Jason Scappaticci on The Connecticut Witch Trials 2023

 Monday, October 30th, 7 PM, The Carriage House

There are few people who know witch trials even took place outside of Salem. However, Connecticut led the way in the prosecution and execution of witches almost 50 years before the Salem Witch Trials began. Learn more about these unsettling and uncanny events on Halloween Eve, Monday, October 30th!

Jason Scappaticci was born and raised in Manchester, CT where he continues to live with his partner and son. After high school he earned his BA in History from Utica College of Syracuse University. After returning home to CT he enrolled in Trinity College and earned his MA in American Studies. He has a passion for history and enjoys sharing that passion with others. Professionally, Jason has worked in higher education since 2003. He began his career at Manchester Community College working with low income and first-generation college students. After 16 years at Manchester Community College Jason was named the Associate Dean of Student Affairs at Capital Community College. He is passionate about the mission of Capital Community College and enjoys his work there as much as he enjoys lecturing.
