40 Under 40
I just read “40 Under 40” and it is one of the best pieces I have ever seen published by the University.
It is inspiring. Thanks.

I found the story very heartwarming and inspirational. Lani Fortier’s story flew off the page and hit my heart and soul. The world is fortunate to have people with such character and selflessness. We are all fortunate to have at least one tie to Ms. Fortier: our association with the University of Connecticut and the impact it had on our lives. Thank you for brightening my day, my holiday and introducing me to such a wonderful human being.

Surely narrowing down a list to only 40 from “hundreds of nominations” was a challenge. Nevertheless, you managed to include several lawyers and actors and basketball players, but not even one member of our Armed Forces. If the goal of the project was to highlight the accomplishments of rising leaders in the major career fields you neglected to include the most important one of all.

Editor’s Note: Two members of the group selected were veterans of military service, as noted in their stories.

As a National Guard member recently returned from Iraq, I was very pleased to see the Alumni Association had donated a memorial in honor of our fallen classmates. I am very proud to be an alumnus of UConn and look forward to visiting the memorial in person. Thanks for sharing that news.
