The goalkeeper for Men's Soccer, who says he dreamed of being a UConn Husky since he was 5 years old, excels in the classroom as well as on the field.

Nearly 1,200 UConn students, faculty, and staff rallied at the Field House on Wednesday to protest a budget approved by the state legislature that would cut $309 million from UConn’s budget over two years.

John Quiñones, anchor of "What Would You Do?" discussed his upbringing, anti-immigrant sentiment, and his popular TV show at an event on Tuesday celebrating Latino Heritage Month.

With the University facing unprecedented budget cuts, students have organized a rally on campus, and individuals may express their views directly to their legislators.

The budget recently passed by the General Assembly would result in major reductions to need- and merit-based financial aid for students across the board.

Using brain scans and a 3-D printer, a UConn team made a life-size model of the arteries surgeons must navigate to pull blood clots from stroke victims.

The General Assembly's budget would reduce the state appropriation to UConn by just shy of 30 percent. Campuses would close, financial aid would be slashed, and thousands of jobs in the private economy would be lost.

One of UConn's most visible individuals speaks about UConn's journey to this point.

“To be recognized by our accrediting organization for leading the way and already demonstrating processes that promote patient safety and quality means a great deal to all of us,” said Dr. Kiki Nissen of UConn School of Medicine.

President Herbst outlines the likely impact the approved budget would have on the University.
