SOUTHERN’S LIBERAL EDUCATION
PROGRAM (LEP) is an approach
to learning that empowers and
prepares you to deal with complexity,
diversity, and change. It provides you
with broad knowledge of the wider world
(for example, in science, culture, and society)
as well as in-depth study in a specific area
of interest. • A liberal education helps you
develop a sense of social responsibility, as well as
strong and transferable intellectual and practical skills
such as communication, analytical and problem-solving
skills, and a demonstrated ability to apply knowledge and skills
in real-world settings. All students take this curriculum along
with their major. • The LEP takes you where you need to go to
be successful in college and beyond.
...PREPARINGSTUDENTS

anthropology, compose your own musical
pieces in an electronic music lab, or conduct
hands-on research on Long Island Sound.
• Southern was recently named as the
host site for Connecticut’s first research center
devoted solely to nanotechnology. The center
prepares you for careers in this growth
industry through experience with specialized
equipment, including a state-of-the-art

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
AT SOUTHERN’S SCHOOL OF
BUSINESS, you can research,
buy and sell stocks on an on-
campus “trading floor,” learn
how to establish a brand
and market a product, or
delve into real estate law,
entrepreneurship, and small
business development. •
The faculty is focused on
sharing and practicing
leading organizational,
business, and professional
management theories and
applications, and developing
programs recognized for
innovation, practical
approach, and accessibility.
• Southern business students
recently competed in a real-
world simulation program
along with some of the
world’s most elite universities.
The assignment was to
stabilize a failing company.
The exercise, which simulates
teamwork, decision making,
and quantitative and
presentation skills, reinforced
what it takes for a team to
be successful. The Southern
team scored higher than 99
percent of all schools taking
part in the program. •
Southern’s new School
of Business has transformed
the former Student Center
into a state-of-the-art facility
for business study, including
a Business Success Center,
sponsored by Northeast
Utilities, established to
support our students’
professional development.
• The timing is perfect,
since Southern’s business
programs are in high
demand to meet
Connecticut’s
workforce needs.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
SOUTHERN’S SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
prepares more teachers than
any other institution in the
state, as well as producing
the greatest numbers of
principals and superintend-
ents through its educational
leadership programs. •
As the statewide leader in
graduating highly qualified
special education teachers,
Southern has been tapped by
the state to address the
growing challenge of how
to better educate autistic
children. • Our Center of
Excellence on Autism
Spectrum Disorders, the first
of its kind in the state,
provides a distinctive
resource to improve the
educational and social
experiences of students
diagnosed with a form of
this developmental disability.
• You will work in the field
alongside teachers,
physical therapists,
athletic trainers, and
fitness specialists.

THE SCHOOL OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES provides you
with the opportunity to do clinical practice at local
hospitals and community health centers, work at
counseling centers and social service agencies,
and intern at camps and recreation centers. •
The Connecticut Department of Labor predicts that
Connecticut’s health care demands will increase
60 percent over the next 20 years. • The latest
occupational forecast data suggests a long-term
demand for professionals in the nursing, public health,
and therapy fields, among others. • Southern’s
recent efforts to address the current nursing shortage
include an accelerated program that allows those with
a bachelor’s degree in any discipline to earn a B.S.N.
in one year, half the time it usually takes to earn the
degree. • The school’s yearly trip to Guatemala takes
students out of the traditional classroom setting, enabling
the study of public health in this developing country.

NATIONAL RESEARCH INDICATES THAT LIVING ON CAMPUS contributes to greater overall satisfaction
and success in college. • The convenience of living on campus puts you within walking
distance of your classes, labs, the library, theater, concerts, and sports facilities. •
As a resident, you may also get involved with the student-run Residence Hall
Council, a great way to meet others and develop leadership skills. • Living
Learning Communities offer a unique opportunity to reside with other students
who share similar interests, such as our Sustainability, Health & Wellness,
and International communities. • Whether you live on campus or
commute, our dining services offer personalized dining options for the
ultimate in value and convenience. There are a number of dining
locations throughout campus, including our traditional dining
hall, convenience store, and food court. • Transitioning
from a supportive and protective home environment to
college can generate both excitement and anxiety, from
accepting academic responsibilities to meeting new
people. Our student health services, including
our Granoff Student Health Center, Wellness
Center, and University Counseling Services,
help you adjust to life on campus.
These services include men’s and
women’s health care, individual and
group counseling,outreach and
programming, and consulting
services. • The University

who patrol 24 hours

Born and raised in Rwanda, Africa, Daniel
Ndamwizeye, ’13, is a survivor of the 1994
Rwandan Genocide that killed between 800
thousand and 1 million Hutus and Tutsis.
Ndamwizeye sometimes uses “Trust” as
a surname to simplify situations or for speaking
engagements, and the word has special
significance. Ndamwizeye means, “I trust
him” in Kinyarwanda, one of Rwanda’s
official languages.
Daniel came to the United States as a refugee
in 2005 and in 2013 graduated from Southern
with a B.S. in business administration with a
concentration in management. While excelling
in his courses, he realized extraordinary
accomplishments beyond the classroom, such
as starting his own line of inspirational T-shirts
as well as a nonprofit foundation, The Daniel
Trust Foundation, to benefit orphans in less-
developed countries.
On campus, he was a resident adviser,
member of the African Student Association
and Black Student Union, and president
of Hall Council and the Residence Hall
Association. Through his foundation he raises
awareness on issues that affect orphaned
children and LGBT youth and works on
ways to prevent genocide.

work from the University of Connecticut,
and a doctorate in educational leadership
from Southern in May 2013.
He is the founder and executive director
of Prestige Academy in Wilmington, Del.,
a charter school for boys that opened in
2008 with 103 fifth-graders, with plans
to add one grade per year over the next
three years. Prestige is an urban school
serving a largely at-risk population, but if
Jack has his way, all of his students will
have their sights set on attending college.
In Delaware, there is a 28 percent gap
between whites and all minorities in
college graduation rates at four-year
institutions, the largest difference in the
United States.
Addressing the causes behind such
statistics is a personal goal for Jack,
and the expectation that every student
can and will go to college is deeply
embedded in the academy’s culture.

Carrie Borzillo, ’92, knew early on
that she was interested in music and
entertainment. An entertainment journalist
since age 17, she started out covering the
local music scene for free music magazines
in Connecticut. While a journalism major
at Southern, her determination and power
of persuasion helped her land an
internship at Entertainment Weekly,
despite initially being told that there were
no such opportunities available.
After graduating from Southern, she was
hired by Billboard. Hard work and
perseverance have continued to drive her
success. Carrie has spent several years
covering music and celebrities for
Billboard, Spin, People, US Weekly, and

expert on such television channels as
