Kaplan's reflections were featured alongside those of the presidents of Yale, Quinnipiac, and the University of Hartford as part of a feature examining the innovations and industries that are helping Connecticut complete in the global marketplace.

Underpinning the state's predisposition toward innovation, the article concludes, is one of its most celebrated assets: its higher education environment. The University, says President Kaplan, is proud to contribute to the state's economy by educating students who meet the workforce needs of the state's leading employers, even before they graduate.


We have an enormous number of students that do internships, that have hands-on learning experiences, and that's because of the strong ties we have to the business community.

– President Steve Kaplan
