At the beginning of 2020, what was Goodwin College became Goodwin University. A year later, Goodwin President Mark Scheinberg is expanding Goodwin's reach to Bridgeport.

In December, New England’s regional higher education accreditation board approved Goodwin University’s plan to buy the University of Bridgeport, putting the East Hartford school on track to create a new institution in Bridgeport by July 1. 

Under the deal, Goodwin will buy UB's buildings and programs, while Hamden-based Paier College of Art plans to offer courses on the campus. 

Additionally, tenants have begun to move into Goodwin's new $8 million commercial building on Main and Ensign streets, including East Hartford-based American Eagle Financial Credit Union and Rebel Dog Coffee.

Scheinberg, who essentially built Goodwin from scratch, has also emerged as an authority on adult education and workforce development in the state. He's served on the board of the Hartford Consortium for Higher Education and executive board of the Connecticut Council of Independent Colleges.
