Final exams are done. Campus is quiet. The busy academic year takes a pause to catch its breath before spring, and reflect on the semester just passed. It’s also a time of year for festive decorations, bright lights, fond traditions, and goodwill throughout all of UConn Nation. In these photos, from Storrs, Hartford, Waterbury, and Stamford, UConn shows off not only the beauty of a New England winter, but the community spirit and irrepressible joy that comes with being a Husky.
