50th Anniversary Charter Oak State College

06/15/2023

The 50th Anniversary was a celebration for the history books!

Hosted by the Charter Oak State College Foundation on Saturday, June 10, 2023, the community of degree completion proponents came together for a Golden Celebration of the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities System’s only fully online College.

We were honored to have Renee DiNino and Jason Jakubowski host the evening and to hear inspiring stories from Trudi Lebron, Tenell G. Rhodes Sr., and President Ed Klonoski.




A room of laughter and good cheer as many reminisced, shared stories, and came together to raise funding for student success and access.
