  • Image is of the main human rights brochure cover. Left of the image has a photo of three people outside taking a scientific measurement. The center of the brochure cover has an unshaded circle with the words "Human Rights + You" inside of it. Right of the image has a scientist taking a sample from a test tube. The very bottom of the image has the words, "Human Rights Minor > Major Impact" "UCONN/University of Connecticut" and "Human Rights Institute." There is also the logo of the human rights institute next to the text.
