Deepening our partnerships with area schools, Trinity IDP was the proud supporter of Northwestern CT Community College's "campaign to complete," this spring. IDP's Roberta Rogers was invited to speak at NWCCC's PTK Induction Ceremony, this past Friday, and presented IDP's gift to one lucky Northwestern student who had, earlier this year, committed to completing his degree. Roberta is joined in the photo with, from L to R, NWCCC's Professor Crystal Wiggins, Professor Todd Bryda, and lucky iPad recipient, Bill. Proud of Bill and all the new NWCCC PTK inductees!
