The Grant Committee, made up of current UNH parents serving on the UNH Parents Council, are waiting to receive their packet of Grant Proposals from UNH student groups, after the Nov. 9^th submission deadline passed.  A number of student group representatives attended the October Grant Workshops to learn more about the grant criteria and review previous successful grant proposals.  Students from the UNH Fencing Club, Campus Activities Board, Outdoor Adventures, Lunabotics, Project Eden, Waysmeet Student Assoc., Women's Rowing and Tae Kwon Do attended the 2 workshops and were able to ask questions about the program.

Last year's awards from the Parents Association's Grant Committee included seed money for the Trash to Treasure Recycling Program, new equipment for the UNH Wildcat Marching Band Colorguard, matching funds for UNH Film Underground group, UNH Ice Cats Send Off Show support, a pitcher's mound for the UNH Baseball Club, and windscreens for the UNH Tennis Courts, requested by the UNH Club Tennis Team.  Some of these awards you've already most likely seen this year during move-in day, Family Weekend or Home Coming.

Did you miss this?

The New England Fall Astronomy Festival (NEFAF) was held at UNH for the first time on Oct. 14 th & 15^th.  It was a free, student & family-friendly event filled with telescopes for sky-watching, talks by amateur astronomers and professional scientists; it even featured NASA astronaut and UNH Alum Lee Morin.  NEFAF was hosted by the UNH Physics Dept. and the Observatory in conjunction with the New Hampshire Astronomical Society and amateur astronomers from Maine to New York. This is just one of the many out of the classroom experiences that UNH students could take advantage of here on the UNH campus.
