A Message from Student Activities

Welcome to UConn! College life is a lot better when you are doing things in addition to your classes that are meaningful and fun. When
you have yourself organized for success, it’s even better! That’s why we put together this magazine. It’s the ultimate guide for students
new to Storrs. It includes information about places to go on campus, fun activities, and how you can get involved in student organizations.
We also included information about getting organized and staying healthy, as well as information about the things that worry new
students, like being shy or feeling as though you don’t fit in because you are not a typical new student. If you need help getting
connected, just reach out! We are here for you!
