As the only public univer- sity in New England with its own schools of law, medicine, dental medicine and social work, UConn offers comprehensive, highly acclaimed educational opportunities. UConn has been designated a Carnegie Foundation Research University-Extensive, a distinction shared by fewer than four per- cent of America’s higher education institu- tions that are lauded for their breadth and range of research. 224 2004 UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT Location The University of Connecticut’s main campus is located in Storrs, about 30 minutes from Hartford, the state’s capital city. UConn is also within driving distance of Boston, New York City and Providence. The University has regional campuses at Avery Point, Stamford, Torrington, Waterbury and West Hartford. UConn’s Health Center in Farmington and Schools of Social Work, and Law in the greater Hartford area complete the University’s wide range of high quality programs in a number of ideal locations.

In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub­ lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world.

  • Pratt & Whitney
    Pratt & Whitney Pratt & Whitney Type Subsidiary of UTC Founded 1860 Headquarters East Hartford, Connecticut Key people Steven Finger, President Industry Aerospace Aircraft engines Products Gas turbines Spacecraft propulsion Website Pratt & Whitney Pratt & Whitney is an American aircraft engine manufacturer whose products are widely used in both civil and military aircraft. As one of the "big three" aero-engine manufacturers, it competes with General Electric and Rolls-Royce, although it has also formed joint ventures with both of these companies. In addition to aircraft engines, Pratt & Whitney manufactures fixed gas turbines for industry and power generation, marine turbines, railway locomotive engines, and rocket engines. History The Pratt & Whitney Company was founded in 1860 by Francis Pratt and Amos Whitney, with headquarters in Hartford, Connecticut. The company manufactured machine tools, tools for the makers of sewing machines, and gun-making machinery for use by the Union Army during the American Civil War. In 1925, Frederick Brant Rentschler approached Pratt & Whitney looking for funds and a location to build his new aircraft engine. Pratt & Whitney loaned him $250,000, the use of the Pratt & Whitney name, and space in their building. This was the beginning of the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company. Pratt & Whitney's first engine, the Wasp, was completed on Christmas Eve 1925. The Wasp developed 425 horsepower (317 kW) on its third test run. It easily passed the Navy qualification test in March 1926, and by October the Navy had ordered 200 engines. The Wasp exhibited speed, climb, performance and reliability that revolutionized American aviation. In 1929, Frederick Rentschler ended his association with Pratt & Whitney Machine Tool and formed United Aircraft and Transport Corporation, the predecessor to today's United Technologies.

  • Sustainability of Pratt & Whitney Tom Manning, University of Connecticut
    Sustainability of Pratt & Whitney Tom Manning, University of Connecticut, Waterbury CT USA Timothy J. Dowding, University of Connecticut, Stamford CT USA ABSTRACT This paper examines Pratt & Whitney’s corporate strategy of sustainability in its use of titanium and alloy ores in the manufacturing of its aircraft. It discusses the value chain of titanium and alloy ores from its initial extraction from the earth; it’s transformation into metal components and final incorporation as a key component in its aircraft. In addition, a sustainability audit of Pratt is conducted using 3 different audit tools that are accepted in the sustainability community. The sustainability audit is analyzed with recommendations as to how Pratt can improve its sustainability performance as a corporation. INTRODUCTION The definition of sustainable development has taken on many forms [1] and was defined in the World Health Organization 1987 Brundtland Commission Report as “sustainability meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” [2]. In terms of our daily lives, it makes sense to behave in this manner for living daily and taking care of the planet for others to benefit. However, when we apply this approach to corporations and large businesses it can get quite cumbersome. How does a company accomplish meeting its needs while leaving the ability of future generations to do the same? When we consider this, three operational criteria arise. First, economic objectives should not be maximized without satisfying environmental and social constraints. Second, environmental benefits should not necessarily be maximized without satisfying economic and social constraints.
