Coffee Chats

The OPIM Department in the School of Business offers hands-on technology oriented coffee chats on a variety of topics of interest to the UConn community.

These coffee chats provide an excellent virtual learning opportunity as well as a venue for the exchange of ideas among fellow members of the university and professionals. All coffee chats are 30-60 minutes networking sessions and are held on zoom.
