Do you have a favorite photo from your time as a student-athlete at the University of Hartford?
The COVID-19 pandemic caused the abrupt end to winter and spring sports for the 2019-20 academic year, as well as the cancelation of several end-of-the-year activities for all student-athletes. The University of Hartford Department of Athletics would like the opportunity to thank our seniors for their dedication through their chosen sport. As a result, HartfordHawks.com will be posting Senior Salutes for each senior throughout the coming weeks.
