UConn Fall Open House
UConn has offered two different Open House dates for prospective students and families to visit campus.  The first Open House was held on Sunday, September 14th and yielded nearly 1,700 students (4,400 including their guests).  We had a ton of great Learning Community student volunteers at the Learning Community Presentation, the tables at the Resource Fair, and EcoHouse students helped by providing bike tours!

The Open House events are a great opportunity for prospective students to learn more about the Learning Community Program and how it is possible to find a small close knit community within the larger University.  The last Fall Open House was held on Sunday, October 19th, we are looking forward to hearing the feedback from the families that visited campus!
