A Bold Path Forward
We are pleased to share with you the digital edition of the Winter 2022 University of New Haven Alumni Magazine. In this issue, we spotlight the multitude of good news taking place on campus. Highlights of this issue include the 2026 Strategic Plan and a Q&A with athletic director Sheahon Zenger, including his thoughts about our plans to pursue Division I. Alumni stories include that of Clarissa Beyah ’05 MBA, chief communications officer for Union Pacific Railroad and founder and former president of Writer’s Block Ink., and Rachel Buck ’19, whose lifesaving bone marrow donation was a result of the University’s affiliation with Be The Match. We also recap Homecoming Weekend 2021, including Centennial Commencement and the groundbreaking for the Peterson Performance Center, and look ahead to the Alumni Association’s new initiative, the Oral History Project.
After you're finished reading, we encourage you to take this brief survey and tell us what you think of the alumni magazine. 50 participants will be randomly selected to receive a University-branded drawstring bag, and one grand prize winner will receive a $100 gift card to the University Bookstore!
