BUILD Hartford creates the opportunity for students to immerse themselves within the city as they dive into entrepreneurial education and real-world applications. Students network with members of the city to understand the history of the city from personal experiences and perspectives, discover opportunities and create innovative projects that can aid in the development of the city with the use of tools provided to students through the BUILD Hartford curriculum.
In the fall course, BADM 4895: BUILD Hartford, students will gain knowledge about the entrepreneurial ecosystem within the city of Hartford. This provides opportunities for students to analyze real world data and listen to speakers that not only have experience in entrepreneurship, but also have a connection to the city. Students will gain an understanding of how to create strategic plans and communicate their ideas to stakeholders around the city.
BUILD Hartford is a 3-credit course open to UConn undergraduate students in all majors from any campus. Please note that you must travel to the Graduate Business Learning Center in Downtown Hartford to attend class.

Therapeutic Yoga skillfully blends movement (yoga poses/somatic exploration) and breathwork, with a meditative focus for a full body practice that calms, nurtures, strengthens and opens one into flexibility of body and mind.
Freeing you from habitual patterns of tension, this yoga creates a sense of spaciousness within, dissolves stress, strengthens core muscles, joint health, centeredness, postural alignment and groundedness, increases breath capacity and breath awareness, shifts stagnant emotions into movement and release, and is attentive to the subtle stuff of the mind, helping to free us from the driving forces of unconscious actions and thoughts.
