Vision Statement Tunxis Community College will be a vibrant educational and cultural center responsive to current as well as emerging student and community needs. Equity Vision Statement Tunxis Community College is committed to dismantling the barriers facing underserved students, focusing on policies, practices and behaviors that ultimately support all students. Student Success Statement Tunxis Community College is committed to helping all student set and achieve their personal and professional goals, resulting in degree and certificate completion, transfer pathways, personal enrichment, and career success. Accreditation Statement Tunxis Community College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the New England Commission of Higher Education indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process. An accredited college or university 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 the Commission is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee 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 accreditation status by the New England Commission of Higher Education should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution.

Lombella Northwest Regional President Tunxis Community College • Fall 2020 to Spring 2021 Catalog • 860.773.1300 • tunxis.edu • 3 Chief Executive Officer’s Message On behalf of the management, faculty, and staff at Tunxis Community College, I want to welcome and thank you for considering Tunxis Community College as the place to pursue your education. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our lives in countless ways, while also creating tremendous challenges and uncertainty. It has forced us to rethink the way we live, work, and study. And as a result, the upcoming academic year will prove to be difficult and challenging for public higher education. While the recent health crisis has created a new normal, our community of dedicated faculty and staff continues to come together to support our students and the educational mission of the college. The health and safety of our students and employees remains a top priority; as a result of our Phase 3 reopening plans Tunxis Community College has been allowed us to host a limited number of faculty and staff on campus to help teach and mentor our students enrolled in online and on-ground courses. Despite the many challenges that exist, there are numerous benefits to being a Tunxis student. We provide a high quality educational experience in a very supportive teaching and learning environment. We offer students low tuition, smaller classes, personalized attention, access to technology and online learning, as well as opportunities to learn skills that prepare you for the workforce, high-demand jobs, and lifelong learning. Regardless of your educational journey, Tunxis is the right place to learn, grow, and flourish. Many of our deserving students earn a degree or certificate that transfers to the Connecticut State Universities, and other private institutions, where they go on to earn additional credentials. Tunxis also helps develop future leaders. Many of our students find their voice by completing courses in a variety of academic disciplines, getting involved in many of our student lead clubs, programs, and events, and utilizing many of the free student-centered services and resources. As we continue to celebrate the college’s 50th Anniversary and its service to the community, as well as the 20th year of its satellite facility Tunxis@Bristol, I encourage you to utilize the resources on our website and see how we can help you with becoming a part of the college’s next 50 years. I look forward to working with you in this new environment and wish you a safe and successful academic year.

  • 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 acclaimed scholar, he co-authored, some twenty years ago, The World in the Curriculum, widely regarded as a standard guide to internationalizing the college curriculum. Most recently, he published Service-Learning Across Cultures, on the impact of international service-learning. Over the years he has chaired such bodies as the Council for International Exchange of Scholars and the Canadian Fulbright Commission. He continues to promote the internationalization of education as a board member of such organizations as the American Forum for Global Education, the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership, and World Learning, the organization that operates the School for International Training.

During 1998-99 he was visiting fellow at the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale University. Before coming to Hartford he was for five years president of Potsdam College of the State University of New York. Before that, his career as scholar and teacher had brought him to the rank of full professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania.
