CCSU Co-op
Program Celebrates 30 Years of Service

“Cooperative Education: 30 Years….Helping Students Achieve Career Goals; Serving Campus and Community” was the theme of Central Connecticut State University’s three day celebration held October 1-3, 2003.  Festivities began with a kick-off birthday cake and commemorative pens distributed to members of the campus community. 

On October 2nd, 160 attendees --- faculty, employers and former Co-op students --- shared a luncheon to recognize all those who have contributed to the long-time success of Central’s program. Speakers included Giles Packer, founder the CCSU Cooperative Education Program;

Brian Mattiello, Undersecretary of the Office of Policy and Management for the State of Connecticut, himself a former Co-op student,

and James Jost, CCSU Vice-President of Student Affairs. 

Barbara Gregory, CEIA (Cooperative Education and Internship Association) Vice President of Professional Development,

and Kathy Taylor, President of NEACEFE (the New England Association for Cooperative Education and Field Experience) each presented Certificates of Achievement to Patricia Deloy, Director of Career Services & Cooperative Education.

The culminating activity was the planting and dedication of a tree and plaque commemorating the long history and future success of the program.
