  • Annual Report 2019
    Annual Report 2018-2019 Annual Report 2016-2017 From the President he 2018-19 academic year was another year of milestones. In May, we marked the 100th anniversary of Connecticut College’s very first commencement in 1919, at the same time that we Tlooked toward a new year with record admissions. In an increasingly competitive market for higher education nationally, Connecticut College continues to be successful in recruiting academically talented students from the largest applicant pools in our history. The nearly 6800 applications we received last year yielded an exceptional class. The class of 2023 is very strong, very diverse, very international, and very large, with 508 students from 33 different countries; 27 percent are students of color; and one out of six are the first in their families to attend college. One of the drivers of this success is Connections, our 21st-century reinvention of the liberal arts. In a survey of the incoming class of 2023, 94 percent said Connections was the main reason they had chosen to come to Conn. The program’s unique pathways are attracting not just new students but also other experts within the higher education community. Last year, professor of history Sarah Queen was invited to Copenhagen Business School to speak about the pathway she directs on Global Capitalism, as part of the Aspen Institute’s Business and Society program. Her talk was so well received that Aspen featured it in their report titled, “Next-Generation Business Leaders,” and invited Professor Queen to participate again this past summer. More recently, in New York City, I had the opportunity to speak about Connections to a very engaged audience of higher education leaders at the Times Higher Education/ Wall Street Journal Summit on Student Learning hosted by the New York Institute of Technology.

Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category.
