Housatonic Community College (HCC) students David Curtis of Trumbull (center) and Steven Vereb of Stratford (right) discuss their recently completed CAD Mechanical AutoCad class with Donald Janezik of Cheshire (left), treasurer of the Manufacturer’s Association of Southern Connecticut. The group awarded a $5,000 grant to HCC for scholarships to industrial technology, technological studies and engineering science students. Curtis, Vereb and Livingston Thomas of Bridgeport received scholarships for the AutoCad course.

MASC made the award as part of its efforts “to preserve, promote and protect manufacturing jobs in Southern Connecticut.” HCC is now accepting applications for another round of scholarships.
