A Connecticut college announced a $1 million gift from the Tagliatela Family, the third gift of at least $1 million in the past three months for the college, according to a statemenet.
Albertus Magnus College said in a release the gift would provide “essential funding for scholarships, state-of-the-art equipment, and faculty resources,” that “will further embolden the College’s nursing programs.”
“The Tagliatela Family has a long, distinguished history of support and engagement with Albertus Magnus College, and this latest investment in nursing is a testament to the Family’s vision and commitments,” said Albertus President Marc M. Camille, Ed.D. “I am deeply grateful for the support of the entire Tagliatela Family, and in a special way to long-serving Albertus Trustee, Lou Tagliatela, Jr., and his daughter Lauren, who we proudly claim as an Albertus alumna.
“The Family’s support dates back to Louis Tagliatela, Sr., who also was a dedicated Albertus Trustee, and Lauren is now a prominent member of our Business School advisory board. At this pivotal time — just a month from the official start of the Albertus 100th Anniversary Year — the Tagliatelas have once again added to their legacy of leadership.”

“We deeply believe in the power of education to transform lives, strengthen our communities, and build a more compassionate workforce,” said Lauren on behalf of the Tagliatela Family. “My family’s $1 million gift to Albertus Magnus College is a reflection of our commitment to that belief, and to the generations of students who will benefit from new opportunities in higher education. We are especially proud to support the College’s nursing program.
“In today’s world, the need for well trained, empathetic healthcare professionals has never been greater. Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system, and the demand for them continues to rise as is confirmed by employers reaching out directly to Albertus. By investing in this program, we are helping to ensure that students can pursue a meaningful, in-demand career right here in our community. For our family, this gift is not just about education, it’s about creating a ripple effect of opportunity, wellness, and service. Supporting Albertus Magnus means investing in a future where compassionate care and academic excellence go hand in hand.”
