A PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY
Martin OӰԭConnor Ӱԭ76, M. Div., J.D.
"This might sound cliché, but ever since I first set foot on this campus in the fall of 1972, I have felt like I was where I needed to be. This institution has provided me with measures of satisfaction, opportunity, and joy for which I will be forever grateful. I am passionate about giving back and doing anything I can to help the University and its students who have come to mean so much to me. This is the only place in the world where I, and these students, have the chance to do all of the great things we get to do."Martin OӰԭConnor Ӱԭ76, M. Div., J.D.

The spotlights featured in this special campaign edition of the University of New Haven Alumni Magazine showcase something fundamental that our students, faculty, alumni, and friends have in common: selflessness and a desire to give back to the world for the opportunities given to them. The Charger Challenge was inspired by individuals like these who have committed themselves to continuing an incredible momentum into a future that beckons with possibility and the promise of imagination, innovation, and impact.
