FAQ

Q: Is it easy to get involved?

It's hard to not get involved on campus! The Student Activities Fair is held at the beginning of each academic year where students can sign up to join everything from Habitat for Humanity and Wig and Candle to tour guiding and the Ultimate team.

To give you a sense of variety, we have everything from the a cappella singing groups to Sprout!, the organic garden group. Student government, the office of Community Partnerships (which serves the greater New London area) and the other 100+ groups are always looking for people to get involved. Have a look at the Student Clubs and Organizations section to get an idea.

Q: If I want to play competitive sports, what are my options?

About 75 percent of our students are involved in competitive sports, taking part in either intramural, club or varsity athletics.

Favorite activity or place in Southeastern Connecticut: As a history enthusiast, I recommend checking out some of the historical spots in greater New London. The school house of Connecticut’s state hero, Nathan Hale, is in downtown New London. Fort Griswold, just across the Thames River from campus, was used by the patriots during the American Revolution.

Research, internships, and your academic experience will come together to help you formulate a plan for your future, along with excellent advising, of course.

Museums On Campus

The Experience: Daniella Maney ’20

I recently completed an art history ConnCourse called Mona Lisa to Instagram, taught by Professor Karen Gonzalez-Rice, which focused on historical artists such as Leonardo da Vinci to contemporary artists like Kara Walker. In the final weeks of class, we studied Impressionism and Postimpressionism, and instead of viewing the examples on a projector, which can alter the coloration and size of art, Professor Gonzalez-Rice took us to view The Lyman Allyn Art Museum’s permanent collection of 18th through 20th century art.

Guest Blogger Anne Holly ’17

Editor’s Note: Anne Holly ’17 of York, Pennsylvania, graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in economics and a minors in mathematics. She was a captain of the Connecticut College women’s squash team, which is ranked No. 28 in the country. At Conn, she was also a member of the Peggotty Investment Club, Outdoors Club, Tennis Club, and is Green Dot-trained. She thinks Conn has a great mascot and loves being a Camel. She was a guest blogger for The Experience this spring.

The Experience: Saadya Chevan '19

One Thursday morning this semester, the stars finally aligned for us to hold a sectional rehearsal for the orchestra’s clarinetists. No other wind instruments and definitely no strings present! It was just Scott, the other clarinetist, our professor, Kelli O’Connor, and me running through orchestral music together. One of the pieces we played in orchestra this semester is the impressionist composer Maurice Ravel’s “Mother Goose Suite.” As is typical of his works, it features complex, mystifying and beautiful harmonies. Part of our job in a sectional is to learn to get these harmonies in tune, which helps the orchestra sound better.
