Please join us for the Holster Scholar 2018 Research Symposium. The Holster Scholars Program is a highly-selective enrichment opportunity for curious first-year Honors Students that supports in-depth, individualized learning experiences in the summer following a student's first year. The seven 2018 Holster Scholars will be sharing their research projects at this event.

First Year Programs & Learning Communities, in partnership with the Office of Undergraduate Research, presents Research Connections.

This is an event intended to expose first and second year students to undergraduate research through engaging in meaningful interactions with faculty, staff, graduate students, peers and other key partners. This is an informational networking program involving offices, departments and initiatives from across campus, spanning any discipline or area of study.

In partnership with Nerac, Inc., First Year Programs & Learning Communities invites students to attend XcellR8 meetings, where they will be able to talk and network with Nerac's XcellR8 members and UConn faculty and staff - a very special opportunity.

XcellR8 events connect innovative entrepreneurs with knowledgeable experts and angel investors in meetings where the entrepreneurs pitch their ideas or where they are in developing a start-up company so the audience can brainstorm strategies, provide feedback and share ideas.

UConn signup and more information about each meeting will be available closer to the dates.
