Unless you gave up March Madness for Lent this year, you saw that one school took home
both the men and women's championships. Speaking at the University of Connecticut's
Edmund Fusco Contemporary Issues Forum yesterday, Hillary was delighted

STORRS,
Conn. (WTNH) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew best how
to reach Husky fans at an event on campus Wednesday night: basketball.
“A
seven seed playing in the final four,” she said. “They say that never

“UConn
students participate in a wide range of community service projects and
I’m very proud that a number of you have joined the Clinton global
initiative,” she said.
In her speech she said she wants to open more doors particularly for women, spread access to education, and create jobs.

know it can’t be done without young people in our country deciding,
making a difference,” Clinton said. “Let’s make the millennial
generation the participation generation.”

Ukraine and immigration. But she was never asked about a possible 2016
presidential run – just about what Clinton thinks about the current
bipartisan political climate.
