    The AOD Coalition teamed up with OPIM Innovate in the Business School to host a campus-wide Wellness Case Competition. 

    UConn students were challenged to develop ideas to create a continuum of connectedness and engagement on campus to support student wellbeing. The top three finalists will present their Wellness Case Competition recommendations and we will announce the winning team at the end of the conference.

     

    You can register here for the entire conference, morning session or just the afternoon session.
