A ‘lobster coma’ and a trip down memory lane
Grow up in northern California and spend a semester at UNH on an exchange program where you are introduced to lobster for the first time. Or “lobstah” as you hear it. “Wicked good lobstah.” Learn to be fine with wearing a plastic bib — a necessary yet extremely unfashionable fashion choice.
Fall in love with New England so much so that you transfer to UNH and spend three years doing all the things that New Englanders do: marvel at magenta-colored fall leaves, ice skate on frozen ponds, learn what wind chill factor means, get caught in summer thundershowers that make everything shamrock green. Decide that the Northeast is where you want to stay.

Anya Raetsch ’27
ALREADY AN ACTIVIST
a genuine pair of ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz.” A 91-year-old man decides to
run with the bulls in Pamplona and dies doing it. A flavor scientist comes out of retirement to make one more flavor of Doritos.
If you’re not sure, don’t feel bad: Anya Raetsch ’27 wasn’t sure either — and she’s
used to sussing out quirky facts from fiction each week.
Raetsch was part of a January broadcast of the popular NPR show “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!” an hour-long news radio panel show where panelists and contestants are quizzed on the mostly quirky news of the week. Millions of listeners tune in every week, either to the broadcast or its podcast — among them is regular-listener Raetsch.
Georgi Fischer ’24
Fighting for Climate Justice
“I was basically skiing over patches of grass in the peak of winter, when there should have been lots of snow,” she recalls.
That was 2020, when she wrote a letter to the editor of her local newspaper to vent about it and to share her anger with the state’s refusal to adequately address climate change. Her letter — and her strong voice — caught the attention of Our Children’s Trust, a nonprofit public interest firm based in Oregon.
That’s how Georgi, then 17, became one of the plaintiffs in Held v. Montana, the first constitutional climate lawsuit in U.S. history. The case was filed in March 2020 by Our Children’s Trust on behalf of 16 residents of Montana, then aged 2 through 18, and argues that the state’s support of the fossil fuel industry has worsened the effects of climate change on their lives, depriving them of their constitutional rights, and citing language in Montana’s state constitution guaranteeing citizens “the right to a clean and healthful environment” for “present and future generations.”
Promoting a culture of belonging
“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.’”
Her experience as a first-generation student, though unrecognized at the time, played a major role in shaping Chilton as a student and later as a professor and administrator in higher education. And it ultimately helped sharpen her commitment to the inclusive and supportive atmosphere she wants to promote at UNH.
“It helped me understand, retrospectively, what the barriers were for me,” Chilton says of her reflection on the transition to college. “It has made me more sensitive to building cultures of belonging for all students, regardless of their backgrounds.”
Made in space
But what if it were feasible to manufacture a landing pad on the moon’s surface using a combination of materials already available in space, making a lunar settlement a legitimate possibility?
It may sound like a far-fetched sci-fi movie plot, but there’s a world in which it’s a reality within the next decade — and it’s a world UNH is helping bring into sharper focus.
“When you talk about a mission to Mars or even a lunar settlement, you’re not going to be able to rely on parts being supplied from Earth. If something breaks, you are going to need to be able to manufacture it there, on site,” says Brad Kinsey, associate dean of UNH’s College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. “Companies are already thinking about ways to use materials in space to build a landing pad on the lunar surface. There is talk about a lunar base within 10 years, and the goal is for UNH to be a part of that.”

