An open letter from President Mark Huddleston and Todd Selig, Durham town administrator

A town-gown relationship is unique, one that requires special care and nourishment. The relationship between UNH and Durham should be like a good marriage — each partner always working to strengthen the relationship, with an eye toward keeping the marriage strong and healthy.
