Student Opportunities

  • NOW OPEN - Spring 2022 UConn Connects Program

    In its 31st year of supporting students’ success, UConn Connects is the University’s largest volunteer mentoring program offered by the Academic Achievement Center (AAC). 

    The Connects program is designed to provide undergraduate students with the skills and support they need to become academically successful.  UConn Connects provides students the opportunity to meet weekly with a faculty, staff, graduate student or undergraduate peer mentor. These one-on one meetings with a mentor will help them make the necessary changes and stay on track to produce a positive result during your next semester. UConn Connects mentors are knowledgeable about important university resources and are trained to assist you in developing effective strategies for success.

    The UConn Connects program is offered at the Storrs and Hartford Campuses. 

    Our Spring 2022 online application is now open! If you know of any students what would benefit from participating in the UConn Connects program, please encourage to complete our online application at: https://achieve.uconn.edu/connects/sign-up/
