“UConn has prepared me for my future career because I was able to find my voice and confidence as I prepare myself to become a teacher.”

“UConn has prepared me for my future career by consistently pushing me outside of my comfort zone. Every day spent as a teacher should be a step outside of your comfort zone.”

“During my time in the sport management program, I found my passion for emotional branding as well as in advocating against the ongoing injustices in our world.”

“I cannot be who I am right now without UConn. I have taken classes in various content areas to broaden my understanding of the world around me.”
