DURHAM, N.H. -- University of New Hampshire President Joan Leitzel will host her third tour of the state for new UNH faculty and administrators May 25 through May 27.

"Destination New Hampshire: UNH New Faculty Tour" participants include David Hiley, provost and vice president for academic affairs; Marty Scarano, UNH's new athletic director; Art Greenberg, new dean of engineering and physical sciences and more than 35 new UNH faculty members and administrators. Tour guide is USNH Trustee and N.H. Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Taylor.

"The university, especially its faculty, serves the state in so many ways through research and public service that President Leitzel believes it's important to show new faculty the impact UNH has on the state," according to Connie Ellis, director of Public Programs and Events and organizer of the three-day trip.

Stops include a tour of Pease International Tradeport and a presentation by UNH civil engineer Nancy Kinner on her bedrock bioremediation research at the former Air Force base. In Manchester, faculty and administrators will visit the Beech Street School and the work that UNH Professor Cathy Reischl does with student interns from the education department.

Other site visits on Thursday, May 25, are the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium and the Department of Health and Human Services in Concord; and Home Again, an assisted-living facility in Northfield. The group spends the night at the Landmark Inn in Laconia following a dinner cruise on the M/V Doris E. on Lake Winnipesaukee.

On Saturday, May 27, the tour will continue to Littleton to visit USNH Trustee Ned Densmore at his Village Bookstore before heading home to Durham.
