As move-in weekend approaches at UConn, you can already feel the excitement as we prepare for the Huskies to return! Through this newsletter, we’ll help you stay connected to UConn as your student continues their education.

There’s lots coming up this fall. We’ve compiled a list of important dates in the 2017-2018 academic year you won’t want to miss. I especially hope to see you October 6-8 for Family Weekend, which includes the Legacy Breakfast for alumni families.

Want to meet other UConn parents and support enhanced leadership programming and student activities outside of the classroom? Learn more about the Parents Fund and the Parents Fund Council and join us.

Thanks for being the proud parent of a UConn Husky!

All the best,

Rachel Marshall
Director of Development, Parent and Family Giving

I hope you are having a wonderful summer!

I’ve been thinking about the words of the Greek storyteller, Aesop: “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” Truly, they are words that remind me of you. Each time you donate your time, treasure, and talent, you transform yet another UConn student’s life.

I see this transformation in countless thank-you notes that cross my desk from grateful students. What’s most inspiring is how many say they can’t wait to pay it forward. As one student recently said to their donor, “I hope one day I will be able to help UConn students… achieve their goals just as you have helped me.” Your generosity is building a culture of giving that is essential to our continued success as a University. Thank you!

We hope you, as an Oak Grove Society member, enjoy this first look at our new edition of Inside UConn Nation. You’ll learn about what’s going on at UConn and the noteworthy achievements of our alumni. You may even help solve a mystery in our new Mystery Photo feature.

With gratitude,
Josh
