From Cow to Cone | UConn

Did you know that the milk used to make the Dairy Bar's ice cream comes from the dairy cows right here at UConn? We're celebrating National Cow Appreciation Day this year by honoring the dairy cows who play a critical role in our excellence in research, teaching, and of course, Dairy Bar ice cream!

 Ever watch a viral video and wonder, “How’d they do that?” In the case of a recent viral video of a trumpeter playing into a tube that’s on fire, making the flames dance higher and lower in time to the music, we asked experts at UConn to explain just how the device – called a Rubens’ tube – worked. And they answered. 

 Now that the carving is finished on our new wooden panther statue, here's a high-speed look through the process this week. There are still some finishing touches that need to be made on the work, so stay tuned for next fall when we reveal the final product. 

 Birdwatching is more than a hobby for Maria B. Antony ’19 (CLAS/CAHNR) – it was a lifeline for her during her medical training. 

 The storied Buckley Dining Hall is set to close at the end of this academic year, but not without a heartfelt tribute from School of Fine Arts students who's connection to the dining hall runs deep (and personal). 

 Closed out a historic season with the best fans 🎉
