Forgot your phone charging cable? The UConn Stamford Campus now hosts a KwikBoost mobile device charging station which charges both Android, Apple cellphones (and other portable devices). This new charging station is located on the concourse just past the UConn Co-op/Bookstore.

The Jeremy Richard Library also has a KwiKBoost charging station located on the first floor of the learning commons.
