We bring together students, faculty, staff, and community members to create positive change through hands-on experiences, including events, research, and community partnerships.
The CoLab puts the community first by listening to its priorities creating a space where people can share their voices, build relationships, and work together in ways that are mutually beneficial. As the CoLab continues to grow, it aims to expand opportunities for involvement and strengthen connections throughout Hartford and beyond.

Hartford Residents! Join us for dinner and an facilitated discussion
about YOUR community and its unique strengths and needs.
What do you want to see in Hartford? What does our city need more of?
This is your opportunity to share your ideas, experiences, priorities, and vision
for the future of Hartford—and to tell us what kinds of programs, events, resources,
and conversations you want to see in the City and at Hartford Public Library.
LET’S TALK ABOUT:
- What Hartford needs
- What you want to see in your community
- Programs and events you want at HPL
- Topics and conversations that matter to Hartford residents
- Ideas for bringing people together
A moderator/facilitator will guide the conversation, but the residents are the focus.
Registration is required. Dinner will be served.
