A remarkable event!

On April 28, the University of Hartford’s College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions (ENHP) gathered for its annual We Are ENHP Scholarship Showcase, an event that brought the community together to celebrate the research, creativity, and dedication of its students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners. From innovative student projects to impactful faculty work, the showcase reflected the energy and purpose that define ENHP.

The evening opened with remarks from Interim Dean, Brian Swanson and a warm welcome to our event's keynote, Manisha Juthani, MD, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH). Matt Parente, program director of prosthetics and orthotics, moderated a series of engaging podium presentations.
