NOW WHAT?
Now What?
A series of small dialogues about working past the election and seeing through to the future.
Amidst an unprecedented year, all eyes are on November 3rd. But what comes next? Starting Wednesday, November 4th, UConn faculty and staff will host a series of themed conversations about where we will all go from here. Using the election as a starting point, we will think and feel together about how we, as a community and individuals want to move forward and what we can build now.
See the event details below to register. Check back regularly as we update this page with more dialogues as they are confirmed.
