I would like to invite the Health Center community to a free ice cream social on Friday, September 25, at 1 p.m. in the Courtyard (rain location: Food Court) to celebrate the launch of UConn’s new comprehensive campaign, “Our University. Our Moment. The Campaign for UConn.” The campaign’s goal is to raise $600 million to establish new endowment and operating funds, including $155 million for the UConn Health Center.

Ice cream from the UConn Dairy Bar will be provided by the UConn Foundation/Office of Development and Alumni Relations and served on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, there will be a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to the Max Restaurant Group, and brief remarks at 1:30 p.m. The Storrs campus will also celebrate the campaign kickoff on Friday with a free ice cream social at 12:30 p.m. at Fairfield Way. Other events will follow throughout the year. I hope that you will be able to join us as we launch this campaign at the UConn Health Center.
