Dear UConn Hartford Students, As noted in earlier campus messaging, we have been asked by central administration to develop and implement a campus strategic plan. I am excited to use this opportunity to build on the already excellent work we are doing for our students and community. We invite you to join with the Strategic Planning Committee to discuss objectives, metrics & initiatives as we move along in the planning process: Campus Strategic Planning | Student Forum Wednesday, September 25th 10:00 a.m. to ~11:30 a.m. In-Person: HTB 216 Remote: Teams We look forward to further discussions with you on this important endeavor. In community, Mark Mark Overmyer-Velázquez, PhD Dean and Chief Administrative Officer UConn Hartford Professor of History and Latinx Studies

We here at UConn PD believe a safe community begins with cooperation and a deeply held belief that we can work together to solve the issues we face. Communication, cooperation, planning, empathy, and respect are just a few of the elements that a community needs to be safe and thrive. To this end, we are proud to offer an immersive Teambuilding and Communication Workshop that allows participants to explore and learn both as individuals and as a group. These workshops feature a variety of games and group initiative projects that are specifically designed to allow participants to explore their group and themselves. Focus is placed on problem solving, interpersonal and group communication skills, leadership traits, organizational processes, adventurous daring-do, productive silliness and more. One of the core concepts of experiential learning is challenge of choice. We learn most when we step outside of our comfort zones, but positively reinforced learning stops when we enter a panic zone. All of the activities we include in our program are structured and sequenced in a manner that allows participants to learn and grow while acknowledging that each element of every activity might not be for every individual. We will encourage everyone to participate past their comfort zone and into an area of true exploration while empowering participants to help guide their own adventure.

UConn Sexpert Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a new, free service offered by peer health educators, the UConn Sexperts, on the UConn Storrs campus! Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a great option for students who have questions about sex and sexual health, are looking for a non-judgmental, laid-back environment to discuss a sex related concern or issue, or are interested in improving their sexual health and personal well-being. Our UConn Sexperts are trained to provide education, support, and connection to resources on and off-campus on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sex, sexual health, and relationships. Mondays: 11:00am-4:00pm                                                                                        Tuesdays: 3:00pm-6:30pm                                                                                    Wednesdays: 10:30am-6:30pm                                                                                Thursdays: 3:30pm-6:30pm                                                                                        Fridays: 10:30am-5:00pm UConn Sexperts (and supervising staff) are designated confidential employees under UConn's Title IX Reporting Obligations.
