When Neil Valentino ’75 left the U.S. Navy in 1970 and applied to the University of New Haven, he remembers a friend telling him that "college teaches you how to think."
"My education gave me the knowledge and information that I needed to make better decisions, and it opened doors to more opportunities," said Valentino, who majored in economics and enjoyed a rewarding career as an employment counselor. "The University provided me with the environment I needed to succeed, and I will always be grateful for that."
Valentino was one of nearly 200 alumni and friends who attended a celebration at the Museum of Science in Boston to commemorate the University’s upcoming Centennial in 2020. It was the first of several regional events that will take place in the coming months.

Guests also met current students, including Lynnsey Spader ’22 and PJ Tucker ’21, who represented , the University’s award-winning campus radio station. Spader and Tucker, with Bruce Barber, the station’s general manager, interviewed alumni about their favorite memories of being Â鶹´«Ã½s for a series of upcoming podcasts.
"Attending the event in Boston was such an honor," said Spader, a music industry major. "I learned more about the University’s wonderful alumni, and I was fortunate to meet someone who worked at WNHU when it was just starting out. It made me even more proud to be working with the radio station today."
Students and faculty members in each of the University’s colleges and schools presented research and innovative projects underway at the University. Showcases included a presentation by Matthew Sheehy ’19, a mechanical engineering major, who demonstrated a propulsion device he invented, to motorize unpowered modes of transportation.
