Good public universities support the education and workforce needs of a state, but a great public flagship research university is the crown jewel of its state, uplifting the minds and spirits not just of its own students, but of the surrounding communities, the entire state and beyond. There are many ways in which UConn enhances Connecticut’s economic, social, physical and cultural health. Though we have a national and global impact as a research institution and so much of our work benefits society at large, our first priority is to serve the people of Connecticut. We are proud to carry out that mission.” — President Thomas Katsouleas
