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.
Starting in fall 2026, Hillyer College will extend its strengths of personalized support, small classes, and student-focused learning to more students through the Hawk Advantage program.
Hawk Advantage students are enrolled in distinctive general education courses and have access to resources, guidance, and personalized assistance, including support with time management, study techniques, and academic strategies. These are essential skills for meeting the demands of college-level coursework.
Our unique support sets students up for success on day one—and beyond. Students are first admitted into their school or college and area of study. Applications are then reviewed to determine whether a student would benefit from participation in the Hawk Advantage program for some or all of their general education coursework.
The Hawk Advantage program provides academic support in areas such as writing, math, and science.
Learn more about UHart's Hawk Advantage program, offering personalized support, small classes, and student-focused learning.
UHart creates a new structure for Hillyer College of Arts and Sciences effective July 1, 2026.
Congratulations to our second-year students on their academic achievements!
Dayna Dinnall participated in the Legislative Internship Program, where she worked for House Representative Charlie L. Stallworth and would go to the State Capitol, specifically to the Democratic caucus room, to assist her legislator.
With approximately 15 percent fewer internship placement opportunities available due to legislator turnover last spring—and more student applications than ever to the program—the selection process was highly competitive.
This internship has changed my perspective and potentially expanded my career opportunities after college. My time at the Connecticut General Assembly has been an experience of a lifetime, to say the least.
Hillyer helps you unleash your potential for academic success, but that’s just the beginning. The confidence you gain in the classroom will serve you well as you embark on your professional career.
