Welcome!
 

Since September 2009 UCANN has been providing a forum for UConn area newcomers, members, and local people to exchange valuable information and experiences, spend time together, have fun, make friends, find intellectual stimulation, and develop a sense of belonging within the University of Connecticut community. It is facilitated by volunteers.

UCANN is a secular group. Out of respect for the religious and cultural diversity of our members we discourage the promotion of any particular faith or religious belief during our meetings. It may be that discussion of our diverse beliefs arises naturally during conversation, but we strongly discourage any attempts to proselytize.

Because it is a support system and social network, the group is informal and flexible. There is no membership fee.

Please join the UCANN email list to get updates and information. Some activities will happen less frequently than others.

Gerda Walz-Michaels will read from her new book of poems, The Ocean Carries Me on Wednesday April 25th, 2012 at 6pm at the UCONN COOP here on campus.  

Gerda is a UCANN member and her poetry beautifully reflects the experience of moving between countries and cultures and therefore will resonate with many of us. Gerda's gentle and wise philosophy is mirrored in her writing.

Susanne Davis, winner of the Hemingway First Novel Award writes, “Gerda-Walz-Michaels’ powerful poems span history, continents, even the spirit and material worlds. Seeking to understand the human condition her poems share a unique wisdom that is located neither here nor there but always… they touch the heart.” Joan Selger Sidney, author of The Diminishing Body writes, The Ocean Carries Me bravely charts Gerda Walz-Michaels’ journey from ‘the burden of Germany’s Nazi past” to “forgiveness, both given and received.”
