The money will be used to initiate and underwrite the AT&T/UConn Children's Cancer Program Research Fund, a unit of the UConn Children's Cancer Fund.

"AT&T's donation to our cancer program underscores the Health Center's role in developing new knowledge," said Leslie Cutler, chancellor for health affairs. "This contribution will have a direct impact on cancer research, undertaken right here in Connecticut, to benefit not only Connecticut children, but children everywhere."

Construction leads to change in journals room
The Current Journals Room in the Homer Babbidge Library has been closed for the summer while the exterior of the south plaza, directly overhead, is reconstructed. All unbound journals and current newspapers are now shelved on Level 3.

Journals: Current issues are shelved with the bound volumes for the title.

Newspapers: Newspapers are housed in the Level 3 lobby.

Desk copies: Titles usually held behind the Current Journals Room service desk are shelved in the open journal or newspaper collection, with three exceptions: Nature, Science and Scientific American are available at the Culpeper Library Desk on Level 3.
