Learning Community Kickoff
|
The 2017 Learning Community Kickoff was a success! Over 1,400 students from 30 different Learning Communities attend this annual Husky WOW tradition. The guest speaker, Dr. Michael Gilbert and the five student speakers; Maggie Balogh, Joel Thomas, Aziz Sandhu, Amy Cerezo, and Vince Zhang, did a fantastic job addressing the group. A special shout out to our MC, Justis Lopez, Alumni of Leadership House, for his great energy and helping to kickoff another great year in Learning Communities.

Grand Opening of NextGen Hall
|
Next Generation Connecticut Hall, UConn's first building completed under the STEM initiative, represents the first time UConn has constructed a residence hall with learning communities in mind. It houses over 700 undergraduate students among 8 floors, including first- and second-year students, floor mentors and RAs. Students dine in Putnam Refectory, which was renovated this past summer to include a second floor to accommodate the increased population of students in the Hilltop area. Eight of our 30 learning communities on campus reside in NextGen, each with their own community room on the first or basement floor, used for FYE classes and various seminars.
NextGen Hall is LEED certified, with several 'Green' features such as a roof garden, solar panels and an energy dashboard on the first floor, informing students of how much energy the building is using. You can also find the NextGen Forum/Idea Lab on the first floor, a space for public speakers, seminars and events; and the Learning Community Office suite, located in room 114. The basement of NextGen Hall is equipped with 32 washers and 16 dryers, and features our Innovation Zone - a "Maker space" tailored for students to work in teams to solve problems, create projects, and learn together. All learning community students will have access to state-of-the-art equipment including several 3D printers, a laser cutter, and more. It is an exciting time to be a learning community student!
