What we do

UConn Hartford's Advocacy & Community Engagement team works to collaboratively support student success and community goals. Our office is an access point for enhancing our university values of social justice advocacy, community engagement, equity, diversity, and inclusion. We actualize our values by four approaches: sharing institutional resources, convening conversations around social responsibility, supporting community partners, and cultivating student leadership and activism. Advocating for a just community requires that we be proximate and responsive to the unfavorable conditions of our shared reality, to engage together, and to re-imagine and co-create a more just future for all.
