Home | Enrichment Programs

The Enrichment Programs are offices that provide enhancing experiences for UConn students, encouraging them to elevate their studies. The Honors Program is unique in that it requires an invitation, determined by a holistic review of every UConn candidate.

The remaining Enrichment Programs are open to all students at all campuses. Our Directors work with undergraduates to navigate competitive scholarship and fellowship competitions, offer guidance on research, and mentorship for professional degrees. There are also opportunities for students to craft their own plans of study through individualized studies or the highly selective University Scholar Program.

We encourage you to explore all that Enrichment Programs can offer, and invite you to be our partner in helping students reach their goals.

Why the impeachment clause is a failure (Sanford Levinson, University of Texas Law School)

Tuesday, October 15th, 2019

04:00 PM - 05:30 PM

Storrs Campus
Monteith 104

As the U.S. House of Representatives discusses impeachment proceedings for President Trump, the question becomes whether there should be other ways for the Congress to potentially remove a president. Renowned legal scholar Sanford Levinson (University of Texas Law School) will give a public lecture to discuss his critique of the impeachment clause of the constitution and alternative legal frameworks that could provide ways to prevent presidential overreach.

Professor Levison (https://law.utexas.edu/faculty/sanford-v-levinson) is the author of multiple books on constitutional history and is a frequent media commentator on the questions of constitutional interpretation and presidential oversight.

This event is sponsored by the Alan R. Bennett Honors Professorship and by UConn's Early College Experience.

This is an Honors Event. Categories: Academic & Interdisciplinary Engagement.
