Don’t miss Dr. Raul Fernandez’s lecture on Community Comes Together, a part of the Dr. Booker T. Devaughn Lecture Series. 

Dr. Raul Fernandez is a Lecturer and former Associate Dean for Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education & Human Development where he studies, writes, and teaches about inequities in education. His talks challenge participants to examine their background, beliefs, and biases while moving urgently to address social justice issues by making changes to policy and practice. He’s facilitated workshops for teachers and academics, doctors and nurses, lawyers and social workers, business and nonprofit leaders, artists and librarians, students, and seniors, and more.

Watch the lecture virtually at: https://tinyurl.com/r28fnat3. 

The event is sponsored by the Three Rivers College Foundation and Dime Bank. 

On Saturday, November 13, Three Rivers Community College will hold Enroll in a Day, a unique registration event to assist students with enrolling and registering for the Spring semester. Included in the day is a special Preview Session from 10:00-11:30 am for people new to the College. At Three Rivers, students will find programs in fields that are hiring like tech, health care, manufacturing, and more, all for the lowest tuition in Connecticut.

On Saturday, students can stop by campus and speak with Three Rivers staff who will guide them on their next step to register for classes. Whether they need to apply, plan a schedule of classes, or have questions about financial aid or payment plans, someone can help! To ensure a quick visit and eliminate waiting in line, attendees should let staff know they’re coming by registering in advance at www.ct.edu/enroll. Those registering in advance will have priority to meet with a staff person individually! While all efforts will be made to help students resolve every item on this day, a follow up appointment may be necessary for the following week.  

If you’re brand new to Three Rivers or interested in exploring our many options, don’t miss our Preview Session from 10:00-11:30 am. Take a student-led tour and find out why our students chose Three Rivers. Participants will also meet with admissions staff who will answer questions and help fill out applications.

Classes start on Friday, January 21, and the best way to guarantee a student getting the classes they need is to register now. Those who cannot make either event can visit www.threerivers.edu/springwinter for more information on registering or call 860-215-9016.

Current Students — speak with an advisor and register for your Spring and Winter classes early. This is your chance to get all the classes YOU need! Advising Days takes place in-person on November 1, and virtually, by appointment only, on November 2.  Read More …
