When we posted our casting call announcement a few weeks ago we never expected to see so many talented and dynamic employees on audition day last Friday.

Seventy-five people from all corners of the campus showed up – from nurses in the NICU to IT specialists from Munson. They each had their portrait taken and then “performed” in a short video where they told us what they do and why they like doing it – especially at UConn Health. The heart-felt answers were truly inspiring and the energy and enthusiasm contagious.

Some of these truly talented folks will be chosen as extras for a television commercial being filmed on campus March 9, 10 and 11. Others will be seen on our website, flyers, brochures and promotional/educational videos we produce throughout the year. Thanks again to all those who took time from their busy day to take part. For those who couldn’t make it – we’ll catch you next time!
