Orientation 2010

New Huskies are arriving! Well, not completely moving in yet, but they are coming to the Storrs campus from now until July for orientation. Do you remember your orientation days?

Dry

The Dry Student Association, part of the Anti-Saloon League, painted a very colorful rock last week!

Happy Birthday, Ally!

Ally has great friends! What a creative way to send birthday wishes to someone. Beats getting a card!

Polish Pride

The Polish Cultural Society painted a pretty red and white Rock in the style of the Polish flag!

On April 13, the group held a candlelight vigil in memory of Poland's President Lech Kaczynski and many other senior Polish government and military officials who died in an airplane crash near Smolensk.

UConn vs. 'Cuse blood drive

From April 12 to April 19, UConn and Syrcause held competing blood drives. I wonder who won?

Greek Independence

Not only do you - my loyal Rock Watcher followers - get the latest rock painting, but you also get a history lesson! Today is a national day for Greece. March 25th is celebrated as the day that Greece declared independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821.

Hieroglyphics

As I was walking by the Rock on this sunny afternoon, I thought I spotted hieroglyphics painted on it. And I was right! Lambda Alpha, the national honors society for Anthropology, decorated the rock with fun handprints and other markings!

True Colors

For the 3rd year in a row, the Rainbow Center is hosting the True Colors conference at UConn. The conference turns 17 years young... as stated on the Rock!

Shippee Love

I see '06 on there... does that mean some Shippee alums came back to paint the Rock?

Catching Up

I know, I know... it's been a while since I've updated my sightings. Even though I've been absent, I've still been watching! Here are two recent paintings....

Welcoming back the students for the spring semester

Excellent creativity by the Chem students!
