ATHLETICS DEVELOPMENT

The University of Hartford Department of Athletics, like all universities, relies heavily on alumni, friends, family and sponsors to donate resources to support the various sports teams. In order to strengthen its position as a Division I program and a competitive member of the America East Conference, financial contributions are critical. Although we appreciate the many ways you support us, financial contributions enable us to do many things for our student-athletes. There is no better way to make a direct difference.

Donors to the Department of Athletics become members of The Hawk Club. Donors can specify which sports their contributions will support. There are various levels of The Hawk Club, depending on amounts donated, which correspond to certain benefits.
