The University prides itself as being a Top-10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton Review). The Whittemore School of Business and Economics was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans.

UNH is one of the leading research schools on the East coast. A land-, sea- and space grant university, our University engages under graduates in the intellectual excitement of research.

The Wildcat sculpture, commissioned by the UNH alumni association, was created by Matthew Grey Palmer and is displayed on Main Street in front of the Whittemore Center and Memorial Field.

Students who choose UNH often do so because of the seemingly endless options offered through an acces-sible system of schools and colleges. UNH offers liter-ally thousands of courses in more than 100 majors.

Nestled in New Hampshire’s seacoast region, the UNH campus offers a pleasing mix of classic and modern buldings and college greens that gradually gives way to 2,600 acres of woods, fields, and farms.

The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 14,000 and a graduate population of 3,000 in addition to 600 full-time faculty members, 92% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The university has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space, while still maintaining the look and feel of a New england liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 84% of its classes having 50 students or less.

As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers, and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with dartmouth College before moving to durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923.

The University hosts nearly 550 international students from more than 40 countries and boasts a population of students from 49 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of engineering and Physical sciences, school of Health and Human services, College of Life sciences and Agricultures, Whittemore school of Business and eco-nomics, and the Thompson school of Applied science. And at the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General education Program. The GeP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society, and the world. The University prides itself as being a top 10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton review) and is among the top 30 universities nationally in science research funding from NAsA. UNH is home to the NAsA-recognized space science Center; the institute for study for earth, Oceans and space; and the institute of Marine science and engineering. the

english program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. in addition, the Whittemore school of Business and economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans. UNH also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law school at Harvard and Cornell, engineering at stanford, and Medical school at dartmouth, John Hopkins, and Harvard.

in the last few years, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. in september of 2001, the University completed a new $2.15 million track and field facility. The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, a strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated on July 8, 2003. UNH athletics has also added three outdoor artificial fields, Memorial Field, Bremner Field and Cowell stadium. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, a new sound system, scoreboard and a brand new bleacher system in the summer of 2007. Most recently, UNH completed a renovation of the Paul sweet Oval indoor track complete with a new state-of-the-art surface, improved lighting and an overall facelift. in addition to the incredible improvements of its athletic facilities, the University has upgraded and renovated a large part of its academic campus as well. Most recently, Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University also completed a $52 million renovation of Kinsbury Hall, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of engineering and Physical sciences, as well as a $4.5 revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the school of Health and Human services. in addition, the new 120,000 square foot Biological sciences Building, rudman Hall and the spaulding Life sciences renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a new science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. This revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. The University has also completed construction of the new dining facility on Main street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the dimond Library. in November of 1995, construction of the $27 million recreation and sport Complex reached completion. The new Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convo-

cations, as well as a new three-level recreational sports facility within the structure which had housed the old snively Arena. Combining the atmosphere of a small New england liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and apprecia-tion of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

Rob ThompsonHead CoaCH • 19tH SeaSon • Maine ‘89

Head Coach rob Thompson enters his 19th season with the University of New Hampshire men’s soccer program and his 17th as head coach. during his tenure as head coach of the program, Thompson has posted a 124-119-48 record and has led the team to six America east tournament berths in the last eight seasons, including five straight.

Last season Thompson led the Wildcats all the way to the America east Championship game for the first time since 1994, posting a 9-5-6 record on the season. despite falling 5-4 on penalty kicks to UMBC (Nov. 13) in the title game, the Wildcats held the retrievers scoreless through regulation and both overtime periods, marking the third consecutive team they shut out in the conference tournament, as they also blanked Binghamton (Nov. 6) and Boston University (Nov. 10). The impressive mark made UNH the first team ever to record three shutouts in the conference tournament.

UNH’s hot postseason run steamed from its impressive regular season, wrapping up the year with a 7-5-5 record and a 2-3-2 mark in conference play. despite dropping their last two games of the season, the Wildcats were unbeaten in five of their six games prior, notching back-to-back wins against Boston University (Oct. 23) and Albany (Oct. 27). As a result of their stellar play, six Wildcats received America east All-Conference honors, including Goalkeeper of the Year and the Jim Urquhart student-Athlete of the Year award.

