Cover Story - HAWK PRIDE!
The Hartford Hawks, winners of the 2002 Friendship Cottage Cheese America East Women's Basketball Championship Tournament, celebrate with University President Walter Harrison and Arnold C. Greenberg, chairman of the Board of Regents. The women made history this season with the University's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division I basketball tournament.
Much more than a championship trophy came from Hartford's America East women's basketball title. The impact the league tournament had on school spirit, campus pride, and the Hartford community will be felt well into the future.

Road to the League Title
Under third-year Head Coach Jennifer Rizzotti, the Hawks headed into the NCAA Tournament having won nine of 11 games, including their first-ever win at Maine. But it was at the 2002 Friendship Cottage Cheese America East Women's Basketball Championship that the Hawks climbed to the next level.

Music to Cheer By
Wait a minute.…A pep band? A fight song? At the University of Hartford?
For the Love of Dance
Seven a.m., a much dreaded time for the average college student, but these are not average students. Every morning, Hartt dance students leave the comfort of their dorm rooms before the University Commons even opens for breakfast to take the shuttle bus to Dance Connecticut's quarters on Farmington Avenue in Hartford.

In 1877 a group of visionary, socially prominent Hartford women established a decorative art society with the goal of providing cultural enrichment by offering art classes of the highest quality. They started small, with basic classes in drawing and painting, and hoped that there would be enough public interest for the organization to survive.

Bringing Renowned Artists to Campus
