Thank you, President Donald J. Trump for the gracious White House welcome & for recognizing the hard work, teamwork, & dedication our @uconnmbb team put into this season. It was a true honor. Our student-athletes continue to make UConn & the great state of Connecticut proud.

A recent @DiverseIssues article acknowledges that more than half of all US college students identify as #firstgen. Dr. Sarah E. Whitley, Ph.D. states: “We must ensure that we’re putting the same effort into supporting first-generation students on campus as we do getting them to campus.”
