New and Improved MyUConn Mobile App

UITS has launched a revamped version of myUConn, the university’s mobile app and a connection to campus and course information.

The new myUConn app, powered by Kurogo, focuses on enhancing the mobile experience:

  • It works on any size Android and iOS device. You can download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
  • For other types of phones and tablets, you can access the same functionality on the mobile site:  https://my.uconn.edu/
  • Current myUConn HD iPad/Andriod tablet users are encouraged to remove their existing app and download this release of myUConn.

This version of the myUConn app also includes a new maintenance module, which integrates with Facilities Operations’ IT systems. With this new module, you can notify Facilities Operations of maintenance and repair items in dorms and around campus. With intelligent location services included in the module, you can pinpoint the problem, even if you are unsure of the exact site.

More modules as well as improved features are coming. You can learn more at http://mobile.uconn.edu

“Not Just Desserts” Bakery Presents UConn History In Cake

Posted on by

In honor of UConn’s 2014 Convocation, Dining Services’ “Not Just Desserts” Bakery presented a history of UConn on a very large and unusual display cake. Designed as a commemorative history of UConn, Eric Merkle, Bakery Manager, spent hours perusing photos in the UConn digital photo gallery. Approximately 200 photos were printed on edible paper and then individually framed using 300 pounds of molded chocolate: milk, dark and white. During the convocation celebration, Eric adhered the framed photos to the cake, assisted by Sandy Sandberg, Head Pastry Chef and Crystal Russell, Pastry Chef. The Bakery staff also created dozens of sheet cakes which were served, along with famous UConn Dairy Bar ice cream, to more than 3,500 members of the incoming freshman class.
