Night Shift
In a Somerville, MA apartment in 2007, when 3 friends began homebrewing beer for friends and family. Their hobby took place after work, often stretching late into the night - what they called their “night shift.” Driven by a passion to craft more interesting and flavorful beers than the commercial options available, they turned that hobby into something bigger. In 2012, Night Shift Brewing officially launched in a small Everett warehouse, setting the foundation for what would become a thriving independent brewery.
Today, Night Shift Brewing continues to grow, fueled by the same commitment to creativity, quality, and community. With a dedicated team of hardworking staff, the company operates a taproom and brewery in Everett, a restaurant and brewery at Lovejoy Wharf in Boston, and a handful of seasonal Owl's Nest beer gardens. Its portfolio of beverages can be found across the Northeast and beyond. Night Shift Brewing remains focused on three core values-inclusivity, innovation, and ingenuity-while embracing the mantra “all styles welcome.” We invite anyone and everyone to join us in welcoming all styles of beverages, people, and ideas. Welcome to the Night Shift.

Wormtown
Wormtown Brewery started in 2010 on Park Ave in Worcester, MA, transforming an old ice cream shop into a small brewery. From the beginning, the focus was on crafting great beer while staying true to its hometown roots. With strong support from the local community, new recipes were created and refined.
Then came Be Hoppy-a bold West Coast IPA released at the height of the Hazy New England IPA craze. It stood out from the pack and quickly became a fan favorite.
As word spread, so did the brewery. What started as a small Worcester operation grew into two taprooms and a brand recognized across New England. But no matter how far the beer travels, the mission remains the same: to craft high-quality beer that brings people together with a smile, one pint at a time.

Dean, College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources (CAHNR)
Uconn Careers
Entry level job in Storrs, CT
The University of Connecticut (UConn), one of the nation's leading public research universities, seeks a visionary and dynamic leader to serve as the Dean of its College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources (CAHNR or the College), and Director of the Connecticut Cooperative Extension System and the Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station. UConn seeks candidates who have a comprehensive resume of success in academic leadership roles and who can demonstrate exceptional skills and experience that will enable them to lead a research and educational enterprise across multiple campuses. For the past decade, the University has been on a remarkable journey of expansion and growth. By every measure, from student success to research grants, UConn has enhanced its standing. Today, UConn is ranked among the top public research universities nationwide. As the chief executive officer for CAHNR, the Dean will set the standard of intellectual engagement and accomplishment for the College.
The Dean will provide strategic vision and operational leadership to all aspects of the academic and scholarly program, setting priorities for the College and guiding it toward strategic goals of enhancing scholarship, promoting research and outreach, and providing exceptional undergraduate and graduate education in an academic setting with a diverse population of students, faculty, and staff. In consultation with university officials, the Dean will appoint endowed faculty chairs and professorships and increase faculty awards and fellowships. The Dean is the College's chief advocate, promoting its goals and achievements, leading its development and fundraising activities, and speaking for its mission of excellence in scholarship, teaching, and Extension outreach. Supporting the University's research mission, the Dean will advance the scholarly activities of the faculty, including interdisciplinary opportunities. The Dean will also be the College's public voice, promoting collegiate initiatives within UConn and across the state, articulating the College's contributions at the local, state, regional, national, and international levels. In pursuing these responsibilities, the Dean, who reports to the Provost, will work collaboratively with the President and Provost, and with Vice Presidents, Vice Provosts, other Deans, and Department Heads.
The successful candidate will be a nationally recognized, self-assured, entrepreneurial leader prepared to extend and expand the sense of pride, of purpose, and of excellence already characteristic of UConn and CAHNR. With experience in a research university, the ideal candidate will have demonstrated success as an educator, a researcher committed to the search for new knowledge, a skilled administrator, and someone able to imagine new possibilities for the College.
University of Connecticut
The University of Connecticut is one of the top public research universities in the nation, with faculty and students pursuing answers to critical questions in labs, lecture halls, and the community. Knowledge exploration throughout the University's network of campuses is united by a culture of innovation.
Founded in 1881, UConn is a Land Grant and Sea Grant institution and member of the Space Grant Consortium. The University is the state's flagship institution of higher education and includes seven campuses across the state: Avery Point, Hartford, Stamford, Storrs, and Waterbury, the Law School in Hartford, and UConn Health in Farmington. UConn has approximately 10,000 faculty and staff and 32,000 students, including more than 24,000 undergraduates and nearly 8,000 graduate and professional students. UConn faculty are recognized nationally and internationally for their scholarship, teaching, and creativity, advancing discovery across disciplines. UConn's dedicated staff provide the expertise and support that sustain the University's mission and advance institutional achievement.
The total budget of UConn and UConn Health for 2024 was approximately $3.2 billion, and the current value of its endowment is more than $634 million. The University receives over $368.1 million in research awards and is accredited by the New England Commission on Higher Education (NECHE). The University has approximately 290,000 alumni worldwide. Record numbers of undergraduate applications and support for student success have enabled the University to become extraordinarily selective. Student demand continues to increase, as does the number of honor students, valedictorians, and salutatorians who consistently make UConn their top choice. UConn's retention rate is among the best for public universities in the nation, with 92 percent of students returning for their sophomore year.
The University of Connecticut is dedicated to excellence demonstrated through national and international recognition. Through freedom of academic inquiry and expression, UConn creates and disseminates knowledge by means of scholarly and creative achievements, graduate and professional education, and outreach.

