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.

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.
