Outreach
The University makes its expertise and its experts available to serve the public good through our research and teaching programs and interdisciplinary institutes.
Over the last three years, the Office of the Vice President for Research and Public Service under the leadership of Drs. Julie E. Williams, Associate V.P and Cameron Wake, faculty fellow, have developed a collaborative partnership with Elizabeth City State University (a historically Black university) capitalizing on mutual strengths in "remote sensing" and "earth system science" and locations near the New Hampshire and North Carolina coastal regions. This partnership has submitted a series of grants to NSF and NASA, participated in joint NASA cyberconferences, and involves a number of faculty from several disciplines at UNH & ECSU. These types of collaborative efforts are continuing to be developed.
The Black New England Conference is a 2-day conference that gathers scholars, teachers, researchers, community members and members of local organizations to share their work and insights on the Black experience past and present in New England. It is both an academic conference and a celebration of Black life and history in New England.
The Black Heritage Partnership - created in 2004 to facilitate greater interaction of the campus community with the African American community beyond the campus. Several of the projects started under this initiative will continue through the Diversity Initiatives office. Two projects that are currently in the works are 1) the creation of a curriculum guide for K-12 public school teachers to use in teaching local Black history and 2) the creation of a statewide Black Heritage Trail.
