Dozens of student groups and organizations as well as many campus departments will be represented at the University Picnic. This is a great opportunity for students, new and old to find out what is going on at UNH and to get involved. There will be lots of interactive displays and demonstrations including the UNH Gymnastics Team, and the department of Recreational Sports.

Recognized student organizations and campus departments can register for a table at the fair.

Fun for the kids includes a visit from Wild E. Cat, the UNH mascot, a dunk tank, face painting, bounce house, entertainment by Wayne from Maine and many other interactive displays and activities.
