Sam Weston Sociology

Weston is an ecology and evolutionary biology major from Mansfield, Connecticut. As a former student at EO Smith High School, he came to UConn with a familiarity of campus and the surrounding area, which made the transition process less daunting for him.

He is not very social with his classmates, so the social climate could also be a problem for him. We are presently trying to figure this out and work to accommodate him so he can get the most out of this
