Commitment to Diversity
Diversity is a community value at the University of New Hampshire.
We are committed to supporting and sustaining an educational community that is inclusive, diverse and equitable. The values of diversity, inclusion and equity are inextricably linked to our mission of teaching and research excellence, and we embrace these values as being critical to development, learning, and success. We expect nothing less than an accessible, multicultural community in which civility and respect are fostered, and discrimination and harassment are not tolerated.
We will ensure that under-represented groups and those who experience systemic inequity will have equal opportunities and feel welcome on our campus.
We accept the responsibility of teaching and learning in a diverse democracy where social justice serves as a bridge between a quality liberal education and civic engagement.

 Investing in Diversity at UNH: The Turbulent Years, 1968-1972

A new library web exhibit chronicles the beginnings of conscious inclusion of diversity in the community and curriculum at UNH from 1968-1972.  Included in the exhibit is Mrs. Myrna Adams, UNH’s first black administrator. The virtual extension is an extension of a display created by the Library Exhibit Committee last year.
