Update on the UNH Presidential Search

August 30, 2006 - The search process for selecting the next president of UNH continues to move forward. The Search Committee will be holding an open forum on Thursday, September 7th, 2006 – from 10:00 to 12:00 noon in room 1925 of the Elliot Alumni Center. Individuals from the UNH community will be invited to comment on the desired presidential qualifications

We have already received a number of inquiries regarding the position and are pleased with the level of interest at this early stage. We are encouraging interested individuals to submit their applications prior to September 10, but will consider additional applications and nominations after this date and prior to the completion of the Committee’s work to narrow the field. If anyone is interested in making a nomination, they can do so by forwarding nominations and expressions of interest to:
