CONNECT is an early-arrival residential summer program with a focus on incoming first-year students with historically underrepresented backgrounds, including those who are first in their families to attend college. CONNECT participants move in early into on-campus housing, get matched with a trained and experienced peer mentor, explore student resources, and engage in interactive learning, skill building, and social activities.
Program costs, including on-campus housing, meals, and activities, are covered by the University of New Hampshire.

- Move in early and make new friends!

- Build a supportive community of peers, faculty, and staff!
