Welcome to the UHart family!
As soon as your student chooses the University of Hartford, all parents and/or guardians instantly become a part of the Parent Network, playing a significant role in the student experience and at the University overall.
We encourage you to engage with us and support students in meaningful ways—from attending events as a parent volunteer and connecting with prospective families to providing professional development and scholarship opportunities. You can create a unique way of being involved, ultimately enjoying a UHart experience of your very own!
Check out the many ways you can stay connected below and join us in making your mark. Interested in getting involved? We want to hear from you.

Student Campus Resources
Hawktober
Hawktober, the University of Hartford's annual reunion and family weekend, are October fall days packed with exciting opportunities to explore campus, connect with members of our community, and have fun.
A big thank you to those who joined us during Hawktober 2024! Campus was filled with energy and school pride as we came together to celebrate being Hawks.
UHart Hub
Curious how your student is connecting with other Hawks?
Check out our online events platform, UHart Hub. The HEAT (Hartford Events and Activities Team), Student Government Association, and all clubs and organizations add events for students to attend—both in-person and virtually.
Student Life & Support
At most universities, student life and academic services are distinct units with different goals and priorities. At the University of Hartford, Student Affairs and Academic Affairs exist together under one label: the Division of Student Success. We know that every student is different and we work collaboratively to celebrate and support each and every one.
Emergency Text Notifications
The University of Hartford provides an emergency notification system that enables you to receive alerts and updates as text messages on cell phones and through their UHart email accounts.

Celeste Evans
Mother of Carla, Class of 2024
Celeste Evans' daughter, Carla, is a sophomore in the Barney School of Business at UHart. She and her family found that her role as a member of the Parent Network Council was important to Carla's growth and success at UHart.
Our family has found UHart to be a community where parents can get involved on their own, while allowing their students to independently navigate their own experience at the University.
