12 Step Recovery Meetings - Two Offerings! 12 Step Recovery is a fellowship of people who come together to build an individualized program of recovery based on the program's 12 Steps of Recovery. This pathway includes a spiritual component, Higher Power, that is unique to each individual, and that may evolve or change completely over time. 12 Step Recovery at UConn is intended to provide exposure and practice with 1) 12 Steps overall with a strong focus on the first three Steps, 2) primary program components, literature, and guiding principles, and 3) building a community of support and fellowship. 12 Step Recovery is an abstinence-based program designed originally to support people living with addiction to substances; however, it has grown to include other types of addictions and problem behaviors. Meetings are facilitated by students for students. UConn Storrs offers a weekly in-person meeting on campus at Cordial Storrs House, as well as a weekly meeting that is online only. IN-PERSON ONLY, Offered at the UConn Recovery Community Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:00pm Cordial Storrs House, 1332 Storrs Road, Storrs Campus All UConn Students are Welcome - Any campus!

Doggo Friday is a weekly event in the UConn Health Sciences Library where a certified therapy dog visits our library every Friday during the academic year. Students, faculty, and staff can visit our dogs for stress relief and relaxation. Pets, hugs, and belly rubs are all welcome and appreciated by our doggos! While you're there, check out a book from our leisure reading collection, or ask any questions you have to the library staff. As a reminder, all current UConn Health students, faculty, and staff, with a valid UConn Health ID can borrow books from the UConn Health Sciences Library.

17 artists across the UConn community have their artwork on display in our Connector Gallery.
