Local Reps Attend Ribbon Cutting of NVCC Campus in Danbury

Naugatuck Valley Community College opened its doors to a new facility in the city of Danbury on Friday, October 14. State Reps. Stephen Harding (R-107) and Jan Giegler (R-138) were in attendance to congratulate NVCC President De Filippis, Connecticut State Colleges and Universities President Ojakian, NVCC Student Government Association President Franco and Mayor Boughton of Danbury on their latest expansion.

“Many of the 1250 students that attend NVCC are from the 107th district, so this new campus will be much more convenient for those who would otherwise have to commute to Waterbury,” said Rep. Harding. “I have also been informed that NVCC admissions are working to create a more seamless, accessible application process for prospective students. This is a great opportunity for all students throughout our local communities.”

“I am pleased to see this investment in Danbury come to fruition and I am confident NVCC will be a great community partner in our community for years to come,” Rep. Giegler said. “Any time we can help to expand access to education is good for the students, professors and faculty and the people of the community being served.”
