Charles B. Milliken, a respected Hartford attorney and devoted supporter of the University of Hartford, died peacefully on March 14.
Milliken made a lasting impact at the University of Hartford—most notably as a member of the Board of Regents (1988–94) and through his support of The Hartt School. His dedication to the performing arts and to arts education culminated in his being awarded the prestigious Fuller Medal in 1994, one of the University’s highest honors. The award recognizes individuals whose exceptional commitment and contributions have significantly advanced the mission and stature of Hartt.
Professionally, Milliken built a distinguished career grounded in integrity, sound judgment, and civic engagement. His work in the legal field, including his association with firms and offices in the city’s downtown business district, made him a trusted presence in the region. Colleagues knew him not only for his expertise, but also for his thoughtful approach and steady presence.
The family will be holding private services and remembrances.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to The Hartt School.
