STORRS, Conn. – UConn Athletics is excited to welcome back all former women student-athletes to campus on October 14-16, 2022, for a one-of-a-kind weekend celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX and commemorating the strong legacy of UConn Women's Athletics since its inception in 1974.
With almost five full decades of UConn women student-athletes invited back to Storrs, the weekend will consist of various programming, community building, and storytelling across all sports. Over the course of three days, alumni will be able to attend numerous home contests to cheer on the Huskies as well as time to connect with former teammates, coaches, and current players. The pinnacle of weekend celebrations will be at the marquis reception on Saturday evening.
With plans to bring back many former women's student-athletes to campus, themes of the weekend will include:
- Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX
- Honoring the legacy of former UConn women's athletics figures
- Connecting with alumni and student-athletes from all sports
- Recognizing the championship culture of women's athletics at UConn
Women's programs at UConn have accounted for 16 national championships and 52 conference tournament championships, while producing dozens of All-Americans – all of which have contributed to the overall growth of the UConn brand and laid the groundwork for future success in women's athletics.
