About the University of Hartford The University of Hartford provides a distinctive educational experience across seven schools and colleges for one of the most diverse studentbodies in New England, comprising approximately 4,600 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate students from 49 states and 47 countries. The University’s faculty are attracted by the opportunity to mentor, challenge, and support students as they pursue degrees in more than 100 programs in the arts, humanities, sciences, business, engineering and technology, education, and health professions. The University’s charter was signed in 957, but its roots go back to 877 when one of the three founding schools, the Hartford Art School, opened. With encouragement from local community and business leaders, the Hartford Art School came together with the Hartt School of Music (now The Hartt School) and Hillyer College in 957 on a 50-acre stretch of farmland on Bloomfield Avenue known as the Gabriel farm, the last farm in Hartford. In the ensuing 64 years, the campus has more than doubled in physical size and the University has matured in ways that its founders may not have dared to imagine.
The University Mace
2 | U N IV E RSI T Y O F HA RT FORD
The University Mace precedes the president and board of regents in academic processions. Maces originated as weapons but in modern times have become symbols of authority. The University Mace (shown at left) is 4 inches long and is crowned by a sterling silver globe, engraved with the name of the University and bearing its seal in 24-karat gold. The poplar shaft bears sterling silver bands on which are engraved the names and dates of service of the University’s presidents, and the names and founding dates of the three institutions that came together to form the University in 957. The base is made of sterling silver and bears the name of the donor, Charles Condon, University secretary and general counsel emeritus. He donated the mace in 197 on the University’s 30th anniversary.

Gregory S. Woodward President University of Hartford
Gregory S. Woodward became the University of Hartford’s sixth president in July 2017. In his tenure, he has energized the UHart community to embrace his commitment to ensure that every enrolled student is successful and graduates. Woodward has led UHart to take a holistic approach to student success, recognizing that it is based on a blend of academic, social, personal, and professional needs. To that end, the former Division of Student Affairs was transformed into the Division of Student Success, incorporating all units related to student life and academic services. This strategy quickly paid off with firstto second-year retention numbers reaching new highs. A composer, musician, athlete, and scholar, Woodward has spent nearly four decades working in almost every conceivable role in higher education. From 2012 to the end of the 2016–17 academic year, he served as president of Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where he strengthened campus-wide engagement and collaboration, thereby fostering a college culture that values collegiality and a spirit of hospitality toward others. Woodward moved to Carthage from Ithaca College (New York), where he led one of the premier undergraduate music conservatories in the country as dean of the School of Music, served as interim provost–vice president for academic affairs, and created and served as the inaugural dean of the Division of Graduate and Professional Studies. While earning his Doctor of Musical Arts from Cornell University, Woodward was a student of Pulitzer Prize-winning Czechoslovakian composer Karel Husa. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Connecticut and master’s degree from Ithaca College, having also studied composition with Donald Martino, Steven Stucky, and Charles Whittenberg. Recently appointed to the New England Board of Higher Education, Woodward is married to Penelope, a decorated public school music teacher, and they have three adult children.

David A. Gordon ’75 Chair University of Hartford Board of Regents
David A. Gordon ’75 has served on the University of Hartford’s Board of Regents since 2008, becoming a vice chair of the Board in 2017 and the chair in 2018. In addition, he is an alumnus of the University, having received a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from the College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions. He also holds a master’s degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Gordon’s contributions to the University have extended beyond his role as a regent. He has served as the chair of the Board of Visitors of the Barney School of Business as well as the chair of the Board of Visitors of the College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions. His professional career has included roles in public education, information technology, executive leadership, and consulting. Upon graduating from UHart, Gordon taught eighth-grade mathematics in Bethel, Connecticut. His career then took him into business—first at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft in information technology, and then at Cigna Corporation, where he held positions in information technology, national accounts management, e-commerce, and product development. Gordon also held the positions of president of Trilog Corporation and president of Choicelinx Corporation, both Cigna subsidiaries. Later in his career, he joined the executive team of ConnectiCare as the senior vice president of strategy and product innovation. Gordon is currently a strategy and business development consultant working with early-stage companies. He is married to Danuta Syp Gordon ’15, an accomplished artist, vice president of the Hartford Art School Endowment, Inc., and an alumna of the Hartford Art School. They have two adult children and four grandchildren.

