UConn alum Robert H. Hart ’40 (CLAS) lived a life dedicated to his hometown of Meriden, Conn., including a 30-year career spent there as an educator. Hart, who passed away in April 2015 at the age of 96, will now be remembered at the Neag School through a student scholarship newly established in his name.

After more than $56,000 was raised for the Valerie J. Pichette Scholarship Fund from 117 donors, the Neag School will honor the scholarship’s first student recipient, UConn alum and incoming TCPCG student Luis Organista ’14 (CAHNR), later this month.

The report, published April 7 by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, found that students who “concentrated”—took three related courses focused on one industry—were 21 percentage points more likely to graduate from high school in four years than their peers who did not, and were just as likely to go to a four-year college.

A new study on career and technical education has found that CTE is highly beneficial for students, especially for some of those who need it the most.
