For many alumni, what connects them most closely to UNH isn’t necessarily their graduating class — it’s a shared experience in a residence hall, student group, major, athletics or fraternity and sorority life.

This institution, with its natural beauty, talented faculty and staff, amazing students and inspiring alumni, has provided me with an excellent education and also given me lifelong friends and wonderful business colleagues. These are some of the reasons I’m serving on the 25th reunion committee.