Honorary Degrees Lucille M. Nickerson Chair Emerita, University of Hartford Board of Regents
Lucille M. Nickerson is chair emerita of the University of Hartford Board of Regents, where she served as chair from May 2013 to May 2018, having first become a regent in 2006. She is the first woman to chair the Board in the institution’s history. Previously a trustee of Hartford College for Women (HCW), a constituent college of the University, Nickerson was instrumental in transitioning the HCW legacy into The Women’s Advancement Initiative, of which she became the founding chair. Today, Women’s Advancement is a vibrant part of the University, offering educational and leadership opportunities to students, faculty, and staff with a primary emphasis on the LEAD (Leadership Education and Development) program for undergraduate women. Nickerson’s contributions to the University are many and she has been a visible presence on campus. Over the years, she served in progressively more senior Board leadership roles and, as chair, played a pivotal role in the selection of Gregory Woodward as the University’s sixth president. She also provided leadership vital to a successful presidential transition. Nickerson’s professional career has centered largely around her roles as legal counsel, corporate secretary, and business executive at Aetna, Inc. Following her retirement from Aetna, determined to give back in meaningful ways, she revitalized and ran a Connecticut nonprofit dedicated to providing elementaryage children from low-income families with scholarships to attend private or parochial schools. Nickerson is president and cofounder of Nickerson-Zegarelli Consultants, LLC, which provides strategic, technical, and governance solutions to small businesses and nonprofits. She earned her JD degree with honors from the University of Connecticut School of Law. Nickerson also holds a Master of Science in physiology from UConn. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Connecticut College.
The tradition of bestowing honorary degrees can be traced back to universities in Europe during the Middle Ages, becoming commonplace at institutions of higher learning across the globe long before the University of Hartford was chartered in 1957. Through the years, the University of Hartford has awarded honorary degrees to distinguished scholars, artists, musicians, leaders, and dignitaries. Past recipients include Dizzy Gillespie, Arthur Miller, Benny Goodman, Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel, George Burns, Ann Landers, Arthur Ashe, Carl Sagan, Steve Allen, Jeffrey Bezos, Charles Gibson, Edward Albee, Wolf Blitzer, and Joe Torre.

Olaleye Onikuyide ’20
Quimby Wechter ’20
Economic/Politics and Government College of Arts and Sciences
Health Sciences/Pre-Physical Therapy College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions
From organizing political campaigns to designing an outreach program for Hartford’s homeless population, Olaleye Onikuyide ’20 showed his commitment to community service throughout his years of study at the University of Hartford—building upon his ongoing commitment to social issues and serving others. Onikuyide was an honors student, a College of Arts and Sciences student ambassador, and a student representative to the Board of Regents. He majored in both economics and politics & government in the College of Arts and Sciences. He minored in complexity, the interdisciplinary study of the behavior of multiple interactions. These academic interests are perfectly matched to his desire to solve problems. As an Obama Foundation Community Leadership Fellow in 2019–20, he worked to address the needs of the homeless population in Hartford and helped design a drive to provide backpacks, socks, gloves, first aid kits, hats, haircuts, and job applications for the homeless. Onikuyide also worked on political campaigns during his college years, with the goal of making sure people are participating in the political process. He is also interested in international issues. In the classroom, Onikuyide researched the Icelandic bankruptcy, the World Bank, and the history of oil in Nigeria, which he presented at the First Year Symposium. He applied that experience in presenting his work for attorneys during an internship through the Lawyers Collaborative for Diversity pipeline program at the Hinckley Allen law firm in Hartford, and for executives during his internship at The Hartford Insurance Group.
The success of Quimby Wechter ’20 is proof that you do not have to choose between achieving in the classroom and helping others. Wechter graduated with a 4.0 GPA, constantly striving to use her knowledge to improve the lives of many in the local community. She had many opportunities to do just that as a health sciences–pre-physical therapy major in the College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions. For an independent study project, Wechter created and monitored individual exercise routines and provided manual therapy to young adults with developmental disabilities at the Farmington Valley Transitional Academy on campus. For her honors project and thesis, she worked with Associate Professor of Physical Therapy Sandra Saavedra on groundbreaking research into therapies and treatments for children with cerebral palsy. Wechter is hopeful that “new interventions can be developed to help children with disabilities participate more fully in physical activities, which thereby could increase their motor function and overall quality of life.” She served as a student regent, became the first student to receive the prestigious Emeriti Scholarship twice, received a Dorothy Goodwin Grant from The Women’s Advancement Initiative, and presented at the Northeast Regional Honors Council. Wechter also minored in both business management and biology. She is currently working at Boston Children’s Hospital as a clinical research assistant in the neurology department and looks forward to helping children with spinal muscular atrophy and muscular dystrophy.

