Dear Fellow Students,
Last week, the Office of Governor Lamont decided to decrease the University of Connecticut's proposed budget of $211 million dollars, down to $208 million. After cuts of $40 million since FY16, it's vital to our university that we urge our representatives to not decrease our budget.
The Appropriations Committee will be reviewing our budget on February 18th from 5 pm to 7:30 pm at the Capitol Building. USG is providing free transportation to Hartford, leaving at 3:30 pm and coming back to campus at 8:30 pm. Food and refreshments will be provided. Wear your UConn gear in support!
If you cannot make the hearing, I urge you to contact your representatives and explain your UConn story. You can find your legislators by texting UConnProud to +1 (860) 269-0269.
Please attend to support current and future Huskies. I look forward to seeing you there.
Priyanka
