CT State Capital

08/31/2026

Welcome back, Capital! Thursday kicked off our fall semester, and the energy was everywhere. New students finding their first classroom, returning students picking up right where they left off, and a Welcome Back table that turned the 1st floor into a game room. Mini bowling, hoops, golf, prizes, snacks. All of it.

The good news is that it's not over. The Welcome Back table is open 8am to 6pm through Wednesday, September 2nd on the 1st floor. Stop by, play a game, win a prize, grab a snack.

Whether this is your first semester or your last, you belong here. Here's to a great fall.

Your classroom just got a whole lot bigger. 📚🏙️

In ENG 1030 (CRN 16342): Place-Based Learning, taught by Professor Alexandra Carey, you’ll step beyond the classroom and into the heart of Hartford. Explore museums, discover the stories that shaped our city, and stand in the same places where influential figures in American history once stood. From historic landmarks to cultural institutions, Hartford becomes your classroom as you connect reading, writing, history, and community through hands-on experiences.

Learn by exploring. Write with purpose. Experience Hartford in a whole new way.

We're proud to spotlight Dean Jason Scappaticci, who will be interviewing acclaimed historian Fergus Bordewich this month at the Mark Twain House & Museum.

Their conversation will center on Bordewich's latest book, exploring the 1876 Centennial Exhibition and the pivotal moment in American history it captured.

Dean Scappaticci has been in higher education since 2003, dedicating his career to supporting students at CT State Manchester (formerly Manchester Community College) and now here at CT State Capital. Outside the campus, he's also known around Hartford as "The Bowtie Historian," giving public lectures on topics ranging from Hartford's architectural history to America's Gilded Age. We're proud to see him bring that same passion for history and education into the community.

This event is hosted by one of our valued community partners, the Mark Twain House & Museum, and is free and open to all CT State students, staff, and faculty.

📅 July 21 | 7:00–8:00 PM

From the classroom to the career floor.

Zach, a Spring 2026 graduate of CT State Capital's Manufacturing program, is proof of what's possible when hands-on training meets real opportunity. In this video, he breaks down what the program gave him: industry-recognized certifications, real hands-on experience, and direct interviews with employers upon completion.

The result? Zach is now employed at Pursuit building a career, not just a resume.

Ready to write your own success story? Our next cohort runs September 21 – November 6, 2026.
