3. Waterbury man seriously injured in Middlebury crash on I-84, police say (milfordmirror.com) — A Waterbury man was seriously injured and flown to Hartford Hospital after a tractor-trailer rear-ended the pickup he was riding in on I-84 west in Middlebury, pushing it into another truck.

4. UConn Hartford is recognizing its Hispanic Huskies. The federal government won't (ctpublic.org) — UConn Hartford has reached Hispanic-Serving Institution status but can’t currently tap related federal grants after a policy shift that ended some Minority-Serving Institution funding. The change also affects UConn Waterbury, which already holds HSI status, potentially limiting extra support for many first-generation Latino students across these campuses.
