Congratulations to our President and CEO Sabrina Trocchi, PhD, MPA, for being named the graduate program commencement speaker for the University of Hartford!
🎓 Big news, Hawks — meet your 2026 Commencement speakers!
We're thrilled to announce two incredible UHart alumnae who've risen to the very top of their fields will take the stage on Sunday, May 17 at PeoplesBank Arena.
🏀 Kathleen Behrens '85 — President for Social Responsibility & Player Programs at the NBA — will address our undergraduate graduates. From playing basketball and leading Student Government right here at UHart, to shaping one of the most powerful sports leagues in the world, Kathy's story is proof of what's possible.
❤️ Sabrina Trocchi MPA '96 — President & CEO of Wheeler Health — will inspire our graduate students. Under her leadership, Wheeler now serves more than 70,000 people across Connecticut, and she's been recognized time and again as one of the state's most impactful leaders in health care.
Two Hawks. Two trailblazers. One unforgettable day.
