The University of New Haven today announced that New Haven Mayor Toni N. Harp and Regina Rush-Kittle, deputy commissioner of the State of Connecticut’s Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, will be featured speakers at its Commencement exercises on Wednesday, May 22, at the Toyota Presents Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford.
As part of the ceremonies, the University will award nearly 1,400 undergraduate and graduate degrees.
