Some stories stay with you. Last night, Jaquira Díaz filled The Wadsworth with hers.

Raw, honest, and deeply human, her keynote reminded us why it matters to tell our stories in our own voices, especially the hard parts. To everyone who showed up, listened, and lingered long after: thank you. This is what Herencias Latinas is about.

We're proud to spotlight Dean Jason Scappaticci, who will be interviewing acclaimed historian Fergus Bordewich this month at the Mark Twain House & Museum.

Their conversation will center on Bordewich's latest book, exploring the 1876 Centennial Exhibition and the pivotal moment in American history it captured.

Dean Scappaticci has been in higher education since 2003, dedicating his career to supporting students at CT State Manchester (formerly Manchester Community College) and now here at CT State Capital. Outside the campus, he's also known around Hartford as "The Bowtie Historian," giving public lectures on topics ranging from Hartford's architectural history to America's Gilded Age. We're proud to see him bring that same passion for history and education into the community.

This event is hosted by one of our valued community partners, the Mark Twain House & Museum, and is free and open to all CT State students, staff, and faculty.
