Hear from last year's grand prize winner!
"Overall, activities hosted through the Student Union like Spring Week and various club activities were amazing. This project made me look for opportunities to get involved that I might not have otherwise done before- and now I know what to look out for engagement in the future!"
-Guerlina P.

While Avery Point offers opportunities to engage, we also encourage you to seek intentional experiences in business on the campus of the major you are seeking. Many of our organizations offer virtual ways to engage and hope to connect with students outside of the campus where they host in-person events. | |

Starting college can be very anxiety provoking, especially because you’ll be the new kid on the block and haven’t met many other students on campus. Take a deep breath and join us for “Speed Friending”!!! Speed Friending is an event where individuals are paired off for short periods of time in a round-robin fashion. During these short intervals, each pair will get the opportunity to talk, answer some prompts from the host, make a connection and possibly spark a new friendship. Come with a friend or come to make some new ones! Speed Friending will be a fun event where you can meet a lot of new people in a short amount of time!

UConn students are able to take part in a unique opportunity of flexible, professional, paid work experiences through Micro-Internships. If you are looking for an opportunity to demonstrate your skills, explore career paths, and expand your network, but don’t have time for a traditional internship, these project-centered experiences are perfect for you; most can be completed remotely, typically involve
5-40 hours of work, and are deadline-driven as opposed to set during specific hours.
