We look forward to welcoming students and families to our Scholarship Competition on Sunday. The event will take place as scheduled. Attendees, please refer to your email for the complete itinerary and additional information.

Due to the upcoming high-impact winter storm, UHart will be closed on Monday, Feb. 23. There will be no in-person classes held on Monday. Please note that when a campus closing prevents an in-person class from meeting at its scheduled time, faculty may opt to conduct classes or provide assignments online. Students should check Blackboard and their email regularly on such days to learn of any alternate arrangements. Online and remote courses are not affected by campus closings and meet as scheduled.

Summer Place Leaders in Training

A leadership training program for students entering grades 10 through 12 

At SPLIT, we learn by doing. Campers attend workshops on management and leadership skills, team building, and self-discovery. SPLIT participants also gain hands-on experience working with Summer Place, Li’l Place, and Kinderplace campers. 

Program Structure and Session Focus

Each SPLIT session runs for two weeks. Sessions are built around a rotating curriculum, and campers leave the program with a stronger sense of responsibility, a solid work ethic, and greater confidence in their leadership, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.

Session Themes

  • Session 1: Leadership and character development

  • Session 2: Community service, including a SPLIT food drive benefiting the West Hartford Food Pantry

  • Session 3: Job application and interview strategies, with guest speakers from a wide range of professional fields

While all core topics are reinforced throughout the summer, each session places greater emphasis on its featured theme.