Off the field Thompson’s student-athletes have had mirrored success, receiving the National soccer Coaches Association of America team Aca-demic Award for the fourth consecutive year. UNH was one of just three America east men’s teams to be recognized, finishing with the highest grade point average among all the squads with a mark of 3.17.

individually, three Wildcats received National soccer Coaches Association of America (NsCAA) scholar honors and Colin O’donnell was tabbed an NsCAA Men’s College scholar All-American, becoming the first Wildcat to received All-American status since 2005. O’donnell also took home the America east scholar-athlete award for the second consecutive season, demonstrating continued excellence both on the field and in the classroom. Joe Corsello was just as successful, posting the best grade point average among all UNH student-athletes for the 2010-11 academic year.

in 2009 Thompson guided the Wildcats to one of their best seasons to date, posting a 9-7-2 record and clinched the No. 1 seed in the America east tournament. Additionally, the ‘Cats earned their first regular-sea-son title since 1994 and their first outright title ever.

The Wildcats wrapped up their America east regular season with a 2-1 win over Binghamton University on Oct. 28. The win extended UNH’s regular-season unbeaten streak to seven games (6-0-1), as they finished the conference schedule undefeated. Moreover, it was the first time since 1997 that a team completed the conference schedule without a loss and is UNH’s best conference record since also compiling a 6-0-1 mark in 1994.

Thompson and his staff took home Coaching staff of the Year honors, while seven Wildcats received postseason accolades, including defender of the Year and Goalkeeper of the Year. Three ‘Cats were named to the All-Conference First team and the All-rookie team, while one was selected to the All-Conference second team.

The Wildcats got off to a fast start in 2008 as they posted a 5-0-2 record to open up the season, with wins over Memphis and Massachusetts. The Wildcats kept pace the rest of the season finishing 7-7-4, including a 2-4-2 mark in the America east play. UNH clinched the final playoff spot in the America east tournament as they defeated UMBC in dramatic fashion, 3-2, Oct. 29.

in 2007 the Wildcats made a late push for a postseason berth as they pieced together a 4-1-7 record down the stretch to clinch a spot in the America east tournament. New Hampshire would make the most of the opportunity as they defeated Boston University, 4-2, on penalty kicks after finishing regulation with a 0-0 tie to advance to the semifinal round of the tournament.

in 2006 Thompson led the Wildcats to a record of 12-5-3, its best mark since 1994. The squad advanced to the semifinals of the conference tourna-ment, with Thompson and his staff earning Coaching staff of the Year honors by America east.

His 2003 squad was ranked as high as No. 2 in the region, and the 2002 Wildcats spent the entire regular season ranked in New england.

Prior to arriving at UNH, Thompson coached extensively in the Washington, d.C., area, and directed club teams to both state and regional titles. A Virginia native, Thompson spent three years coaching and teaching at south Lakes High school in reston, Va., and three years coaching in the Virginia Olympic development Program.

This past season, the Wildcats ranked 76th out of more than 370 division i schools with 242.50 points, which was the best in America east. The Wildcats finished third behind only Connecticut (44) and Boston College (64) in the New england region. scarano’s many accomplishments have played a key role in UNH being named one of the top 20 Athletic departments in the Country in U.s.

UNH’s graduation rate for athletes has maintained levels at or exceeding 90 percent, which puts it among the nation’s best in division i. scarano has focused on moving UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. to accomplish that goal, the Univer-sity has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA championships. The Wildcat athletic department has played host to highly successful NCAA Men’s ice Hockey Northeast regionals at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) in 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2011. UNH has had the opportunity to host two NCAA Women’s ice Hockey Frozen Fours in the Whittemore Center in 2002 and 2005. in addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast regional at the Whittemore Center Arena.

UNH football has qualified for the NCAA FCs postseason for a nation-leading seven straight seasons and has advanced to the quarterfinals six times in that span. The Wildcat women’s hockey team won the Hockey east tournament Championship four straight seasons from 2006-09, which also included

Mark W. Huddleston became the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bringing three decades of experi-ence in public and private education as a faculty member, dean, and senior administrator.Huddleston has been a strong advocate for increasing affordability and accessibility in higher education, and has argued that we need to rethink much of what we do to protect our core missions, and to ensure that higher education remains vital and financially sustainable in the 21st century.

in February 2010, he presented a 10-year strategic plan for UNH, the result of an intensive collaboration between faculty, students, staff, alumni, and the University’s wider communities. emphasizing innovation and entrepreneurship, the plan is helping to guide the University’s response to a historic state budget cut passed by the 2011 New Hampshire Legislature.

“The strategic plan commits us to finding new ways to teach, learn, discover, create, and engage in the 21st century—and positions UNH to become a national leader in the redefinition of American higher education,” Huddleston says.

Huddleston was raised in syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family ever to attend college. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the state University of New York-Buffalo, and both a master’s degree and Ph.d. in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He began his academic career at sUNY-Buffalo in 1977 as an assistant professor of po-litical science. in 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of delaware, where he served for the next 24 years. There, he chaired the department of Political science and international relations and served as associate provost for international programs. in 2001, he was named dean of the College of Arts and sciences, overseeing 45 academic departments and centers with nearly 900 full-time faculty and staff, and serving in that capacity until he was named president of Ohio Wesleyan University in 2004.

