Join us for a delightful afternoon of good food and engaging conversations about local art and history!

Order ahead from Sweet Bella @ The MATT or bring your own lunch to enjoy.
First Wednesday of Every Month | 12–1 PM

Hear Dr. Victoria Verlezza tell her story- one that highlights a full-circle academic journey. She began as a student in Connecticut’s community college system and has returned as a professor to teach and inspire the next generation. Her story reflects perserverance, personal growth, and the transformative power of education, showing how community colleges not only prepare students for successful careers but also cultivate future educators who reinvest in their own communities.

Pre-registration is suggested due to limited spots.
