The College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions (ENHP) has a long-standing commitment to preparing professionals for service to the community. Our roots in the Greater Hartford area are deep, as demonstrated by the many partnerships with education, health, and community organizations we have built and nurtured over the years. Our mission's emphasis on preparing teachers, promoters of well-being, and leaders grounds us in a rich past and leads us toward our future. External affiliations are the key to integrating health and education science with community engagement, as exemplified by the institution-wide partnerships with the Hartford Public School system (est. 2011) and the Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center (est. 2010).

To successfully bridge academic work and the needs of communities – translating theory into practice, and back – requires the resolve of all constituents to work collaboratively toward one common vision: Excellence through Relevance. |

The Campus-Community Partnership Award of the Connecticut Campus Compact recognizes an outstanding campus-community partnership that is built and sustained on strong principles of equity, trust and respect. Project Horizon has long operated on such principles and is now being recognized with the first award to be given by the Connecticut Campus Compact. The initiative, which is directed by Associate Professor of Nursing Karen Breda, is a network of partnerships between the Department of Health Sciences and Nursing and agencies serving urban community populations in homeless shelters, transitional living centers, urban schools, and neighborhood senior centers. In preparation for the award ceremony, the Connecticut Campus Cmpact produced a video. See a short clip from this video. more |
