Hello all! My name is Landon Bassett, and I am the Academic Achievement Center’s new STEM coach. As the STEM coach, I will be in the AAC office, Rowe 217, five days a week, ready to answer any of your math, science, and engineering questions. I attended UConn as both an undergraduate and a graduate student, receiving my master’s degree in chemical engineering this past August. Having spent my own time at UConn, I am quite familiar with all sorts of trials and tribulations that a STEM student might encounter in their curricula. #SuccessStartsHere #inspireuconn
