The Commencement Speaker Wore Prada
@JLaPuma wore Prada shoes in @UConn colors as he spoke at commencement about the importance of his @UConnJournalism degree. The Class of 2005 alum told grads to follow their dreams - "Pay attention to something that sparks something in you."

Between now and Election Day, Connecticut voters can expect an 'avalanche of disinformation' intended to confuse and exhaust them into not voting. There are, according to @amandajcrawford, real-world, local repercussions to the spread of disinformation.
