In 2010, the United States Census, which occurs every 10 years, will define who we are as a nation. The census affects political representation and directs the allocation of billions of dollars in government funding, affecting every state and every community in the nation.

As 2010 Census partners, the universities of the Connecticut State University System are committed to conveying to students - an historically difficult population to count - the importance of participating in the census and ensuring that no one is left uncounted.

According to U.S. regulations, people are counted where they live and sleep most of the year, so if you live at school — on or off campus — that is where you will receive your census questionnaire, and is the address you should use when filling out the questionnaire.

Complete Count Committees

Achieving a complete and accurate 2010 Census of our universities is underway. Each of the universities is appointing Complete Count Committees, which will include students, faculty and staff, to coordinate efforts with representatives of the U.S. Census and coordinate with local and state officials.
