ranging from Hartford's architectural history to America's Gilded Age. We're proud to see him bring that same passion for history and education into the community.

This event is hosted by one of our valued community partners, the Mark Twain House & Museum, and is free and open to all CT State students, staff, and faculty.

📅 July 21 | 7:00–8:00 PM

CT State Capital was proud to attend the Greater Hartford Alliance of Black Social Workers Juneteenth Scholarship Breakfast, where Dr. Sharale Mathis, President of Capital and Tunxis, served as the guest speaker. Faculty and staff from CT State Capital joined community leaders, advocates, and supporters in celebrating this meaningful occasion.

The event highlighted educational achievement, community leadership, and the ongoing pursuit of opportunity through scholarship and service. We are grateful to the Greater Hartford Alliance of Black Social Workers for bringing the community together in recognition of Juneteenth and its enduring significance.

Juneteenth is more than a holiday. It is a testament to freedom, resilience, and the enduring power of community.

As an institution rooted in Hartford and built on the promise of access and opportunity for all, we honor the generations who fought, and continue to fight, for the right to learn, grow, and thrive. Their legacy lives in this city and in every student who walks through our doors.

CT State Capital will be closed on Thursday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth. We invite our students, faculty, and community to celebrate, reflect, and connect. Find Juneteenth events happening across Connecticut here: [https://bit.ly/43cJliO] 🖤❤️💚
