The University 3Dear Student,At the University of New Haven, we provide world-class career preparation inall our programs. We consider this important to students who seek to achievesuccess in their careers. But we have another priority as well: to preparestudents for meaningful lives. Through our courses in the arts, humanities,and sciences, we cultivate our students’ humanity; and by integratingexperiential learning in our academic programs — through such areas of emphasis as community service,internships, student-faculty research, and student self-governance —we prepare our students for leadership in their careers and as members of a democratic society.The technological and economic complexity, as well as the great cultural diversity of the world in which welive and work, will require that our graduates be exceptionally flexible, compassionate, and tolerant humanbeings. I hope the UNH experience will lead our students and alumni to measure their personal successboth by career achievement and by the positive impact they will have on the lives of others. For this reason,I encourage all students to explore UNH for courses that will serve to both improve their skills and enrichtheir sense of societal responsibility.The faculty at UNH has impressive academic and professional credentials, in many cases bringing withthem national and even international reputations in their field. They are committed in unrivaled waysto the success of each and every one of our students, allowing for the establishing of relationships thatextend beyond their experience at UNH.One of my favorite quotations is from the late Ernest Boyer, a former president of the CarnegieFoundation, who once cautioned that the “crisis of our time relates not to technical competence, but toa loss of the social and historical perspective, to the disastrous divorce of competence from conscience.”As UNH students focus on their studies, I encourage them to also allow some time to look for ways toimprove the world that they will help to form as members of a global society.I wish all our students success in their studies and personal enrichment through their experiences at theUniversity of New Haven.Sincerely,Steven H. KaplanPresident

10HistoryThe University of New Haven was founded in1920 as the New Haven YMCA Junior College, adivision of Northeastern University.
