The Ryan Connelly Memorial Toolkit Award

The Ryan Connelly Memorial Toolkit Award was established in the spring of 2020 by his friends, family and teacher, Michael Anderson.
At the time of his passing, Ryan was a well-liked student at Hudson Valley Community College, in the HVAC program, proudly earning a place on the Dean’s List after his first semester.

Ryan was a quietly intelligent student, known best for having an easy smile, mischievous sense of humor, and for having an incredibly generous heart.
He was the best that this world has to offer and he gave freely his possessions, time and friendship to everyone he encountered. Ryan’s loved ones can think of no better way to honor him, than to keep his giving spirit alive.

The Ryan Connelly HVAC Toolkit Award was established in memory of Ryan Connelly, Class of 2021, by his friends, family and professor, Michael Anderson.
The fund will provide a set of tools, annually, to a deserving student in the HVAC program in the college’s Department of Applied Technologies.
HVAC Students should apply through the HVAC Department.
