Kickoff and Community Gatherings

We host Kickoff and Community Gatherings at the beginning of each University of New Hampshire Heritage and Awareness Months. These events serve as intentional opportunities for members of the UNH Community to be in community and celebrate and honor the histories, experiences, and contributions each Heritage and Awareness Month celebrates.  

Each Kickoff and Community Gathering occurs during the first week of the Heritage and Awareness Month and is scheduled from 4:00-5:00pm in the Beauregard Center. The event features remarks from Diversity Support Coalition Student Leaders and university leadership, review of programs and resources, and light refreshments.  

For more information on upcoming Kickoff and Community Gatherings, please visit our Instagram or the Heritage and Awareness Month page on our website.
