The University of Connecticut Avery Point turns 50 this year! To celebrate the last five decades, we are hosting a festival on Sunday October 15th at the Avery Point Campus.
The festival is a family friendly event that will provide entertainment, activities, and educational events for people of every age. There will be live music, athletic events, local food trucks, and numerous hands-on learning activities brought to you by the Marine Science Department, the Maritime Studies Department, and the numerous other academic and athletic programs on our campus.
The Branford House Lawn will be the spot to listen to local bands and enjoy a delicious meal from one of the food trucks, all while admiring the view of the sound. The New Green will be the place to start a geocaching adventure or scavenger hunt with a pirate them. Individuals can view items that will be placed into a time capsule and interact with student clubs. Inside the Branford house there will be numerous displays chronicling the history of our campus. Education and research talks, demonstrations, and interactive activities will take place in the Marine Science Building, the Academic Center, and the Library. For those interested in athletics, there will be events at the gym and baseball field. Clearly there will be something for everyone!
Avery Point is a thriving campus, largely due to the relationships with local communities. Many of our graduates are living and working in the towns in South Eastern, CT. They are your friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Please join us in celebrating this momentous event. Your generous contribution will provide a chance to showcase your business both in print, and in person, and demonstrate to our community, how much you support our students.
Please save the date of October 15th, 2017 (rain date of October 22nd) and join us in supporting the UConn 50th Anniversary Festival. Please respond to be a part of this opportunity by July 30, 2017 or call Lisa Hasting at 860-405-9262 with any questions or concerns.
