Support the OS
UConn@COP Fund
The UConn@COP Fund supports the UConn@COP Fellowship program, helping the OS send a cohort of students each year to the annual Conference of the Parties. Through UConn@COP, students have participated in panels at international press conferences, networked with global environmental leaders, and heard from and interacted with international delegates and core members of international environmental justice movements. UConn@COP is an incredible, transformative experience for fellows, and it would not be possible without the support of generous donors!
“...the highlight of my college experience thus far.” - Delaney Meyer (ENG ‘20)
“I learned more during the weeks at COP than I have in all of my classes, and gained renewed hope that others share my desire for action.” - Jon Ursillo (CLAS ‘20).
Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF)
The Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) finances programs and initiatives that support students and advance UConn’s position as a global leader in university sustainability. Contributions to the CSF provide critical funding of transformative learning experiences for students including hands-on professional development through internships and research projects that nurture our natural environments, improve health and wellbeing, and enhance environmental justice in the communities which we serve. The CSF also funds our experiential learning events such as the Haunted HEEP, the UConn-famous annual haunted trail walk at the Hillside Environmental Education Park.
“As a Sustainability Intern, working with the OS taught me valuable professional skills that I know I will draw upon in my career. These experiences have grown my confidence and helped me gain valuable leadership skills from working with the team on sustainability reporting, event planning and management.” - Lillian Adamo (CLAS ‘24)
Sponsorships from the companies below have also enabled transformative learning experiences for UConn students.
