150 Years of Wildcat Pride
WE'VE COME SO FAR TOGETHER. LET'S CELEBRATE.
We are Wildcats. Each of our stories, all of our stories, are UNH’s story. This milestone year is a time to celebrate the education, the opportunities, the enduring friendships and the lifelong passions that are born of a UNH experience. These gifts have inspired generations of Wildcats to push the boundaries of what’s possible and make change in the world.
Join us on campus and at gatherings around the country to celebrate our community and collective achievements, share our stories and begin an inspiring new chapter with CELEBRATE 150: The Campaign for UNH.
Experience the University of New Hampshire right here, right now. Take a guided virtual tour through classrooms, residence halls, facilities and more. Along the way, you’ll learn about degree programs, student experiences, our community and everything else about being a Wildcat. |
