Welcome to my new blog. This is where I will share items of interest, celebration, or concern with the UConn Health Center community. I have no set schedule for updates; I’ll post new items as they come up, but hopefully a few times each month if not more frequently.

Let me hear from you!
Health Center faculty, staff and students are encouraged to respond with questions, comments, and suggestions. I may use your communication as the topic of a future posting.

Campaign Kickoff Event

I would like to invite the Health Center community to a free ice cream social on Friday, September 25, at 1 p.m. in the Courtyard (rain location: Food Court) to celebrate the launch of UConn’s new comprehensive campaign, “Our University. Our Moment. The Campaign for UConn.” The campaign’s goal is to raise $600 million to establish new endowment and operating funds, including $155 million for the UConn Health Center.

Ice cream from the UConn Dairy Bar will be provided by the UConn Foundation/Office of Development and Alumni Relations and served on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, there will be a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to the Max Restaurant Group, and brief remarks at 1:30 p.m. The Storrs campus will also celebrate the campaign kickoff on Friday with a free ice cream social at 12:30 p.m. at Fairfield Way. Other events will follow throughout the year. I hope that you will be able to join us as we launch this campaign at the UConn Health Center.
