UNH Today

Research published by the Carsey School and authored by Michael Kurtz, a professor at Lycoming College, and Karen Conway and Robert Mohr, Professors of Economics at UNH's Paul College of Business & Economics, was recently mentioned in the New Hampshire-based Carriage Towne News. Their research found that weekend backpack food programs – that provide easy-to-prepare meals to children to eat outside of school – help economically disadvantaged students and result in increases in math and reading test scores among primary school students.
