Vision Statement Tunxis Community College will be a vibrant educational and cultural center responsive to current as well as emerging student and community needs. Accreditation Statement Tunxis Community College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC), a non-governmental, nationally-recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering postgraduate instruction. Accreditation of an institution by NEASC indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by NEASC is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding the status of the institution’s accreditation by NEASC should be directed to the administrative staff of the College. Individuals may also contact NEASC at 209 Burlington Road, Bedford, Massachusetts 01730-1433.

  • Hispanic-Serving Institutions (Hsis): 2019-20
    Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs): 2019-20 The mission of Excelencia in Education is to accelerate Latino student success in higher education. A critical group of institutions enrolling and graduating Latino students are Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). Summary of the 2019-20 HSI List In the 1980s, leaders recognized a small set of institutions enrolled a large percentage of Latino students but had low levels of resources to educate these students. The classification of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) formally recognized these institutions for capacity-building and other support. HSIs are defined as accredited, degree-granting public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education with 25% or more total undergraduate Hispanic full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment.1 In 2019-20, 569 institutions met the enrollment definition of HSIs. HSIs represent 18% of colleges/universities and enroll 67% of Latino undergraduates. The list of institutions identified as HSIs in this analysis is not intended to designate eligibility for any specific program; rather, the list is meant to assist in considering and analyzing the institutions that meet the basic legislative definition of a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The following list of HSIs was created using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).2 Location Sector State/Location # HSIs Sector # HSIs % HSIs California 175 Public, 2-year 235 41% Texas 100 Private not-for-profit, 4-year or above 169 30% Puerto Rico 64 Public, 4-year or above 150 26%

    For Immediate Release Contact: Leigh E. Knopf, APR, Director of Marketing and Public Relations 4 September 2003 Tele.: 860.679.9552; Fax: 679.9677; e-mail: [email protected] SEE ATTACHED PHOTO Scholarship Fund Honors Memory of Jean Lewis, Tunxis professor of dental hygiene Lewis was resident of Newtown Contributions are now being accepted to the “D. Jean Lewis Memorial Scholarship Fund,” established by Tunxis Community College Foundation in honor of the College’s professor of dental hygiene, who passed away in August at age 71. “The fund was set up in esteem of Jean’s life and her many achievements at Tunxis Community College and in the community,” said Colleen Keyes, Tunxis dean of academic affairs. Contributions will fund student scholarships at the College. A graduate of Columbia University and Yale University, Lewis retired from the University of Bridgeport in 1985, joining the faculty of Tunxis Community College in 1987. Tunxis Community College conducts a community-based teaching program that enables students to work and study in dental clinics around the state, under supervision of faculty. These clinics are the first line of oral health care for thousands of uninsured patients. While at Tunxis, Lewis served in many community outreach programs providing dental hygiene to underprivileged children. Among the sites for these programs were Hartford Public Schools; New Britain Public Schools; Hospital for Special Care, New Britain; Connecticut Children's Medical Center, Pediatric AIDS Unit; Foster Care, New Britain and Bristol areas; Day Care Centers in Bristol, Terryville, Plymouth; Head Start Programs, Hartford and New Britain areas; and The Upper Room, New Britain.

  • An Alumnus of Tunxis, Kevin Witkos Understands the Value of Community Colleges
    For Immediate Release Contact: Leigh E. Knopf, APR, Director of Marketing and Public Relations 3 May 2005 Tele.: 860.255.3775; Fax: 255.3417; e-mail: [email protected] PHOTO ATTACHED AN ALUMNUS OF TUNXIS, KEVIN WITKOS UNDERSTANDS THE VALUE OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES Kevin Witkos understands the value of Connecticut’s Community Colleges. State Representative of the 17th District (Avon, Canton), Witkos earned an associate in science degree in criminal justice from Tunxis Community College in 1996. “Connecticut Community Colleges are a great beginning to undergraduate education,” said Witkos. “My experiences at Tunxis Community College in the criminal justice program have helped me grow personally and professionally as a Police Sergeant and State Legislator.” Connecticut’s economic growth depends on the education level and earning power of its workforce. With nearly 50% of the state’s public college and university undergraduates enrolled at the 12 community colleges, Connecticut’s students and businesses benefit. On average in 2002, the typical graduate of a Connecticut Community College occupational program earned nearly $13,000 additional annual income six months after program completion. A person who has earned an associate’s degree can earn $400,000 more in his or her lifetime. Over 90% of Connecticut Community College students are from Connecticut and remain in Connecticut. Approximately 40,000 live, work, pay taxes and contribute to the state’s quality of life. Every $1.00 invested in Connecticut Community Colleges creates $4.00 to $6.00 in return in payroll, taxes, goods and services purchased. Courses at Connecticut’s Community Colleges are the most affordable of any segment of higher education.
