Katherine Black’s Retirement Party will be held on Tuesday, June 23, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Hursey Center.
Please join us as we celebrate Katherine's retirement from the University of Hartford after 28 years of distinguished service.
Katherine joined the faculty in 1998 as an assistant professor, then served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 2014 to 2022.
