Making the World Their Classroom
The University of Hartford strives to offer its students a complete education, one that will prepare them for the challenges of the global community of the 21st century. During the past year, more than 100 students, representing all nine schools and colleges, have participated in the programs offered by the University's International Center.

Discovering Britain
In the mid-1980s, then-University of Hartford President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg had the clever idea of affiliating the University with Hertford [pronounced Hartford] College, one of the several colleges making up Oxford University in England, and one of its oldest, founded in 1282 as Hart Hall and refounded as Hertford College in the 19th century.

Man of Steel
Sabbatical. A time when professors traditionally take a break from their teaching responsibilities to do research and write. Not exactly true for the "Man of Steel," Benjamin Toth, associate professor of percussion at The Hartt School. True, he cannot leap tall buildings in a single bound, and he doesn't have x-ray vision, but he does have more rhythmic and musical talent than your average man.

Discovering Vietnam
The photos that senior Josh Blanchfield shot while studying in Vietnam last fall speak volumes about the endless possibilities available to students who choose to study abroad.
