At this year's Leadership Celebration, we had the privilege of recognizing four remarkable examples of leadership and service.

We celebrated Joan Barksdale, Bob Arnold ’72, and the Ritter Family Foundation for their lasting contributions to education at CT State Norwalk and throughout lower Fairfield County. We also honored the legacy of Ann S. Mandel through the presentation of the inaugural award bearing her name.

Each has helped expand access to education and create opportunities for generations of students at CT State Norwalk.

Thank you to our honorees for the difference you've made and continue to make. Stay tuned as we share videos celebrating each of our honorees in the coming days!