Commencement
Community says farewell to Jim and Jan Dean
The community breakfast also gave the Deans the chance to share future plans and favorite UNH memories. Jim Dean is officially retired as the university’s 20th president, and he and Jan have resettled in North Carolina, where they lived just before moving to Durham in 2018, to take over the reins as president from Mark W. Huddleston.
The Deans’ list of accomplishments is long: under President Dean’s tenure, UNH has ranked as a top value public university in New England and in the top 7 nationally. Through his strategic priorities, he has focused on increasing student aid, ensuring greater on-time graduation rates and tracking graduates’ success once they leave Durham, Manchester and Concord.
And of course, any recollection of Dean’s legacy wouldn’t be complete without one of the biggest challenges faced by any leader: the COVID-19 pandemic. UNH’s response was a model for schools across the country, as transmission on UNH campuses was well below state and national averages, even at the height of the COVID crisis — thanks in large part to a team-based leadership model that allowed the university to create its own testing lab for the university community, as well as communities throughout the state.
PRIZES REWARD ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Drift-RMT, a renewable ocean data collection device that uses wave motion for self-sustaining power, beat out six other teams of entrepreneurs.
Ocean surface drifters collect data for climate modeling, severe weather prediction and ocean navigation. Traditional drifters last about 18 months, but the Drift-RMT drifter is projected to last four to six years.
Soon after the Holloway competition in May, the Drift team won the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2024 Marine Energy Collegiate Competition, beating out other teams from colleges and universities across the country.
We Gotta Have the Funk
Danny Bedrosian ’03 (pictured), music director for the renowned funk band George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic, was back on campus last fall to talk about his newly published book of music history, “The Authorized P-Funk Song Reference, 1956—2023.”
And he brought the band with him — Clinton and P-Funk performed a free concert in the MUB for the community.
“The history of African American music cannot be told without mentioning the considerable achievements of Parliament-Funkadelic,” says Professor Rob Haskins, chair and professor of music and one of the event organizers.
Proud, happy, emotional
“I’m so happy and so excited; she’s my little girl … but now I can see she’s not little anymore,” said Rodriguez, who was watching daughter Jasmine Rodriguez ’24 (pictured right) make a speech during the Aulbani J. Beauregard Center for Equity, Justice, and Freedom Celebration of Achievement and Excellence.
Jasmine’s sister, Caroline Reyes, was also in the audience, and said her younger sister is an inspiration.
“She motivated me to complete my degree, so I’m pursuing an associate’s degree at the moment. I’m just so proud of her,” said Reyes.
Pride, happiness and other positive emotions were all running high at the celebration, now in its second year. The event was created to celebrate “perseverance and achievement in the face of historic and ongoing exclusion and marginalization,” according to its organizers from the Beauregard Center, which itself was founded as a student center that partners with students from historically excluded and underserved backgrounds, with the goal to empower students to grow socially and academically.
Coach Boulanger Honored
The UNH track and field team renamed its opening outdoor home meet as the “Jim Boulanger Invitational.”
Coach Boulanger, a 1975 graduate of UNH, served as the men’s and women’s track and field/cross country head coach for an impressive 37 seasons, ascending to the head coach position after three years as an assistant. Throughout his storied career, Coach Boulanger nurtured numerous New England champions, IC4A honorees, and NCAA regional qualifiers, boasting three All-Americans under his tutelage. His coaching prowess earned him the title of America East Coach of the Year for outdoor track in the 1990 and 1996-1999 seasons, and for indoor track in 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2005. Additionally, he led the cross country squad to eight league championships from 1998-2008, garnering Coach of the Year honors seven times during that span. Coach Boulanger continued his success, clinching Outdoor Coach of the Year accolades in 2006 and during the back-to-back seasons of 2008 and 2009.
The UNH Wildcats bested Maine in the inaugural Boulanger meet overall with 153 points.
Aging and Caregiving
When it comes to talking to aging or chronically ill family members about healthcare, finances — even end-of-life care — and other sensitive topics, say UNH alumni experts, it’s best to just dive in.
Faculty member Jing Wang was joined by Rebecca Sky ’16G and Sean Stevenson ’95 for the webinar, “Navigating Caregiving Challenges.” The panel was moderated by Jennifer Rabalais ’91, co-director of the Center on Aging and Community Living, part of the College of Health and Human Services.

Mysterious dog illness research gets a boost
UNH receives significant grant from AKC’s Canine Health Foundation
Last fall, David Needle, pathology section chief at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (NHVDL), and a team of researchers and colleagues at UNH’s Hubbard Center for Genomic Studies (HCGS) gained national attention for their significant discovery in the mystery, as canceled dog parades and the worries of pet owners across the country made news headlines.
Veterinarians described the illness as a respiratory disease that can cause coughing, sneezing and lethargy; it can sometimes lead to pneumonia and does not respond to antibiotics.
Once a Century
“The more you learn, the more you realize how little you may think you know. I am grateful for the many outstanding UNH engineering faculty, staff and students that shared their enthusiasm, passion, expertise and experience with us. … Ultimately, I continue to strive to learn something new each and every day.”

Who Got You Through?
Carrie Harcus ’94: My dorm was Hetzel for the first two years. Junior and senior years, six of us lived in the “Greenies,” which I don’t believe exist anymore. My friends were all involved in different sororities, so I was an adopted little sister to a variety of organizations. We did not miss any hockey games. When I wanted to escape on my own to study or to complete an art project (and it was nice out), I would find a spot off of one of the wooded paths and get one with nature. Breathing in the fresh NH air still relaxes me.
Lasting Impressions
As the six-year tenure of President James W. Dean Jr. came to a close, community members reflected on his unprecedented presidency
Story By
Ali Goldstein
It is July 4, 2018. James W. Dean Jr. has just arrived in Durham to begin his new role: the 20th president of the University of New Hampshire. When he walks into town to find something for dinner, everything is closed for the holiday. He stumbles upon a little mart off Main Street that is, against all odds, open. As he pulls his wallet out of his pocket to pay, the proprietor looks right at him, recognizes the university’s new president and says, “It’s on the house.”
Later, fireworks light up the Seacoast, an auspicious beginning. For Dean, it marks the start of his six years as UNH president, stewarding the university through a period of great challenge and change, but also progress and potential.
Dean’s story as president of UNH needs to have a wide aperture, because it isn’t just about him. There are many individuals who made a difference to his tenure and whom he impacted in return. This is a narrative populated with some of those voices — and their shared desire to leave this place better than they found it.

