The student whose life was transformed by a scholarship, the patient who received a free mammogram at UConn Health, W and the US veteran who took advantage of job training programs offered by the School of Business. They all benefited from philanthropy. Thanks to generous donors, the UConn Foundation completed one of the most successful fundraising years in its history. Gifts from UConn Nation not only help support students, teaching, research, and patients, they’re also fueling UConn’s rise as one of the nation’s best public universities. We are proud of our role. Accountability is at the core of our success. Every year, an independent accounting firm audits the financial statements to ensure the veracity of the Foundation’s accounting and internal controls. The audited statements in this report were prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers, and provided to UConn, the state’s Office of the Auditors of Public Accounts, and the Office of the Attorney General. Those documents, as well as the Foundation’s policies and the Donor Bill of Rights, are available on our website. Thank you for your continued support!

  • Commencement MAY 2014 WELCOME from the PRESIDENT
    Commencement MAY 2014 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: This is a wonderful and meaningful day for graduates, families and the entire University of Connecticut community. To our graduates, I offer my warmest and most sincere congratulations on your success and your achievements, which each of you has so clearly earned. Today’s commencement exercises are the culmination of your hard work as a student and the symbolic fulfillment of our mission as a university when it comes to your education. I share the pride, excitement and immeasurable hopes for the future that I know each of you feel today. Your education is a great credit to you, and to us; you exemplify the very best we have to offer as you prepare to enter the next chapter of your lives. Today, a degree will be conferred upon you from one of this nation’s truly great public universities. UConn takes great care to ensure that our students are able to receive an education from incredible faculty on a campus that is home to many outstanding facilities. It is also vital that each of our students gain the kind of experience they desire on a thriving campus where as much can be learned and enjoyed outside the classroom, as in it. Whatever your plans for the future may be, I hope that your time here has helped give you the knowledge, experience and confidence that you will need to excel in every aspect of the life you will lead. The goal of higher education is not confined to academic achievement alone; it is also intended to draw from within you those essential qualities that make each of us an educated, well-rounded individual and, above all, a good citizen.
