UConn associate deans meet Mansfield Human Rights Commission to discuss student immigration support
Summary
Associate Deans John and Maureen Armstrong briefed the commission on resources for students — including immigration-related assistance and response planning if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appears on campus — and explored collaboration because many students live in Mansfield while enrolled at UConn.
John Armstrong and Maureen Armstrong, introduced as Associate Deans of Students at the University of Connecticut, described services their offices provide for students and discussed collaboration with Mansfield officials.
The deans outlined supports for students facing immigration or safety concerns, described protocols the university follows if immigration-enforcement agents come to campus, and noted outreach for students affected by the war abroad. They emphasized that many UConn students reside in Mansfield while enrolled and shared resources and contacts for stronger town–university collaboration.
Commission members and the deans expressed mutual interest in coordinated outreach, particularly because students are also community residents. The exchange was framed as a planning conversation; no formal agreement or vote was recorded.
The commission asked staff to retain the deans’ contacts and explore follow-up opportunities for collaboration on student-facing programming and outreach.
