The academic plan is about understanding
our strengths as a university and then building on them. These are
just a few examples of how the plan is already in action. The implementation
of the plan is the responsibility of all across the University.
Accomplishing its goals and challenges draws on contributions from
the entire University community. |
Discovery
With courses such as "From Frankenstein
to Dolly," one of our new
first-year inquiry seminars, UNH is changing its definition
of undergraduate education, building on the great strides we’ve
already made with undergraduate
research opportunities, the Honors Program, and international
education. In 2003, UNH officially became a full land-, sea-,
and space-grant institution and a top-tier Sea Grant College,
thanks in large part to the scientists and graduate students
working in the Institute
for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space. Also visit: International

Engagement and Outreach
From first-year students documenting gravesites in a local
community to fostering small business development in the
North Country, UNH is committed to meeting the needs of the
citizens of New Hampshire and beyond. The University is an
ideal partner, as the New Hampshire law enforcement community
discovered
working with UNH on the development of the country’s
first fully integrated, voice-operated police cruiser — Project54.

Resourcefulness
The University makes remarkably efficient
use of its resources — human, natural and financial.
The
UNH
Foundation, established to increase private support for
the University, completed the most ambitious fundraising
effort
in UNH history two years ahead of schedule. Concurrently, the
University partnered with state legislators and local businesses
on KEEP-NH,
a major public and private investment in the state’s
economic future. UNH has leveraged its research prowess to
gain access
to the prestigious Boston
Library Consortium, which gives the UNH community access
to a 24/7 reference service and the resources of some of
the
most well-known research institutions in the world. Also visit:

Effectiveness
The University constantly assesses everything
it does in support of the educational mission: from evaluating
and improving its teaching,
research, and service programs to developing a master
plan to ensure that future academic, residential, and recreational
needs are met while preserving the campus’ distinctive
character and place in the community. Accreditation
is another way the University evaluates its strengths and challenges.
