In lieu of our standard employee profile, the office of Human Resources would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our leader, Candace Corvey, and wish her a fond farewell!

"It has been a privilege for the HR staff to have worked under the Leadership of Candace Corvey. She has been invested in our success, supported key HR initiatives and has paved the way for the HR department to play a more strategic role within the organization." - Sharon Demers, Assistant Vice President, Human Resources.

On December 31st of this year, Candace Corvey will be leaving UNH as the Vice President of Finance and Administration at the University of New Hampshire. In her 9 plus years at UNH she has made many major contributions to our institution, but it is the relationships she developed and the people's lives that she has touched along the way that have made the greatest impact. She will be greatly missed by the staff in her division, by the faculty and staff at UNH and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors!

The following is text from a letter that accompanied Candace Corvey's Wildcat Award presented by her division on October 13th. It clearly represents how we all feel about Candace and her impact at the University of New Hampshire!