The College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources
The College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources (CAHNR) is located on UConn's Storrs campus with teaching, research, and extension activities reaching across the state. CAHNR faculty, staff, and students explore the interrelationships among food, natural resources, and human and animal health, seeking to connect them in a manner that is economically viable and environmentally sustainable.
The College evolved from the original Storrs Agricultural School, established in 1881. As Connecticut's Land Grant University, UConn has federal and state mandates to carry out the tripartite mission of teaching, research, and outreach education. As such, CAHNR is the home of UConn Extension, part of the national Cooperative Extension System. UConn Extension reaches over 175,000 residents through over 500 programs, connecting with communities in all 169 of Connecticut's cities and towns.
The College consists of eight academic departments (Agricultural and Resource Economics, Allied Health Sciences, Animal Science, Kinesiology, Natural Resources and the Environment, Nutritional Sciences, Pathobiology and Veterinary Science, and Plant Science and Landscape Architecture), offering 17 undergraduate majors and 23 undergraduate minors, along with many PhD, MS, professional, and graduate certificate programs. It is also the home of innovative interdisciplinary research and clinical centers including:
Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR)
Center of Excellence for Vaccine Research (CEVR)
Connecticut Food Innovation Center
Connecticut Institute of Water Resources (CT IWR)
Connecticut State Climate Center
Institute for Sports Medicine
Korey Stringer Institute
Zwick Center for Food and Resource Policy
CAHNR has a $35 million annual budget, 194 full-time faculty, and 111 staff. Undergraduate enrollment is approximately 2,400; graduate and professional enrollment is around 520. The Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station administers the College's research programs, including competitive capacity grants.
CAHNR's research portfolio is broad in scope, with faculty in each of its departments supported by extensive extramural funding programs. Annual research expenditures for CAHNR are approximately $40 million. The faculty includes internationally renowned scholars across the disciplines in fields ranging from traditional agricultural to natural resources and health sciences. Increasingly, exciting new areas of research are emerging at the intersection of departments, as faculty pursue collaborative work that brings together multiple methods of inquiry. These interdisciplinary interests and opportunities are further catalyzing collaborations between CAHNR faculty and colleagues from other colleges, schools, centers, and institutes throughout the University.
The Leadership Charge
CAHNR is a unique college amongst its peer set, borne out of an important heritage and mission. It is the oldest college at UConn, and the College serves a state known more for its burgeoning local, sustainable agriculture and cutting-edge environmental protection than for traditional, large-scale agribusiness.
As such, CAHNR has grown to become a diversified, modern college that addresses a broad set of pressing issues, from food production to the natural environment to health outcomes in humans and animals. The faculty at UConn CAHNR are deeply committed to research and to their students and, given its breadth and collaborative approach, the College addresses the crucial interconnectivity of these challenges through the adoption and promotion of a One Health approach. Likewise, because of its mission to serve the state of Connecticut, the College is an important, necessary influencer and actor in Connecticut's agriculture, its environmental protection, and its economy.
Given the changing landscape of the state and national economy, the environment, and higher education, the College must continue to innovate. The Dean will lead the College in that evolution, drawing from all assets of the enterprise, from the College to the extension system to the experiment station. From the development of new programs, to attracting new sources of extramural funding, to encouraging more cross-disciplinary collaboration, the Dean will work with the faculty and staff to continue the College's evolution to address some of the most pressing issues facing society.
UConn will welcome a Dean who thrives on innovation and the challenges and opportunities of developing, organizing, and managing new initiatives. The Dean will articulate a vision for the College, defining its role in research and teaching within the University community, the state, and the nation. From that vision, the Dean will shape the organization and, with the faculty, configure, create, and grow programs and attract a student body to realize their success.
The Position
Reporting to the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs for all matters, the Dean is the chief academic and administrative officer of CAHNR, responsible for providing strategic vision and operational leadership to all aspects of the academic and scholarly program. The Dean also serves as the Director of both the Connecticut Cooperative Extension System and the Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station.
The Dean oversees faculty appointments, along with the promotion, tenure, and review process in CAHNR. The Dean has administrative responsibility for undergraduate education and, in partnership with the Dean of the Graduate School, for graduate education within the College. The Dean is also responsible for implementation of academic rules and regulations, academic advising, promotion of academic integrity, faculty staffing and development, research activities, management of academic resources, oversight of academic departments, interdisciplinary centers and institutes, and other academic activities within the College.
Reporting to the Dean are the Associate Dean of Academic Programs and Director of the Ratcliffe Hicks School of Agriculture, the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies, the Associate Dean for Extension, and the College's nine department heads (eight academic departments and Extension). In addition, the Dean's office is staffed by the CAHNR Communications Office, CAHNR Business Office, IT Specialist, Director of Alumni Relations and Development, and the Dean's Executive Assistant.
The Dean will lead the College in promoting an innovative research environment and educational programs. The Dean assists the President and Provost in representing the University on matters related to its core missions of research, education, and outreach. The Dean is also responsible for careful stewardship of the College's financial and physical resources, ensuring that budgets are managed effectively, resources are aligned with strategic priorities, and opportunities are pursued to strengthen the College's long-term sustainability in a challenging fiscal environment. The Dean partners with the UConn Foundation to ensure robust fundraising and alumni relations. The successful candidate will be a nationally recognized, strong, self-assured, entrepreneurial leader able to infuse UConn CAHNR with a sense of pride, of purpose, and of excellence.
