Gillian's UConn and/or UCMB experience:

“The UCMB always made my day better. It gave me an outlet outside of my science courses and gave me so many friends that no other organization would be able to give me. Love y’all TUP!”

Lauren's UConn and/or UCMB experience: The UCMB has been vital to my college experience. After my father sadly passed away my sophomore year, I joined the UCMB and was blessed with so much. The UCMB gave me so much more than the opportunity to return to marching band. It gave me my best friends, and I couldn't be more thankful. From participating in Lipsync, HuskyTHON , and intramural sports to going to Late Night or basketball games or watching the Ellen show, I do these things with my best friends. I have the most amazing friends and support system, and I have the UCMB to thank for that.
