Huge shoutout to our team and our wonderful students for keeping the #UConnPromise!
Pictured here is the surveillance testing site at the Field House. We are routinely testing non-symptomatic students on Storrs campus.
Selected students should receive a secure message prompting them to schedule an appointment online for testing.
All students are encouraged to be tested regardless of whether or not they have been randomly selected.

Join us TODAY and every Tuesday for Recovery Yoga!
We combine trusted recovery meeting formats with pranayama breathing and vinyasa yoga. This practice of breathing between vulnerable stories & feelings has been proven to calm the mind and help to re-wire our brain to lessen any negative emotions.
This is a safe space for those who struggle with addiction, affected by and/or support the recovery lifestyle.

Staying is safe is more important now than ever before! 💯

Just head to studenthealth.uconn.edu/gloveBOX and submit your order! 📅 Our first shipment will go out on Tuesday, September 1st.
As a reminder, students living on campus should follow all health and safety procedures set forth by Reslife, and be familiar with guest and physical distancing policies before engaging in sexual activity. 😷 For more information about safer-sex during a pandemic, visit www.studenthealth.uconn.edu/health-promotion/sexual-health.
