Departments across campus came together to provide this engaging content.
This event is made possible by the amazing volunteers of the First-Gen Celebration Planning Committee offering their time, expertise, and creative ideas, and the financial support of the McDonough Family Program Fund.
The First-Generation College Celebration is a wonderful opportunity to hear from first-gen UNH students. This year, Mauricio Fridlund and Khushi Patel shared their experiences and insights to success at UNH. Here's a group of students with President Chilton and Senator Maggie Hassan!
