My Long Journey to UConn

Hello everyone, Lauren B. here, For my first blog post, I figured it is only fitting to illustrate the long journey that brought me to UConn. It seems like it was just last week I was a high school senior in my hometown of South Windsor, Connecticut, suffering from a severe case of Senioritis, but [...]

Erica ‘Daredevil’ Leib

Hi all, Taylor here! I could not put in to words how much I adore my job as an LVC Colleague at the University of Connecticut.  Being a part of this outstanding community has been one of the best decisions I have made since my enrollment to UConn.  As part of our role here as [...]

Allie Fitzpatrick: Goal-kicking Sorority Queen

Hi World, Ricky here, Today I am here to write about yet another outstanding member of the LVC family.  You can often find her around the Visitors Center practicing her sorority squat or her free kicks (when she isn’t studying for Biochem, of course).  That’s right folks; today’s blog is about none other than Allie [...]

If you can, take a class with this man!

Whitney Washburn, ON A BOAT!

Greetings blog readers!  It’s Hina, My Colleagues at the Visitors Center are pretty amazing people.  They’re involved in so many clubs, sports, fraternities, sororities, community service programs, internships, and other extra-curricular activities that it’s hard to believe they even have the time to work as tour guides with their busy schedules.  One of these amazing [...]

Chris M… Kicking it at UConn

Hi all! Brooke here, I had the opportunity to sit down with my fellow colleague Chris and get to know him a little better. One thing I knew about Chris before this interview was that he could be coerced into doing anything for food. Therefore, our little chat occurred over plates (yes multiple, the kid [...]

Super Student Colby

Hello, Nisarg here, Recently, I had a wonderful chat with one of my LVC Colleagues Colby, who was in her usual niche, the 4th floor of the Pharmacy building! I have not known her for too long, but I learned a lot about her!! For starters, her family is of Polish decent which interested me [...]
