The UNH Presidential Search Committee has announced that the
next finalist for the position will participate in public meetings on
April 10 and 11 with students, faculty, staff, and members of the UNH
community. Biographical information on the candidate will be released
by the end of the week and will be posted on both the UNH web site at

at www.usnh.edu.
The candidate will spend these two days visiting with the UNH Durham and
UNH Manchester communities and participating in large and small group meetings,
as well as one-on-one meetings. Several of these meetings are open forums
and provide opportunities for the University’s many constituencies
