Photo Gallery - Campaign Kickoff
On September 26, 2009, the UConn Foundation launched Our University. Our Moment. The Campaign for UConn. A high-energy campaign kickoff event was held immediately preceding the UConn football team's 52-10 victory over the University of Rhode Island at Rentschler Field. Among the presenters were Campaign Chairman Denis McCarthy ’64, ‘65, "Charles and Augustus Storrs," and David Ushery '89, longtime Connecticut reporter and co-anchor of "News 4 New York" on WNBC. To close out the event, UConn President Mike Hogan rallied the crowd and called in the UConn Marching Band and the UConn Spirit Squad for a rousing rendition of the fight song. During the game and at halftime, the crowd viewed the premiere of the University's campaign video and honored Carole and Ray Neag '56, '01H.
