The University of Connecticut is offering students a new opportunity to earn three credits this summer with their recently introduced Recreational Trails course (NRE 4695). The course is open to 12 juniors or seniors and will be a part of Summer Session 2, which runs from July 12 to August 13. The course is approximately five weeks long and consists of valuable hands-on learning experiences.
The idea for the class began when Clare Cain, a trails director for the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, was asked by UConn’s Natural Resources and the Environment Department if she would be willing to develop an experiential and field-based course on recreational trails.

This February will mark the 22nd edition of one of the largest and most anticipated events at the University of Connecticut: HuskyTHON. HuskyTHON is a yearlong fundraising campaign for the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The campaign wraps up with an 18-hour dance marathon where the grand fundraising total is revealed.
This year, HuskyTHON will likely look different due to the COVID-19 virus, but it will still be filled with tons of entertainment and excitement. The pandemic has caused the HuskyTHON management team to alter some of the ways it prepares for the event.