An author of numerous books and articles, he has been a consultant for both the U.s. government and international organizations. He also served as an adviser in Bosnia on rebuilding financial and administrative infrastructures after the dayton accords.Huddleston is chair of the Presidents Council of the America east Conference, an incorporator of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, and a member of the Board of trustees of the speedway Children’s Charities. Huddleston and his wife, emma Bricker, have three children, Andy, Kate, and Giles.

season outlook

�0

The University of New Hampshire men’s soccer team is setting the bar high this season, as the squad looks to build upon another suc-cessful campaign in 2010. The Wildcats wrapped up the season with a 9-5-6 record, recording their second straight nine-win campaign, competing in the America East tournament for the sixth time in the last eight years.

New Hampshire advanced all the way to the conference title game for the first time since 1994, holding the University of Maryland Baltimore County scoreless through regulation and both overtime periods, but eventually fell 5-4 on penalty kicks. Including their outing against the Retrievers, the Wildcats posted three consecutive shutouts in the conference tournament, as they also blanked Binghamton (Nov. 6) and Boston University (Nov. 10). The impressive mark made UNH the first team ever to record three shutouts in the conference tournament.

As a result of their impressive season, six Wildcats received America East All-Conference honors, including Goalkeeper of the Year honors. In total, four ‘Cats were named to the All-Academic Team, two were selected to the All-Rookie Team, and UNH was also represented on both the All-Conference First- and Second-Team.

Despite losing a talented and productive senior class, Thompson returns 16 letterwinners to go along with 12 skilled newcomers, providing depth and a plethora of talent heading into 2011.

Sophomore Steven Palumbo (Kingston, N.H.) will provide steady offen-sive production upfield after coming off a stellar freshman campaign. He was instrumental in UNH’s playoff run, finishing the season with a team-best eight points on three goals and two assists, earning America East All-Rookie Team honors. During his rookie campaign he was ranked 64th in the country among college freshmen by TopDrawerSoccer.com, tallying game-winning goals against Central Connecticut State (Sept. 6), Boston University (Oct. 23), and Albany (Oct. 27). Additionally, he notched an assist in New Hampshire’s win over BU, while also tallying a helper in a 2-1 win over Bryant (Sept. 22).

Junior Charlie Roche (Haverhill, Mass.), who earned America East All-Rookie Team honors in 2009, is another standout who should give the ‘Cats some offensive versatility this season after posting two points playing at both the forward and midfield position last year.

New Hampshire also welcomes in newcomers Paul Bianchi (Essex, Vt.) and David Schlatter (Marlton, N.J.) who should both provide depth and talent offensively. Bianchi will join the Wildcats after leading Essex High School to the 2010 Vermont Division 1 State Championship last season. The four-year letterman was a four-time All-Metro selec-tion, three-time All-State selection, two-time Burlington Free Press All-Star, and for his contributions to the 2010 state title run he was named an NSCAA All-American. As for Schlatter, he is coming off a senior year in which he led Cherokee High School to the New Jersey Group 4 State Title, scoring the game-winning goal in the championship game. The team captain was named Burlington County Player of the Year, earned All-South Jersey and Olympic Conference First-Team honors, and was also tabbed a Star Ledger All-State Second-Team honoree.

Senior Brad Hilton (Merrimack, N.H.) is once again expected to anchor the midfield and help set the Wildcat offense in motion this season. He earned America East Second-Team honors for the second-straight year after posting a team-best eight points on three goals and two assists. The two-time America East All-Academic selection tallied a pair of game-winning goals in back-to-back efforts against Presbyterian (Sept. 12) and Bryant (Sept. 22). He also tallied a goal in UNH’s 2-1 win over Boston University (Oct. 23), helping hand the Terriers their only regular season loss of the year. Additionally, the midfielder registered an assist in a win against Bryant and in a tie versus Cornell (Sept. 10).

Junior Gustav Nilsson (Pixbo, Sweden) should also see significant playing time after seeing action in 12 games, including five starts

last year. Junior Josh Bronner (Belchertown, Mass.), who earned All-Rookie Team honors in 2009, returns to the Wildcats after miss-ing a sizable portion of the season due to injury and is expected to play a significant role in the midfield. Sophomore Robert Palumbo (Kingston, N.H.) adds immense skill to the position, appearing in 19 games including six starts, ranking third on the team in total points with four.

