DURHAM, N.H. - Sustainable investing at the University of New Hampshire will be the focus of a campus conversation Monday, March 4, 2013, from 7 to 9 p.m. in Huddleston Ballroom. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the event is free and open to the public.

Coordinated by UNH's Discovery Program and NH Listens, the conversation on investment and divestment is designed to give the university community an opportunity to become informed and explore issues related to the sustainable investment of the UNH endowment portfolio.

A discussion guide with a variety of background materials on the topic will be available here http://www.unh.edu/discovery/campus-conversation several days before the event. 

The UNH Discovery Program is the core curriculum program for undergraduate students in all majors. For more information, visit www.unh.edu/discovery

NH Listens, the civic engagement initiative of UNH's Carsey Institute, engages citizens in decision making and public problem solving. The group does not take a stand on specific issues but rather works to create and sustain a fair process for public engagement and action.

The University of New Hampshire, founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea, and space-grant university, UNH is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 12,200 undergraduate and 2,300 graduate students.
