Dr. Paulette Trowers was the guest speaker at the University of Hartford’s small business practicum class during the spring semester. Seventeen students were enrolled and are working on diverse projects after being paired on a one-to-one basis with small or micro business owners in the Hartford community. Project areas include technology, research, and architectural design. Dr. Celia Duke Lofink (the class instructor), the guest speaker, and all the students posed for this photograph at the end of the class.
