Hall of Fame 2022
The Board of Directors of the Gateway Community College Foundation are pleased to announce that this year’s Hall of Fame will be in person at Gateway Community College’s downtown New Haven campus in the Curran Community Center on Thursday, November 3, 2022. This year’s Gateway Community College Foundation Hall of Fame is special, since it marks the 25th anniversary of this remarkable event, the biggest source of academic and technology scholarship dollars raised each year.
“Bridge to Equity,” its theme resonates in our community and beyond. Gateway’s students continue to be impacted by world events and need your help to continue on their educational journey at Gateway Community College.