Kaitlyn Keeler ’21
Juli Dajci ’21
Bachelor of Science, Finance Barney School of Business
Bachelor of Arts, Politics & Government and Psychology College of Arts and Sciences
Despite a busy schedule spent balancing a three-year accelerated track in the Barney School’s finance program, an internship, and a part-time job, Kaitlyn Keeler ’21 says she has always valued the importance of giving back to the community. Maintaining a 4.0 GPA, she is a member of the University of Hartford Honors Program. Her academic performance has been recognized with a variety of scholarships, including the Michael Miller Scholarship, the FIRM Scholarship, a Corporate Risk Solutions Scholarship, and an R.C. Knox/People’s United Insurance Center Scholarship. Additionally, she was recognized as a University of Hartford “success story” in the summer of 2020. Also, in the summer of 2020, working in the Finance Internship Program with Aetna/CVS Health, she was among the first class of entirely virtual interns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Keeler attributes her academic success to a holistic approach to learning. Besides finance and business, she is passionate about the humanities, as demonstrated by her coursework in gender studies, writing, international studies, and politics. She has earned several writing awards, including first place in the 2020 Doyle Prize for Best Critical Essay for her essay titled “Seeking Sanctuary” about the benefits of immigrant sanctuary cities in the United States. She was also awarded second place in the 2020 Doyle Prize for Best Personal Essay for a piece titled “The World Through a Filter,” an essay regarding the effects of social media on female body image and self-confidence. As a member of the Barney Leadership Council, she has participated in fundraising events with community groups such as Junior Achievement, community cleanups, and partnerships with organizations such as Foodshare. Keeler intends to continue refining her skills as a strong finance leader through Aetna’s Finance Leadership Development Program starting in June.
Pursuing a double major in political science and psychology, Juli Dajci ’21 has distinguished himself as a young scholar committed to intellectual thought, academic and personal integrity, community life, and social justice. The University has recognized his exceptional academic pursuits with numerous awards and scholarships. A University Honors student who has been on the President’s and Dean’s lists every semester, he was named the Herbert P. Schoen scholar in his second year for his academic excellence and a commitment to humanities and social sciences. He was the Humphrey Tonkin Emeriti Association Award recipient for two consecutive years for his intellectual curiosity and contributions to the community. In his junior year, he was a recipient of the Junior Regents Award for the College of Arts and Sciences in recognition of his outstanding GPA. As a fellow in the PAYCE (Palestinian American Youth Civic Engagement) program in his first year, he traveled to Iowa to receive civic engagement training, working with Politics and Government Associate Professor Katharine Owens. This past fall, Dajci was the recipient of the University’s John G. Martin and Marion A. Bills Scholarship to study at Oxford University, where he applied for the MPhil Politics (Political Theory) program. Dajci has offered much to the University and the larger community in his time here, notes Mala L. Matacin, associate professor of psychology. Dajci has been a preceptor and a teaching assistant, served as a peer tutor at the Center for Reading and Writing and the Center for Student Success, and as a resident assistant. He was voted president of the Student Government Association for the 2020–21 academic year, becoming the first international student to serve in the role. “I predict that this young man will be one of the University’s most prominent alumni,” Matacin says. “He has an upbeat personality, keen intelligence, quick wit, is a promising young scholar, and a leader in our community.”
