Board of Trustees Chair Andy Lietz, Chancellor Stephen Reno and Trustee Ed Dupont, who will chair the UNH presidential search committee, will host a day-long series of meetings or "listening sessions" Thursday, June 1, in Durham and in Manchester with groups from the UNH community. Following the meetings, the chancellor and Board of Trustees will develop a "Challenge Document" that characterizes the university in a manner that is consistent with the Academic Plan and sets out the major challenges and opportunities that will face the campus and its new president. This public document will accompany the more traditional position announcement and job description materials that will be used in the search.
The sessions will be held in the Great Bay Room of the New England Center.
If the evening session is not convenient for faculty and staff at UNH-Manchester, they are free to attend any of the sessions in Durham during the day.

| 8-9 a.m. | President’s Extended Cabinet and Deans |
