An envelope containing white powder was mailed to the Burlington home of Central Connecticut State University President Zulma Toro on Friday, police said.
The white powder was removed by hazardous materials teams and is being tested at state laboratories.
State police said they were called to Toro’s home at 7:35 p.m. Friday. The Burlington Fire Department, University of Connecticut haz-mat team and state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection responded to the scene, police said.
Medical personnel evaluated Toro at her home. She was not taken to a hospital.
State police on Saturday said the incident is still under investigation and released no more information.
New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart said Saturday she was briefed on the incident and was told Toro received an envelope with no return address and was exposed to a white powder when she opened it.
