This week 101 College is top of mind. BioCT will become one of the first organizations to move this February. Having an office, particularly in downtown New Haven, with access to events spaces from 10-400 attendees will be a game changer. I am grateful to all the organizations that loaned us space in the interim and eternally grateful to Biolabs for now enabling a permanent home.In addition, yesterday we shared the incredible news that Carter Winstanley is joining our Board. Our community knows Carter as the genius behind developments such as 100 and 101 College. However, it was Carter’s commitment to building our next generation of talent in CT, and his serving as a trusted advisor to me since my first week in May that made him such an appealing candidate. These advancements make our Board and organization even stronger and are positioning us well for all we wish to offer in 2024.
