Thank you for your interest in submitting footage for a UConn ECE video. We are currently in the process of collecting testimonials of current students and alumni for an updated welcome video and other promotional materials.

Purpose

The purpose of our welcome video is to greet registered students into the UConn Early College Experience community, congratulate them on taking their first college course, and share some of the benefits, policies, and procedures.

We will also be creating promo videos, where we hope to share student and alumni experiences and program endorsement.

What's in it for you

You’ll have the opportunity to offer honest, first-hand experience to the next generation of UConn ECE students. Your voice and likeness may appear on UConn ECE marketing and promotional materials, such as social media, YouTube Video, posters, and other printed materials. Your submission may be used in the UConn ECE Welcome Video and shown to high school students eager to start their college career. You will also receive UConn ECE swag, so you can continue supporting the great opportunity for Connecticut High School Students.
