CETA Kicks Off the New Academic Year

On Monday, August 31, CETA’s new students gathered in the Hartford Suite of Gengras Student Union to kick off the new academic year. About 240 students packed the room to hear Dean Manzione welcome them to school. He reminded them that, yes, engineering, technology, and architecture are among the harder disciplines to study, but there are plenty of resources here in the College to help them achieve their goals, including faculty whose office doors are open to them.

Dean Lou Manzione addresses CETA's class of 2013.

After Associate Dean Hisham Alnajjar ran through some important mechanics, such as how to identify their advisor, how to get tutoring help if they want it, how to access the computer labs and other resources, the department chairs introduced their faculty. The professional staff in Student Services also introduced themselves and opened the floor to questions.

Associate Dean Alnajjar explains how to find a faculty member's office.

Classes start today, Tuesday, September 1.

CETA welcomes our class of 2013 and looks forward to working with them toward graduation and careers in their chosen fields.
