Annual Reports

The Connecticut Education Network (CEN) is a tremendous asset to the State of Connecticut that provides critical network services to the research and education community that in turn encourage workforce and economic development. CEN is the leader in high-performance Internet for Connecticut’s schools, libraries, colleges, and towns, providing equitable and efficient services throughout the state through a collaborative model that few states can rival. This strategic plan reflects the collective needs and vision of CEN’s member institutions, representatives of which provided direct input on the sections that follow. It is a plan built by and for stakeholders, not stockholders, to address the needs of the community and to provide transformative opportunities throughout the state. Through this approach, the plan remains both practical and aligned to support economic and workforce development through education, research, government, healthcare, the arts, and open access members.
