State Senator Derek Slap, Senate Chair of the Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committee, issued a statement on Governor Lamont appointing West Hartford Mayor Shari Cantor Chair of the UConn Board of Trustees.

“I am delighted by Mayor Cantor’s appointment. I’ve known Shari for nearly 20 years and am thrilled that she will be the next Chair of the Board of Trustees. Shari is a talented, visionary consensus builder who uses her leadership skills to bring people together.
