Milken MeetUp
Apr 15, 2026
Eastern Connecticut State University Panel
Willimantic, CT
April 3, 2026
Connecticut Milken Educators were invited by Karen Cook (CT ‘05) to participate in a panel for her Eastern Connecticut State University Elementary Student Teaching Seminar. During the discussion, Milken Educators shared their professional journeys, leadership experiences, successes, and challenges while offering insights into the teaching profession and the field of education.
“This Milken MeetUp was a powerful reminder of the impact educators have when they come together to learn from and support one another. Sharing our experiences and inspiring future teachers reinforced the importance of collaboration, leadership, and investing in the next generation of educators.”
