It's time for
our third Storrs Center Stroll! UConn students,
alumni, faculty, staff, and friends are invited to
a one-day open house at the new Storrs Center across from campus. If you
haven’t seen the latest offerings, you’re in for a treat.
Enjoy samples from businesses, giveaways, UConn
performing groups,
family-friendly activities, and more. Meet
special guests including Jonathan the Husky
mascot. You'll also find our Student
Alumni Association Prize Patrol
roaming around with giveaways.
This event is free. If you're an alum attending the Stroll, pre-registration using this
online
form is encouraged. Walk-ins are also
very welcome. Be sure to
check-in at the UConn Alumni table on the Betsy Paterson Town
Square to receive your full
event directory, commemorative UConn Nation button that allows access to all business specials, and additional
giveaways. Two-hour free parking is
available in the Storrs
Center Parking Garage and Dog Lane Parking
Lot.
Put on your best blue and white and join us for
some fun!
