President's Fund for Reimagining Excellence

Boldly Embracing New Possibilities for a Bright Future Ahead.

That's excellence reimagined at UHart.

Momentum toward continued success requires that we reimagine what excellence looks like at the University of Hartford. Under the leadership of President Ward, our collective challenge is to invest in what continues to work well for the University, discern that which no longer serves our needs, and then boldly embrace new thinking and possibilities for the future. We are looking at opportunities and challenges from a new perspective.

Positioning UHart for its Next Chapter

President Ward is focusing on several strategic objectives that he believes will best position the University of Hartford for a vibrant and sustainable future.

  • A relentless commitment to the student experience and successful student outcomes.
  • Strengthening the financial posture of the institution through increased philanthropy and strategic enrollment and retention strategies.
  • Building institutional culture and confidence, including strong engagement with our alumni community.
  • Demonstrating active leadership in the Greater Hartford community by playing a leading and contributing role in the economic and educational vitality of Hartford, the state of Connecticut, and the Northeast region.

Together, we must increase our attention to an investment in the living and learning experience of our students—and to the quality of the human and physical infrastructure that facilitates their success.
