Continuing season 2 of Beyond the Summit, New York Times columnist Paul Sullivan ’95 speaks with Trinity College alumni who have devoted their  post-college careers to serving and helping others. In the final installment of this season, Paul speaks with Walter Harrison '68 H'18.

After graduating from Trinity, Walt served as a captain in the Air Force before earning his doctorate and pursuing a career as an educator. He was president of the University of Hartford for nearly 20 years, and he has had many positions on local boards, including Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford Promise, and Capitol Squash (located on Trinity’s campus). In 2018, Trinity awarded him an honorary degree. Walt is currently a member of Trinity’s board of trustees.
