Sundae Name: Husky Harmony Heath Bar

Ingredients: Toasted Almond Amaretto with Caramel sauce and Heath Bar

Explanation of Name: The following Oxford English Dictionary definitions of Harmony, to me, perfectly describe the qualities of both a Husky who has achieved an ideal sense of well-being, and the greater interconnectedness of Huskies here at UConn:

1. Combination or adaptation of parts, elements, or related things, so as to form a consistent and orderly whole; agreement, accord, congruity. i.e. the connectedness of UConn's campuses to create one united UConn.
2. in harmony: in agreement or accordance, consistent, congruous. i.e. all parts of the whole moving in tandem towards progress
3. Agreement of feeling or sentiment; peaceableness, concord. i.e. internal and external tranquility
4. Combination of parts or details in accord with each other, so as to produce an aesthetically pleasing effect; agreeable aspect arising from apt arrangement of parts. i.e. thoughtfully combining complementary components of something, such as in the Circle of Care, which amplify each other to achieve agreeable outcomes
