    Featured Event: Connecting UConn

    Connecting UConn is an opportunity for UConn Nation to share what they are most proud of. We encourage each department/unit to create a space of inclusion and belonging where people can celebrate one another. 

    There are several ways to create this space of inclusion, belonging and community. We encourage each department/unit to be creative with how they wish to craft this event. Examples include a potluck lunch, breakfast, or afternoon coffee break; or take some time from your day to share and connect with your colleagues.

    To participate, each department/unit will take a photo and submit the picture to the Connecting UConn Padlet. The department(s)/unit(s) who find the most creative way to connect, will be featured on social media and eligible for an award and recognition of finding the most creative way to build community.
