  • Winter 2014 Ebenezer Don Carlos Bassett, Class of 1853
    Winter 2014 the magazine for alumni & friends of central connecticut state university Ebenezer Don Carlos Bassett, Class of 1853 • First African American to Attend New Britain Normal School (1852) • First African American to Graduate (1853) • First African American US Diplomat (1869) PRESIDENT’S CORNER When I addressed the University at the beginning of the fall semester, I spoke about CCSU’s “culture of success.” Reflecting on the past year’s accomplishments and, even further back over the nine years I’ve served the University, it is clear to me that we succeed—sometimes against significant odds—because that is what we do. We have a culture of success that informs all our endeavors. Our most important successes of course are our students, and we can see that culture taking shape during the formation of our institution. Ebenezer Don Carlos Bassett, Class of 1853 and one of our earliest graduates, followed success after success as he became an educator in New Haven, an abolitionist and activist in league with Frederick Douglass, and, in 1869, the nation’s first African American diplomat. You will also see in this issue that the culture of success is alive and flourishing here — certainly in the accomplishments of young alumni like Erin Stewart ’06 and Eric Blake ’02, the path-breaking efforts of William Mann ’84, and the enterprising leadership of Richard Phaneuf ’92, but also in the educational ferment that led to the development of our STEM-centered School of Engineering, Science & Technology; the launch of our innovative MBA program; and the expansion of global educational opportunities via the opening of the state’s only Confucius Institute.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Remarks at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Connecticut March 5, 2014 The President. Hello, Connecticut! Go Blue Devils! [Laughter] It is good to be back in Connecticut. I want to thank your wonderful Governor, Dan Malloy, for that introduction. I want to thank your president, Jack Miller, for inviting me here today. We've got members of your student government behind me. You know, the—I couldn't help but notice your Student Government Association logo, which has a gavel and a pitchfork, which is pretty intense. [Laughter] And I wish some folks in Congress used the gavel more. [Laughter] Less pitchfork. [Laughter] We also have some members of your nonstudent government. One of our finest members of our Cabinet, who just cares so much about working families and is working tirelessly every single day, Secretary of Labor Tom Perez is here. We've got all five of Connecticut's Representatives in Congress, including CCSU alum John Larson, in the house. Another proud CCSU alum, Erin Stewart, your mayor, is here, along with Mayor Segarra and the other mayors and legislators from all across Connecticut. And today we're doing something a little different than usual. Usually, when I hit the road and talk with folks like all of you, I've got a Governor with me. But you are special. So we decided one Governor wasn't enough. [Laughter] So in addition to Governor Malloy, we've got Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, Peter Shumlin of Vermont. This is like a Governor supergroup.
