About University of Connecticut:
The University of Connecticut (UConn) was founded in 1881, and is ranked
within the Top 20 Public Universities and within Top 60 National
Universities in the United States and is amongst the elite institutions
designated as “highest research activity” by the Carnegie Classification
of Institutions of Higher Education. UConn is fully accredited by the New
England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and is a research-
intensive university, a prestigious designation shared by only the nation's
top higher education institutions, with more than 70 focused research
centers where faculty, graduate students and undergraduates explore
everything from improving human health to enhancing public education and
protecting the country’s natural resources. Over the past two decades,
UConn and the State of Connecticut have invested heavily in building STEM
programs to meet next generation workforce needs. Over $2.8B has supported
capital projects to advance UConn’s teaching and research. In 2013, the
State committed an additional $1.7B through Next Generation Connecticut to
further support infrastructure development and the hiring of 200 new faculty

Partnership Building offer resources that support basic research and
technology translation. The primary 4,400-acre (17.8 km2) campus at Storrs
is approximately a half hour's drive from Hartford and in between Boston and
New York City with an hour and half drive from each.
