To our friends in the UConn community,

This year, as in years past, those of us affiliated with the University of Connecticut have much for which to be thankful. Even in these economically challenging times, UConn continues to move ahead on multiple fronts – educating more than 30,000 outstanding students, supporting a faculty whose research expands knowledge in a wide range of fields, and contributing to the quality of life for all of Connecticut’s residents. Now more than ever, we stand as an example of what a public university can contribute to its state and nation. The achievements of our faculty, the commitment of our students, and the success of our alumni are all cause for celebration.

As we continue to undergo significant improvements to our campuses, we still can enjoy the physical beauty of our scenic New England location as we prepare for the holidays.

I wish all of you a joyous holiday season and a happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Philip E. Austin
Interim President
University of Connecticut
