Thank You

We couldn’t do the important work of teaching and inspiring students without your generous support. Because of you, our students are equipped to become compassionate and responsible citizens—citizens who will make a difference in their communities and the world.

A Bright Future Ahead

Much like our students, the University of Hartford is also transforming as we welcome Lawrence P. Ward as our seventh president. This exciting time at UHart is being led by a president who is daring us to reimagine excellence. President Ward is honored to return home to Hartford where a healthy, vibrant campus is ready to boldly embrace new thinking and possibilities for the future. It is without a doubt, our future success will be achieved together as a community through the continued work of philanthropy. 

We are excited to see what the future brings, and with our deepest gratitude, we thank you for your continued support of our students and our mission.

At this pivotal moment in UHart's history, I'm grateful for the contributions, energy, and efforts from this community. With your support, we will continue to reach new heights. ''

The Grant Family Track and Field at University of Hartford.

Grant Family Track & Field

The track and field complex was made possible thanks to a $1 million leadership gift from Kevin Grant '82 M '86, and gifts from corporate partners, and alumni and friends. The new facility is not only home to our track and field teams and new field hockey program, but has expanded our intramural and club sports and provides recreation opportunities to the entire campus community.
