  • Connecticut in the US Civil War Matthew Warshauer ’90
    CENTRAL Summer 2010 the magazine for alumni & friends of central connecticutfocus state university Connecticut in the US Civil War Matthew Warshauer ’90 The Evolving Social Landscape of Northern Ireland • Connecticut Drug Policy PRESIDENT’S CORNER We are making our final preparations for opening the new academic year at Central, and we’re looking forward to a very active and exciting year for the campus community as well as for the wider central Connecticut region. Our incoming first-year class appears to be one of our most able groups ever. On average, their high school ranking is up 2 percentile points over last year’s, making it the highest level on record. It’s good to know that, according to the Princeton Review in its latest edition of The Best Northeastern Colleges, these students will find that CCSU offers a “host” of strong academic programs, including “solid study abroad options” and “ample undergraduate research opportunities.” The Review also reports there is “a very welcoming atmosphere” and our small class sizes “make it easier to have one-to-one communications” with professors. All of these are conditions that support student success, and we’ve worked hard to develop them. In addition to our new academic programs in journalism, nursing, and civil engineering, students can become involved in our growing community engagement programs. As you may remember, the University formally adopted community engagement as one of its core elements of distinctiveness. During the coming year, I expect new opportunities to emerge for students and faculty to interact with the community beyond campus for the benefit of both the community and the students’ learning.

  • Solar on Connecticut Schools: Why Not on Yours?
    Solar on Connecticut Schools Why not on yours? The purpose of this report is to encourage you, as a member of a school board, school administrator, or member of the public, to consider putting solar on (or next to) your school. Schools with solar save money on their electric bills, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and provide an onsite educational opportunity for their students. As Connecticut looks to meet its ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, solar energy has played a significant and rapidly growing role. Across the state, schools have shown clear leadership. At last count, over 100 schools have installed sizeable solar arrays on their rooftops, parking lots and land. Yet, these 100 schools represent less than 10% of the schools in the state, so the potential for further installations of clean energy is immense Nayaug Elementary, Glastonbury, CT With their typically substantial flat roofs, large parking lots and high electricity demand, schools are excellent candidates for solar installations. As the cost of solar panels and their installation plummets, schools have been able to reduce their electricity bills, shifting funds to their primary purpose: educating our youth. In fact, school solar arrays invariably work their way into the school curriculum, providing a powerful, tangible educational tool. Other CT Schools as a Resource Our report includes a list of over 100 Connecticut schools with solar arrays larger than 60 kW. In total, these arrays represent a combined installed capacity of over 17 megawatts, capable of producing over 20 million kWh per year. We created the list to help you find schools that have already installed solar.

  • State Department of Education Announces High School AYP
    NEWS Connecticut Department of Education Dr. Betty J. Sternberg, Commissioner EMBARGOED September 7, 2005 State Department of Education Announces High School AYP (Hartford, Connecticut) – Seventy-two percent (130 out of 181) of Connecticut’s high schools achieved the standards for adequate yearly progress (AYP) under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act based on performance on the 2005 Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT). This year, high schools had to reach a higher benchmark in the percentage of students scoring at or above proficient than in previous years. For the last three years, at least 59 percent of the students tested needed to score at or above proficient in mathematics and 62 percent needed to score at or above proficient in reading. This year, high schools had to meet the following standards: o 69 percent of students must be proficient in mathematics; o 72 percent must be proficient in reading; o 70 percent of students graduate; and o 95 percent must participate in CAPT testing. Under NCLB regulations, the targets at or above proficient must increase at intervals until 2014, when 100 percent of all students are expected to be proficient. The graduation rate and participation rate requirements will remain constant. “While the standard went up 10 percentage points in each subject, the overall impact on the number of schools that did not meet AYP was minimal,” said Commissioner of Education Betty J. Sternberg. “While this is good news, we must sustain our collective efforts to help schools not making AYP and ensure that all students achieve at high levels.” A total of 51 high schools did not make AYP.

    NEWS TO KNOW A NEWSLETTER FOR THE UCONN ECE COMMUNITY WINTER 2017 The Development Plan By Brian Boecherer The audience was riveted. Our guest speaker for the October Political Science workshop, Professor Akhil Reed Amar, lit- up the room with his conversation on the election. The last time the country was in a similar position was 1864, he said, when the election had the chance of pulling all four levers of government in the same political direction. Prof. Amar clarified that in this election, just like in Lincoln’s second campaign, it is completely possible to have a result where the president, the House, and the Senate could all shift to either completely Democratic or Republican controlled. If this were to happen, the nominee for Justice Antonin Scalia’s position would also be from the party in power. The next justice, who will be nominated and elected under the new government, Maritime Studies Workshop held at the Connecticut River Museum in will shift the balance of power.
