 MxCC has lost one of its very best…It is with great sadness that we share with you news of the passing of Dr. Amy Wheaton.
Amy served as a volunteer on The MxCC Foundation board and as Scholarship Committee chair where she was a passionate advocate for the College, its students, and the Foundation’s scholarship program. She retired from the State of Connecticut having served as commissioner of the Department of Children and Youth Services and acting commissioner of the Department of Mental Retardation. She taught at Middlesex Community College and the University of Connecticut. She received the 1988 Connecticut Human Services President’s Award and the 2004 Connecticut Community Colleges Trustees Merit Award. She received her Ph.D. from UConn, a master’s degree from Trinity College, and a BA from Smith College. Her late husband, Dr. Philip D. Wheaton, was the founding president of MxCC.
Funeral services are private. A memorial celebrating Amy’s life and service is September 15 starting at 11:00 am in Chapman Hall, Middlesex Community College.
