Center for International Business Education and Research

Hello everyone, Normaliz here! After months of planning, I was able to once again be in the Management Team of the C.I.B.E.R. Case Competitions, this past October. It is a unique experience for Undergraduates of both UConn and outside schools. The Competition can be summed in four days of hardwork, teambuilding, and fun!! The University […]

Uniting Cultures

Hi everyone, Jana here! Although I’m the daughter of a former professional soccer player, I am sorry to report that athletics are not my forte! Unfortunately, I am not very coordinated or fast. However, I am still very passionate about soccer and its role as a global unifier and peace maker. I am a great […]

It’s great to see a newer organization expand and take some […]

Getting to Know Your Professors

Hey Huskymaniacs it’s Paul, This post is about professors. Specifically, the great opportunity we as students have to build friendships with them.

My role as a Daily Campus editor

Hi all! Mike here, When I am not giving tours for the LVC, I am often fulfilling my duties for my other on campus job at The Daily Campus. The Daily Campus, or “DC”, is UConn’s very own student-run newspaper. Although it is an independent body and is not run directly through the University of […]

Going 17,000 Miles Away From UConn

Hey all, Sarah here! So, I will not be giving tours at the Lodewick Visitors Center next semester (Spring 2013) because I will not be at UConn—or in the United States for that matter!

UConn’s Krav Maga Club

Hello everyone it’s Sebastian! “Krav ma-what?” is often what I get when I tell people I am involved in Krav Maga. I guess it does sound bizarre. Krav Maga is the Israeli defense fighting form, the same form taught to the world-class Israeli army. It has gained notoriety for its intensity and almost savage reputation. […]
