WEST HAVEN, May 3, 2016 — The University of New Haven Mayor’s Advisory Commission has launched a new publication, The Westie Wire.
The commission, known as MAC, is all about connecting two communities: the Westies of West Haven and the students of UNH.
Since its inception in March 2015, the commission has worked with the office of Mayor Edward M. O’Brien to improve university relations and involvement with the city.
The unique undergraduate project, coordinated by UNH assistant professor of political science Chris Haynes, provides feedback on student preferences about West Haven, builds awareness of city events and businesses among the UNH community, helps recruit new student-friendly businesses to West Haven, and facilitates communication and interaction between UNH and city residents.
