Are you a student with a question about navigating life at UConn, finding your place in the human rights field, professional development, or life after graduation?
HRI has launched a monthly Ask an Alum advice column, where each month, a panel of HRI alumni will answer questions submitted by current HRI students. No question is too big or too small. Ask about making the most of your time at UConn, choosing classes or opportunities, getting involved on campus, figuring out what you want to do after graduation, navigating possible professional opportunities, or anything else you’d like advice on from someone who’s been in your shoes.
