Remembering One of Our StudentsNovember 14th, 2009XXX We Appreciate YouSeptember 22nd, 2009There are only two Student Appreciation Days a year so we make sure that they are something to remember. This past Fall Student Appreciation Day was the largest ever in the history of the Undergraduate Student Government. Among the many vendors and giveaways were included mechanical bull riding, t-shirts, notebooks, corn dogs, pretzels, soda, popcorn, and sunglasses. Every semester, USG holds this event to bring awareness to our presence on campus as the official student voice. The free stuff is just our way of getting our message out there. During the year, we work closely with administrators and other students just like ourselves to bring improvements to student life. We pass legislation and hold events that allow all students to connect with the highest levels of leadership at UConn. There are committees working on a daily basis to make this happen.

This is basically what Huskies of Honor is all about and it’s why USG is helping Rentschler Field become the best college football venue one day at a time. The idea is simple, create an environment at football games that we can be proud of and that can bring honor to our school. Instead of being “those jerks in Storrs,” UConn fans can quickly become “those class-act students from UConn.” While there may be teams that never find out we don’t actually go to school somewhere in Alaska, all teams can learn that we are respectful people that will play hard on the field. USG is helping build school spirt by holding a Block Party with a DJ and free stuff near the student section before each game. If you were at the UNC game you probably saw the USG foam fingers. There was nothing more impressive than a UConn first down with thousands of giant blue hands thrusting forward. Speaking of which, the “stick it in” chant has never been more emphatic, has it?

The Ice Cream Social was a great first opportunity for many new students to meet new friends and enjoy the sudden rush of independence.
