Video: Student Rally to Prevent Cutbacks
By Brandon T. Bisceglia
Editor-in-Chief Emeritus
HCC Student and Women's Center employee Kaitlyn Shake delivered a speech at the end of Wednesday's Courtyard Festival thanking students for their support in an ongoing petition to prevent the loss of the college's full-time professors as a result of Connecticut's budget cuts.
The budget, which had been passed the day before by the State Legislature in Hartford, depends upon $2 billion in labor savings which are still under negotiation.
Shake exhorted her fellow students to continue their efforts to protest the potential firing of professors, noting that they would result in reduced services to students and negatively impact the college's accreditation.

Scenes from the 2011 Courtyard Festival
It may have rained on the day of HCC's annual Courtyard Festival this year, but that didn't stop the festivities. The Events Center was packed with students, music, and activities.
The spring celebration culminated in a somber moment, as students learned that their petition to prevent cuts to teachers and services at HCC had been extended another week in the hopes that more signatures could be collected and presented to the state legislature.
