  • Submit Nominations for GenUN Student Awards

    Dear Faculty and Staff members, 

    GenUN UConn, the newest university chapter of UNA-USA, is hosting the 1st Annual Global Goals Local Leaders Student Awards here at UConn. This award is offered through UNA-USA and seeks to honors students who have demonstrated a commitment to benefitting their communities by participating and/or launching initiatives that support the overarching sustainability goals of the UN. Students from all schools and colleges within the university who have been or are currently involved in such efforts are encouraged to fill out this application to be recognized as a potential honoree at the UConn UN Day Conference to be held on Saturday, October 28, 2017, which is open to the public. Honorees will also have the opportunity to give a short (1-2 minute) speech about their work at the conference, which will feature a panel of esteemed speakers.

    If you know of a student who fits this criteria, please encourage them to apply for this award! The application can be found here:
