    This listening session brings the energy, honesty, and resilience of Hip Hop into a space focused on hope, purpose, and personal motivation.
    Just as Hip Hop is rooted in storytelling, hustle, and rising from challenges, this dialogue invites you to reflect on the systems that keep you moving forward.

    Whether your motivation comes from family, dreams, culture, community, or your own inner fire, this session is a chance to share your truth and hear the motivations of others.
    The goal is to uplift, connect, and remind each other of the strength we hold!

    This event is designed to center students in the UConn College of Engineering. All are welcome to attend. 

    Snacks will be provided

The John Lof Leadership Academy

The UConn College of Engineering is proud to announce the establishment of the John Lof Leadership Academy for Graduate Engineering Students. Backed by the generous endowment from John Lof, a former UConn Electrical and Computer Science professor of 35 years, this exclusive Academy will aim to continue the legacy of Dr. Lof, who wished to reward and cultivate a select group of future leaders and engineering trailblazers. The proceeds of the endowment will be used toward the direct support of the student members (in the form of grants and fellowships) as well as the corresponding Academy programs. Applicants are accepted annually for two-year tenures in the academy.
