The University of Hartford is well-represented in the July 2008 issue of Hartford magazine.
First, the magazine included University President Walter Harrison on its list of "Greater Hartford’s 50 Most Influential People." In addition, an article on what Hartford will look like in 10 years is accompanied by a timeline of Hartford development projects, which includes the University’s soon-to-open Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center.
Finally, Director of Athletics Patricia Meiser is one of six people who appears in a feature about “must haves” that people take with them when they travel. “I have four children and one grandson and staying close to them is important to me,” Meiser said. “When I travel, I take a photo album with me. It is always great to see their smiling faces when I cannot be with them.” Meiser said she also tries to bring golf clubs with her when she travels.
Douglas Dix, professor of biology and medical technology in the College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions, wrote a letter to the editor of the Hartford Courant about comprehensive health education being eliminated from Hartford's elementary and middle schools. "The cuts are intended to focus resources on raising Connecticut Mastery Test scores, but that's putting the cart before the horse," Dix wrote in the June 19 issue of the Courant. "Too many Hartford residents don't know what to eat or how to live. Until they learn this vital information, reading, writing and math skills are irrelevant," said Dix, who is also secretary/treasurer of MOMS: The Fund for Mothers with Young Children.
The "My First Dollar" column in the June 23 issue of the Hartford Business Journal profiled Paul Tieger, who is president and CEO of SpeedReading People LLC and who has been a jury consultant for 25 years. Tieger is an alumnus of the University of Hartford, and he also worked in the University's alumni affairs office and served as assistant dean of students at the University. During his time at the University, he discovered how recognizing individuals' personality types could help people communicate better, leading him to launch SpeedReading People three years ago.
In a June 22 article celebrating the 10th anniversary of the "Cranes and Scaffolds" feature in its "Commentary" section, the Hartford Courant cited the success of the conversion of the Sage-Allen building in downtown Hartford into student housing. The University of Hartford students living there are making the downtown a more lively place, the Courant said.
