Getting to Know Us
Let us share with you the UHart culture, learning, and energy that takes place on our campus every day. Whether it is bettering our local neighborhoods through our diverse community service projects, performing a seasonal favorite The Nutcracker, or welcoming students onto campus during the summer, every contribution we make is an opportunity to leave an impression on our greater community. The result is a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where anyone can find their place and everyone feels at home.

Join us at the Harrison Libraries for a Black History Month “Read-In” hosted by Dr. Markeysha Davis, Chair of Africana Studies.

The Presidents’ College is an informal, welcoming community of people from greater Hartford and (thanks to Zoom) much farther afield. We immerse ourselves in short courses and stand-alone lectures on a wide and wild range of topics, including history, literature, STEM, fine and performing arts and current events. We partner with UHart’s seven colleges and myriad undergraduate departments to co-present courses on matters of the moment in the spheres of business, economics, politics, diversity/equity, and culture.
Our instructors are drawn from the finest of UHart faculty and outside experts, and they consistently enthuse about teaching the engaged Presidents’ College attendees.
Joining this community is simple: choose one or more from each semester’s bounty of courses; register; prepare for lift-off!
Opportunities for civic engagement, volunteerism, and service learning abound.
The Center for Community Service works with agencies throughout the Greater Hartford area to serve as a resource for students, alumni, faculty and staff.
