Activities and Events
Student activities and on-campus events are a vital part of the UConn experience, and we are continuously monitoring the state's guidelines and restrictions regarding group gatherings to ensure student safety.
Student organizations will meet virtually through September 20. Following that, student organizations will be able to hold activities and meetings in person in accordance with state guidelines on gathering. University events will occur throughout the residential quarantine period and throughout the fall semester. All events, whether University- or student-led, will need to be carried out in compliance with state guidance.
