While at Voorhees College, Dr. Kinder majored in Chemistry and Mathematics. While in the south, she was involved in the Civil Rights Movement. Following, she later worked in Washington, DC at the Library of Congress. She married and moved to New Haven, Connecticut. However, a lot went on in this amazing woman's life, in the meantime. Once receiving her B.S. Degree, Dr. Kinder worked in the pharmaceutical field, working at Blue Cross. After earning her Master's Degree and 6th year Certificate from Southern CT State University, Dr. Kinder became interested in the field of education and administration. Beginning in 1976 Dr. Kinder spent 20 years as a teacher in the New Haven Public School System. She also spent 20 years in a Girl Scout Program. The highly self-motivated teacher, Dr. Kinder, became an assistant principal. Following, she played a major role in the Early Childhood Education Project, participant in in the Primary Learning Academy, She worked tirelessly as an administrator and educator for 35 years. In 1998 Dr. Kinder received her PhD at the University of Connecticut in Education and Administration. Dr. Kinder shared with this writer that she hasn't as yet served as Superintendent of schools. However, this incredible and amazing scholar keeps her license on hand, just in case. It was in 2013 that the esteemed Dr. Kinder completed an internship as a PhD fellow. o According to The Yale University News, "Dr. Kinder excelled in her participation in the Yale National Initiative where Public school teachers from 10 cities in nine states in 2006 completed National Seminars and an Intensive Session as part of the Yale National Initiative whose purpose is to strengthen teaching in public schools throughout the country. More than half of the 51 teachers designated Yale National Fellows were from 7 cities, including New Haven. They are planning or exploring establishment of a new teachers Institute. Dr. Kinder played a major role in this endeavor." "Dr. Kinder was awarded "The Seton Elm/Ivy Awards, given out by Yale University honoring outstanding contributors toward Yale-New Haven relations." Former Yale University President, Richard Levin, and former New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr., at a special luncheon in the President's room, gave out the awards. At that time, Dr. Kinder received the award as the Outstanding Assistant Principal of Sheridan Academy, for Excellence in a Middle School." "Since 1980 Dr. Kinder had been a leader in the Yale-NH Teachers Institute. For the 19th time she was an International Fellow developing curriculum for New Haven public school students while taking part in a collegial seminar comprising of teachers from across New Haven and University faculty. Dr. Kinder has not only been a fellow, herself, one of the 560 NH Public School teachers who have participated in the program-she has been a key member of the Institute's district-wide steering committee of the National Implementation Team and she played a key part in orchestrating the Initiative's 25th Anniversary Celebration as well.” Before the heavily committed and involved scholar became dedicated on a full-time scale, with her chosen studies and community participation, she married Mr. Alfred Kinder in 1969. Dr. and Mr. Kinder have been blessed with an outstanding well-accomplished daughter. The couple recently celebrated their 46th Wedding Anniversary. Currently, Dr. Kinder continues to be actively involved in the work of her church, Bethel AME, where she serves as the Director of the young people's Division. She also is the Superintendent of church schools in the Springfield Regional Area. She is an active member of the local New Haven Club of the National Association of Business & Professional Women where she serves as the membership Chair. Dr. Kinder is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Theta Epsilon Omega Chapter. Dr. Carolyn Kinder is an extraordinary and phenomenal scholar who has achieved and accomplished so much throughout her adult life. We wish Dr. Carolyn Kinder many more success stories in each of her future endeavors. May God continue to bless her and her family in a very special way! o Andrea Smith & Friends Invite You to Come & SWIM, Again! ADULTS AGE 55 AND OLDER 10:00 A.M. TO 11:30 A.M.

The highlight of the day was the special award given to Irrita Osborn, former head of the Dixwell/ Newhallville Seniors for decades. Irrita Osborn was lauded and applauded for her many years of excellent work with the senior group and the planning of out-of-city events that interested most of the senior group and encouraged their participation. Many went on the frequent trips that they still speak about and how much they enjoyed them. Irrita recently retired, however, from what I'm hearing, her phone continues to ring daily and she's always ready to lend a helping hand. She will be missed. The new director, Gwen Grady, has some large shoes to fill, however, I'm told that she's prepared to fill them by hitting the ground running. Sponsored by the City of New Haven's Department of Elderly Services, and the Commission on Aging, this year's Awards to outstanding senior volunteers went to the following: Eleanor Douglas, Frances Rogers, Judith Seamour, Robin Smith, Karen Zawnerko, Freddie Mae Amaker, Charlene Baroncini, Martha Gallagher, James Bryant, Dolores Galiette, Bertha Kahn, Laura Rodriquez, and Bianca Sangurima. Seniors who attended this wagerly awaited yearly event held at Anthony's enjoyed the food, had fun, and did the electric slide with music by an amazing DJ who, also, danced to his own tunes. Howard Saroff, Chairman of the Commission on Aging, served as Master of Ceremonies, and hardworking Maya Welfare from the Office of the Mayor awarded each reciepient with a Certificate. Always on the go, Elderly Services Director, Migdalia Castro participated to the fullest in the planning of this Annual special event. A great time was had by all.
