OASIS

Storrs Veterans Oasis – located in the Student Union Rm. 224

Created in 2012, the Veterans Oasis in the Student Union serves as the primary social lounge for our veteran population looking for a space on campus to relax in-between classes.  Featuring cable TV, public access computers, a Keurig, and ample seating the Oasis will remain the prime gathering place of student veterans at UConn.  Originally conceived by a group of women’s clubs that have funded and created these spaces at colleges across the state. the Veterans Oasis here at Storrs has been designed to offer a haven for veterans and service members who are looking for an area to unwind among people with similar experiences.