Junior Byron Greenwood (Portsmouth, N.H.) will look to crack the rotation this season after walking onto the squad last year. Sopho-mores Cody Cormier (Bangor, Maine) and Matthew Weinstein (Anchorage, Alaska) should provide depth at the position as they look to build on their freshmen campaigns.

The Wildcats also welcome Aaron Smith (Loudon, N.H.), Cam-eron Bielski (Dover, Mass.) and Ryan McNamara (West Nyack, N.Y.) into the fold, a trio of capable midfielders who should all factor into the rotation this year.

Smith is fresh off propelling Merrimack Valley High School to the New Hampshire Class 1 Final Four in 2010. A four-year let-terman and senior captain for the Pride, Smith graduated as the high school’s all-time leading scorer, recording 95 career points on 72 goals and 23 assists.

Bielski, who was a four-year starter for Dover-Sherborn High School, led the squad to the 2010 Division 3 Massachusetts State Championship as a senior. Captaining the Raiders during his junior and senior seasons, he posted 17 goals and 22 assists as a senior.

As for McNamara, he joins UNH after a four-year varsity ca-reer at Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey. McNamara recorded 31 goals and 34 assists during his career, propelling the Ironmen to league championships all four years and county championships in 2007 and 2009.

New Hampshire returns a talented group of backs this year af-ter proving to be one of the most formidable defensive units in the America East last season, posting a goals against average of

0.49 and 11 shutouts, both top honors in the conference. Overall the ‘Cats were equally impressive in America East play, ranking second in GAA (0.51) and third in shutouts (3).

Senior Alex Russell (Harisburg, Pa.) will anchor the backfield and should also provide solid production, after appearing in 12 games and making seven starts in 2010.

New Hampshire also returns sophomore Jeffrey Turner (Blandon, Pa.), who last season played in 18 games and made 14 starts on his way to collecting All-Rookie honors.

Aside from Russell and Turner, the ‘Cats return a trio of junior backs that are expected to make a significant impact this year, a list that includes; Alex Hussein (Haverhill, Mass.), Ryan McNabb (Downingtown, Pa.) and Jordan Thomas (Mohnton, Pa.).

Hussein, who earned America East All-Rookie Team honors in 2009, is expected to help anchor the backfield after appearing in 18 games and making 16 starts last season. McNabb made a significant jump last year, earning the Glenn Aborn Award for the team’s most improved player at the team’s end of the year banquet. He stepped into the midfield for the injured Bronner against regional rival UMass (Sept. 25) and never looked back, starting in 13 of the remaining 14 games, while leading the Wildcats with his vocal leadership. Davis should also have an increased role in the Wildcat defense this year, starting his second full season at back after playing at midfield as a freshman.

Thomas will make the transition to the back line and should add significant athleticism to the position after playing the last two seasons up top. Last year he provided steady offensive production, posting three points on one goal and an assist in 18 games.

Sophomore Ugochukwu Uche (Ann Arbor, Mich.) will also look to add depth and talent to the position as he comes off a freshman season that he made 10 appearances including three starts.

The Wildcats also add freshmen Elvis Lumumba (Newfields, N.H.), Clint Caso (Kinnelon, N.J.), and Connor Pauley (Lon-donderry, N.H.) to the mix, as the trio of newcomers all look to contribute and add depth to the Wildcat lineup this season.

Lumumba joins the program after one year at Exeter High School. Prior to attending Exeter, Lumumba was at Essex High School in Essex Junction, Vt. where he was a three-year letter-winner, leading the team to national rankings in 2007 and 2008. Caso led St. Benedict’s Preparatory School to three straight New Jersey State Prep Championships (2008-2010). For his efforts in the Gray Bees’ 2009 and 2010 title runs, Caso was named to the New Jersey All-Prep First-Team both seasons.

The University itself is located just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. Historic Portsmouth Harbor, less than 10 miles from UNH, offers many shopping and fine dining opportunities, while Hampton Beach, to the south, is a popular vacation spot.

Amtrak’s Downeaster, with a station located on campus, is a great way to travel to Boston or Portland. As a passenger, you’ll enjoy overlooking miles of scenic landscape along the way.

Just an hour south of the campus is Boston, the cultural “hub” of New England. There, visitors can enjoy a baseball game at historic Fenway Park, visit Quincy Market or walk the Freedom Trail, which features many of the sites where early American history was made.

The Lakes Region of New Hampshire is located to the north. The crown jewel of the region is Lake Winnipesaukee, which is one of the largest lakes in the Northeast. Countless recreational activities exist on the many lakes in the area.

Less than a two-hour drive north is the White Mountain region of New Hampshire, which offers numerous skiing and hiking op-portunities. Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeast.

Ocean, mountains, sandy beaches and charming port cities are all within a short drive.
