UNH Today

Connecting Wildcat Families

The weather was perfect. Spirits were high. During Family Weekend Sept. 27-28, we had our Parents Council table set up at the Hamel Rec Center, which gave us a chance to greet visiting families and distribute flyers about who we are and what we do. We talked about the Student Enrichment grants we award to student groups and individual students. We also offered coffee and doughnuts along with UNH pens and our ever-so-popular “UNH DAD” and “UNH MOM” pins.

Making Trails His Trade

Ben Allen ’19 has his mother’s concern for his whereabouts to thank for his initial introduction to skiing.

After graduating last spring with a degree in sports studies, Allen is now taking the first steps toward making sure the sport – and outdoor recreation more broadly – are a part of his professional path.

Before Pratik Aghor came to UNH to get his Ph.D. he already knew of associate professor John Gibson's work in applied mathematics. In fact, Gibson is pretty much why he came here. And while it’s not unusual for a professor’s reputation to be a draw to students, Aghor was reading about Gibson from halfway around the world.
