The University of Connecticut generates about $3.4 billion worth of economic activity every year in the state, including more than 24,000 jobs and over $202 million in tax revenue, according to a report released Wednesday by the national research and consulting firm Tripp Umbach.
The report is the most comprehensive measurement to date of the economic value UConn provides to Connecticut, taking in everything from research grants won to the charitable contributions of students, faculty, and staff members.
