Charger 360 is the official video podcast of the University of New Haven. Each episode features guests from across the University with the goal of, as the show's name implies, giving you a 360-degree view of the amazing things going on in Charger Nation. From academics, to athletics, to student life, and beyond, we cover it all... and have some fun in the process.
