MEMBER AT LARGE
"My experience at the University of Hartford opened up many exciting possibilities for me. It prepared me for my advanced degrees at Oxford and for the career I am pursuing today. I choose to give back to the University because I want to help other students see the full range of possibilities that a University of Hartford degree can provide.
Even though I finished my most recent University of Hartford degree in 2004, I never really managed to leave the University. I have been involved in campus life for many years since then, as an instructor and staff member. Being a member of the Alumni Board allows me to keep the fun going on!"
