Charles Wilson, a Ph.D. candidate in chemistry, has received a prestigious graduate research award from the U.S. Department of Energy. The funding will support his research at the DOE's Brookhaven National Lab.

Elizabeth Chilton, who will become the 21st president of the University of New Hampshire beginning July 1, was a first-generation college student before that designation became so ingrained in the public lexicon.

“I didn’t hear the term ‘first-gen’ until I was a department chair and full professor,” Chilton says. “When I heard the term, a giant light bulb went on over my head and I thought, ‘Oh, I’m a first-generation college graduate.’”

With a one-way ticket in hand, 18-year-old Kash Kapadia ‘99 boarded a plane in Mumbai (Bombay), India enroute to live out his dream of attending college in the U.S. at the University of New Hampshire. When he first walked into Kingsbury Hall, he never imagined he’d one day be honored as one of its most successful alumni.

For the second year in a row, a UNH team won first place in the Department of Energy's Marine Energy Collegiate Competition.

With the shift from traditional to digital advertising, little research has explored how advertising in these different channels creates long-term value for companies.   

An obstacle for researchers is that firms' advertising disclosures are optional and currently limited. New research from the University of New Hampshire that uses novel media advertising data is starting to shed light on the topic.   

Elizabeth Gray, state director of UNH’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and Kristina Drociak ’08 were among the eight recipients of the 2024 Outstanding Women in Business awards from the NH Business Review this spring.

Amy Michael, assistant professor of anthropology and director of UNH’s Forensic Anthropology Identification and Recovery Lab, and true crime podcaster Laurah Norton (“The Fall Line”) have been joining forces to work on cold cases since 2018. Their latest collaboration is Norton’s first book, “Lay Them to Rest: On the Road with the Cold Case Investigators Who Identify the Nameless” (Hachette).

UNH researchers who have been working to better understand what is causing a respiratory illness in dogs since making a significant discovery in relation to the mysterious infection last fall will receive a boost thanks to a grant from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation (CHF).

Last November, researchers at UNH’s New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (NHVDL) and Hubbard Center for Genome Studies (HCGS) made a critical advance in connection to the illness, which has affected thousands of dogs and perplexed veterinarians throughout the country.

The University of New Hampshire celebrated a lively and joyful commencement weekend with seven ceremonies on the Durham campus (and one at UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law) over three days May 17-19. It was a particularly memorable weekend for the graduates, as many of them did not have traditional graduation ceremonies as high school seniors due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

UNH researchers study cactus mice adaptations to arid conditions, uncovering strategies to help animals and humans survive in a rapidly warming, drought-prone climate.
