TUNXIS ANNOUNCES GRADUATES OF CLASS OF 2006
FARMINGTON—The 35th Commencement of Tunxis Community College was held on May 31 in
Welte Hall at Central Connecticut State University.
A total of 350 associate’s degrees and certificates were conferred upon 305 graduates (some graduates
received double degrees, or both a degree and a certificate).
Tunxis is officially in the first of two phases of a major campus expansion project, with completion of
Phase I expected in fall 2007. The first phase, which includes a new Classroom Building and Library, will
add approximately 95,000 square feet of space to the campus. Tunxis has for many years had the
smallest footprint (assignable space per student) of any college in New England.
For more information, please call 860.255.3500, or visit Tunxis on the Internet at
