It is difficult to overstate the University of Connecticut's footprint on life in Connecticut. In addition to its $6.9 billion impact on the state's economy, UConn's faculty, staff, students and alumni have an outsized influence on the cultural fabric of Connecticut. It produces leaders in business, health, science and the arts. UConn Strong exists to demonstrate this connection and ensure that UConn remains a top flight national university, preparing graduates for all the challenges we are going to face.
