Lisa Ptak - Education Major |
By
the time she was a junior at Crosby High School in Waterbury, Lisa Ptak
was certain she wanted to be a history teacher. Knowing of her
aspirations, three members of the history department at the school
devised an unprecedented experiment for Ptak during her senior year:
She was to teach four class periods, each with a different group of
freshmen. Joseph Macary, one of the teachers, says that the feeling
among the three colleagues was: “We’ve got a great student here—let’s
let her learn.” FULL ARTICLE >>

Taylor Loomis - English Major |
A
high school epiphany led Taylor Loomis, a junior from Litchfield, to
become an English major. It all began with a teacher at Litchfield High
who demonstrated that literature was organically linked to historical,
philosophical, and scientific ideas. Loomis realized then that studying
English was not simply about reading a lot of novels: “It was about
exploring ideas and tying them all together. And it was really about
exploring everything around us: there wasn’t a topic English couldn’t
touch.” FULL ARTICLE >>

Eddie Miranda - Finance Major |
|
When Eddie Miranda entered CCSU as a first-year student, he couldn’t
imagine a more perfect educational path than Central’s hospitality and
tourism program. After all, he had dreamed of owning a hotel since he
was six years old and had relatives who loved the career field. Then
one fateful summer term, a course in finance changed everything. It was
love at first sight. Miranda eagerly took four finance classes the next semester and became a finance major. Now a senior, Miranda reads the
Wall Street Journal,
is fascinated by the recent spate of bank mergers, and smilingly admits
that his favorite course of all time is probably “Financial Statement
Analysis.” He says, “I love reading statements. I just love numbers.” FULL ARTICLE >>> |

Sara Owen - Business Major |
CCSU
student Sara Owen is proud of her Yankee heritage and shows it in her
strong work ethic. In May, when she receives her B.S. in Management and
Organization with a concentration in Marketing, she will be able to put
that Yankee ingenuity into practice by preparing to launch her own
business. That goal, she says, is much closer due to the educational
and practical experiences with a business plan and a marketing strategy
that she has gained during a recent internship. FULL ARTICLE >>>

Marjani settled at CCSU and thanks to his professors, classes, and hard
work is now a successful full-time student, part-time writer in the
University Relations Office, and on-air television personality at ESPN.

educational experience to advance toward his planned future career as a
sports reporter. Robert Kagan, adjunct lecturer of communication, notes,

outstanding students with which I have had the privilege of working. His

Jannett Campos - Criminology Major |
Teaching
sex education to children is never an easy thing to do. Doing it in a
place like Hartford, where the birthrate to teenagers is almost twice
the national average and more than double the rate for the rest of
Connecticut, is even more daunting. But CCSU student Jannett Campos met
the challenge head-on. FULL ARTICLE >>>

Sara Ziegler - Communication Major |
| When
the Communication Department at CCSU wanted to develop a promotional
video about its state-of-the-art television production program, Dr.
Karen Ritzenhoff, associate professor of communication, turned to a
video veteran: communication major Sara Ziegler, who has been making
videos since she was eight. Ritzenhoff said, “Sara is not only an
enthusiastic, devoted, and passionate student, she is also a high
achiever and meets her goals with comparative ease.” Ziegler teamed
with fellow communication major Lance Cortez to produce a high-quality
seven-minute video that drew positive attention to the communication
program. The video is just one of the highlights in the academic career
of Ziegler, who is the first of her family to attend college. FULL ARTICLE >>> | | | | | |
