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 47-school Hartford Public School system (est. 2011) and the 617-bed 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. |
In early spring, graduate and undergraduate students are asked to submit research or other scholarly/creative projects for inclusion in the undergraduate colloquium and graduate symposium held later in the semester. Faculty support the entries with a letter of recommendation. This year 2 undergraduate and 4 graduate projects were selected. ENHP is proud of the exceptional scholarly work of these students. full story
