Family Sciences Undergraduate Council (FSUC)

FSUC

The Family Sciences Undergraduate Council is a student organization at UConn for any students majoring, minoring or interested in the HDFS field of study at the Storrs or any regional campus. Our goal as an organization is to create a sense of community within the field of HDFS by providing students with opportunities to attend events related to their major, network with fellow students and learn more about their major as a whole.

FSUC Officers – Meet our 2023-2024 e-Board!

Grace Goldberg: President

Grace Goldberg- FSUC President 2023I'm Grace, I'm a senior HDFS major and WGSS minor. I joined FSUC during my sophomore year because I wanted to meet more people in the program, and now I'm excited to pay it forward and help other social science majors learn about opportunities both within UConn and outside of it! I'm currently working on a research study with Dr. Alaina Brenick at UConn Hartford about transphobic discrimination in high schools. After graduation, I'd like to become a marriage and family therapist.

Helena Moran: Vice President

Helena Moran-FSUC Vice President 2023

 

My name is Helena Moran and I am the VP for the Family Sciences Undergraduate Council. I’m a senior with a major in HDFS and a minor in crime and justice. I’m interested in attending law school or grad school, but I haven’t decided just yet. I hope to work for a non profit, either as a case worker or in the legal or policy sphere. I enjoy taking care of plants, reading, playing video games and hanging out with my friends around campus. I also run our social media — so feel free to follow and reach out to @uconnfsuc on Instagram!

I am interested in attending graduate school after UConn to earn my Marriage and Family Therapy License. In my free time I love to listen to music, speak Italian, go to the beach, and go fishing. I am super thrilled to be a part of this group here at UConn!

Izzy Thoennes: Secretary

Hi my name is Isabella, but everyone calls me Izzy and I am the secretary of the Family Sciences Undergraduate Council at UConn. I’m an HDFS major with a WGSS minor. After undergrad I hope to go to grad school and then get licensed in a sect of therapy eventually!
