Kristen Harris

Why do you volunteer for the University of Hartford and the Alumni Association?

I have a long history of service and community building, beginning as early as elementary school. My time at the University of Hartford not only honed my skills and passion for service but also confirmed that this was how I would live my life both personally and professionally. I feel a ton of privilege to have the opportunity to continue in my support of the University as an Alumni Board member.
