Special Events and Receptions

  • 3/7 Ignite Day

    Ignite day is a day celebrating Ignite, which is a crowdfunding competition in which student groups are competing for the highest number of donors to their UConn cause, for a chance to win a portion of $20,000 in bonus prize money. 

    Come meet the 30 Ignite teams competing to win bonus prize money and make your $5 donation to help one team win the top prize!

    Student groups will have tables with information about their organization and what they are fundraising for. There will be competitions for the groups on the best display, and the best pitch, so it will be an exciting event!

    There will also be the opportunity to make a donation through cash, check, and credit card throughout the day.

    This event will occur in the Student Union Ballroom from 11am-2pm. For more information, check out the Facebook Event.
