University of ConnecticutStudent Org Updates
We would like to thank all of the students who participated in the Student Organization’s survey held earlier this fall semester. We are pleased to announce that thanks to your input the Student Organization now has a mission, goals and updated by-laws. These changes will make the Student Organization, the sub-organizations and concentration committees better equipped and better able to serve you, the student and our School community.
We hope that these new changes will enhance your present experience at the School but also will serve as a solid foundation for future Student Organization endeavors at the School. If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to learn about how you can get involved in the Student Organization, please contact: Sabrina Adams (sabrina.adams@uconn.edu) or Sally Tamarkin (sally.tamarkin@uconn.edu).
