  • Got Something to Say? Join the Speakers Bureau

    The UNH Speakers Bureau is an outreach service made possible by volunteer faculty and staff members who teach, conduct research, study and work at UNH. Through speaking engagements arranged with nonprofits, schools, municipalities, and civic groups throughout the state, these volunteers are able to extend their expertise to thousands of NH citizens each year.

    The Speakers Bureau database currently exceeds 200 active speakers with presentations covering hundreds of topics. As we update our database for the 2014-2015 academic year, please consider volunteering your time and becoming a member of this popular outreach program.

  • Institutional Review Board Weekly Sessions Held Wednesdays

    The UNH Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research (IRB) is piloting weekly “Ask the IRB” sessions during the fall 2013 semester.  One or more IRB members will host the sessions Wednesdays, 12:30-1:30 p.m. in Dimond Library Room 352 (there will be no session on Nov. 27).
