UConn is a Research 1 (R1) University, and any student can engage with research by expanding their horizons and searching outside their expectations for an amazing transformative research experience. Join us for this panel where we will discuss how researchers across campus are looking critically at the relationship between human rights and environmental issues. This student-moderated panel will include the option for breakout discussion with researchers.
