Inauguration of President Jesse M. Bernal
Inauguration of the 10th President: Dr. Jesse M. Bernal
|
An inauguration marks the formal beginning of a presidency, but its deeper purpose is to welcome our community together, weave our shared strengths, and widen the opportunities ahead. At WestConn, the celebration will be funded entirely through sponsorships and philanthropy, and Dr. Bernal has committed to raising or matching every philanthropic dollar to support student scholarships. His vision reflects our theme—Weaving our strengths. Building our future.—by expanding opportunity, strengthening regional partnerships, and ensuring every learner can thrive. |
