In addition to becoming familiar with all of the excellent campus resources available to UNH students, there will be FREE FOOD and FREE LODGING the night of the 15th (if needed)!  We will provide FREE breakfast, lunch, and a cook-out at the end of the first day, as well as breakfast and lunch on the second day.
