We really love being a seaside campus. So much so, that we have a 360º video just for you! Step inside Seaside Park and take in the waves, the fresh air, and the relaxing vibe that being on the coast helps with. It's quiet now, but before we know it our Purple Knights will be back on campus, soaking it all in!

This past weekend, University of Bridgeport welcomed prospective students and their families to campus for our Spring Open House! 💜

As high school juniors begin preparing for senior year and the upcoming college application season, Open House provides an opportunity to experience UB beyond the brochure — meeting faculty, exploring academic spaces, learning about financial aid and student support, and discovering what life as a Purple Knight is really like.

Attendees had the chance to tour campus, connect with current students and staff, and get an inside look at programs like Nursing and Dental Hygiene through hands-on facility tours and conversations with faculty.

Thank you to all of the students and families who joined us. We’re excited for what’s ahead and hope this was the start of your UB journey.

Keep the learning going, visit bridgeport.edu/ubelong to stay in the know!

Two University of Bridgeport alum are celebrating graduations this spring. But before either of them crossed that stage, they spent this semester doing something else: teaching Bridgeport eighth graders how to show up civically. Tra'Nisha Blackwell just earned her Ed.D. from University of Bridgeport. Nyla Blackmon just completed her BS in Mechanical Engineering.

Tra'Nisha leads UB's Office of Civic Engagement and built the Honors Civic Fellows program from the ground up. She connected 15 UB honors students with five Bridgeport public schools for workshops on civic responsibility, leadership, and community engagement. Nyla was one of those fellows.

When Nyla's group of eighth graders at Discovery Magnet chose mass deportation as their civic issue and wrote letters that felt like real City Hall testimony, she said she had to reckon with something: they knew things she didn't learn until college.

Both sat down with John Voket on the award-winning radio show "For the People" to discuss what the program is, where it's headed, and why it matters.

Two voices. One unforgettable moment.

At our 116th Commencement, student speakers Ananda Lailah Lindsey ’26 and Sebastian Alix-Trabucco ’26 delivered powerful reflections that captured the heart of the Class of 2026 experience.

To the undergraduates, Ananda reminded us that the college journey isn’t just defined by accomplishments, but by the challenges behind them — the moments of doubt, growth, and resilience that shape who we become. As she shared, “We didn’t just survive college… we evolved through it.”

For the graduate ceremony, Sebastian spoke to the power of perseverance, adaptability, and believing in yourself — highlighting the many paths, responsibilities, and lived experiences that brought this class to the finish line. “Today is more than a ceremony… it’s a moment of proof.”

Together, their words reflected what it truly means to be part of this graduating class, resilient, driven, and ready to make an impact.
