There is always something to do, see, and learn on campus. Check out all of our events.
All incoming UConn students (both transfer and first-year) are required to attend one of our On-campus New Student Orientation sessions. These sessions give incoming students the opportunity to learn more about our campus resources, to meet other incoming students, to consult with an Academic Advisor, and to create their upcoming semester class schedule.
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Connecticut will host its Fall 2024 Open House at UConn’s Waterbury campus on Friday, August 2, starting at 9:30 A.M. The event is free, and open to everyone.
Open house attendees can enjoy an assortment of sample classes, which serve as previews for full-length courses held in the fall. Complimentary refreshments, free parking and opportunities to chat with OLLI members will round out the morning.
The OLLI Open House will be held at the UConn Waterbury Campus Main Building (99 East Main Street, Waterbury, CT 06702). There will be free parking on the day of the event in UConn’s attached parking garage (entrance on 55 North Elm Street). Registration is required in order to get free parking.
