The University of Connecticut’s Leadership Legacy Experience is pleased to host Adam Alter, for a lecture on behavioral addiction and how we direct, reclaim, and command attention in an era of irresistible products and experiences.

Adam Alter is the New York Times bestselling author of two books and an Associate Professor of Marketing and Psychology at New York University's Stern School of Business. Alter’s most recent book, IRRESISTIBLE, examines why fifty percent of the population is addicted to at least one tech-driven behavior, like checking email and social media, playing video games, and gambling.

Assistant Professor Shardé Davis and colleagues coordinate new anti-black racism course at UConn

UConn Today - Sept. 4, 2020

In the months since Breonna Taylor and George Floyd were killed by police last spring, public outrage over anti-Black racism has inspired widespread protests, conversations and calls for reform. It is a movement with origins both recent and centuries old, and continues to spark in protest, as in the recent case of Jacob Blake, a black man shot by police in Kenosha, Wis. For students at the University of Connecticut, a new course will introduce them to the foundational history of systemic and anti-Black racism in the U.S. that underlies the current movement. Read more about the new course on anti-black racism >

Note: This course is now available to all students, staff, and faculty.
