A Message From the Executive Director

Welcome Back, Laila!


The best thing I did in college was also the most terrifying. I gave a speech to a room full of professional staff and faculty who work at universities similar to UConn. While I cannot tell you what the topic of that speech was, I draw from that moment every time I speak in front of a large group, even 27 years later. The action I took changed me and propelled me to embark on what has become a 25+ year career.


One risk I took as an undergraduate became the BEST choice I made in college. FIND YOUR UCONN this year by taking action. If you're unsure where to begin, commit to taking one action each week when we send you the LAUNCH list of engagement opportunities. If you need assistance in figuring things out or require a pep talk along the way, remember that we are here, ready to help you LAUNCH your UConn story.


What will you consider the most valuable moments of this year come May? I wish I could predict this for each of you, but I do know that taking action is essential to discover that. Take the leap of faith...embrace the risks... I am genuinely excited for you to unveil the best actions you'll take this year.
