May 17 is the date when the UConn women's basketball team will receive congratulations from President Barack H. Obama for winning the 2009-10 national title with a ceremony at the White House.

The timing of the celebration will allow UConn's two WNBA rookies Tina Charles of the Connecticut Sun and Kalana Greene of the New York Liberty to be there with the rest of the Huskies since there are no WNBA games on May 17.
