October is the Month of Discovery!

We invite you to engage with a variety of UConn programs at any number of exciting events. October will connect you to the opportunities you seek in enrichment, research, innovation, and creativity at events designed to offer the most impactful and informative experiences.

If you participate in the Month of Discovery, you will find out how you can enhance your college journey in a research opportunity, passion project, classes, at additional events, through a grant, with a professor, and more! Join us to #DiscoverUConn. 

What is Discovery Quest?

Discovery QuestThis challenge aims to motivate students to discover all UConn has to offer in the fields of research, innovation, and creativity.
