    Due to the broad range of Mayor's Advisory Commission activities, we have been covered by local media on a number of occasions. Check out these stories and videos to get a greater sense of what we do!

    "WestFest “will feature local businesses and artists showcasing what West Haven has to offer culturally,” said student Benjamin Atwater, one of the organizers and a member of the UNH Mayor’s Advisory Commission."'

    -Middletown Press, August 2015

    "Following in the ever progressing trend of the University of New Haven, a new commission of students has been formed to further the relationship between West Haven and UNH."

    -The Charger Bulletin, April 2015

    "This year’s WestFest once again will feature local businesses and artists, including restaurants such as Cappetta’s Italian Imports, Louise’s Bakery and several local food trucks. Other featured businesses will range from hair salons to auto shops."

    -New Haven Register, September 2016

    "Local businesses and artists had tables set up to show students what the community has to offer. Student groups also had tables set up where they could meet with people in the community."