Remembering Pearl
It was sage wisdom from a woman who proudly graduated from high school in 1926, when not a lot of women were able to graduate, and who, after the death of her husband, took on two jobs, raised five children, and would eventually become very engaged in the Claremont community.
“She was whip smart — and a fun person to be around,” recalls Chamberlain.
From a Field to a Stadium
The Tuckers are longtime supporters of UNH Athletics, and their gift is a significant step in transforming Tucker Field into a stadium. In addition to housing UNH teams, Tucker Field provides community space for the Oyster River Youth Association (ORYA).
“Athletics are an invaluable tool for bringing people together and providing a positive outlet for so many students and young athletes. Sports help build community and elevate an institution, and we are so proud to play a role in enriching that process at UNH,” Greg Tucker says.
Beyond new lighting, future plans for Tucker Field are that it will evolve into a stadium, with concessions, restrooms, stadium seating and other amenities.
Kid Investors?
Holland’s story is the backdrop of “Braving Our Savings,” a new children’s book that illustrates the power of investing and long-term planning versus short-term impulse buying.
It’s written by Sarah Samuels ’04, who, in her 20-year career in finance, has led the portfolio management of $45 billion public markets and hedge-fund portfolios and has been responsible for the endowment of Wellesley College, among other roles. She’s also served on boards and investment committees of varied organizations, including the UNH Foundation, Girls Who Invest and the CFA Society Boston. She founded the Boston chapter of Private Equity Women Investor Network (PEWIN).
She is currently a partner at Boston-based NEPC and oversees the firm’s investment managers research teams across public equities and credit, hedge funds and private markets.
Alumni News
Picture perfect
Smart guy.
The smarts got passed down to his granddaughter, Isabella Houley, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences and a minor in nutrition. The legacy of her grandfather, who passed away in 2013, is still strong on her family, says Isabella. So much so that, right before she graduated, she wanted to document the UNH connection the two share.
Alumni out and about
Both events were part of UNH Alumni Relations’ Executive Forum series, where alumni are invited to hear from UNH experts on current topics. In DC, UNH’s ocean-mapping guru Larry Mayer was joined by friend and colleague David A. Balton, who is the executive director of the federal Arctic Executive Steering Committee.
“If you haven’t been to one of these executive forums, you’re missing out on some fascinating stories and interesting perspectives — and meeting up with nearby alums, too,” says Associate Vice President of Alumni Relations Susan Entz ’08G.
She cites Don Colleran’s talk about his journey to corporate leadership, which was peppered with anecdotes of his college days at UNH. And at the DC event (hosted by Mike Ray ’86 ’90JD, managing director at Sterne Kessler), how Mayer and Balton “shared their expertise on a fascinating topic happening all around us that I don’t think a lot of people know about.
“I hope even more alumni take advantage of these opportunities to get an insider’s view on current events and issues — all with a UNH connection,” says Entz.

HAS IT REALLY BEEN 10 YEARS?
A sampling of what UNH Magazine was covering a decade ago:
BAY WATCH: A feature article recounted the “David-and-Goliath battle for the future of New Hampshire’s Great Bay,” when local activists — UNH alums and Durham residents — defeated a plan by millionaire Aristotle Onassis to build the world’s biggest oil refinery in the town of Durham. The magazine article points out that the Great Bay is a resource still worthy of protection and admiration. www.unh.edu/unhtoday/2014/06/bay-watch
TEAM SPIRIT: The fall edition featured Army Staff Sergeant Ryan Pitts ’13, who had received the Medal of Honor for “extraordinary acts of heroism at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty” for his valor during a 2008 insurgent attack in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province. www.unh.edu/unhtoday/2015/01/team-spirit
UNH GOES TO HOLLYWOOD: Jennifer (Rebecchi) Lee ’92 of “Frozen” fame was among a collection of UNH alumni who have made it big in Hollywood to share their stories. Others featured were Marcy Carsey ’66, Mike O’Malley ’88, Barbara Stoll ’74, Xochi Blymyer ’84, Martin Shore ’82, Karen Lagasse Struck ’81, Channing Chase ’61 and Court Crandall ’87. www.unh.edu/unhtoday/2014/02/unh-goes-hollywood
TOUGH LOVE: A reflection on the legacy of coach and mentor A. Barr “Whoop” Snively was featured in the fall edition, 50 years since the legendary Snively died of a heart attack at a gas station in town. “Yes, he was a coach, but more important, a builder of men,” said William Nelson ’58, a lacrosse captain under Snively. “He was like a second father to me and many others.” www.unh.edu/unhtoday/2014/11/tough-love

A Tony nod
But as she told UNH Magazine in 2020, her UNH professors, including Carol Lucha-Burns, Joseph Batcheller and John Edwards, saw something they thought was special and nurtured her. “I became a theatre baby!”
That theatre baby is all grown up, and after much success in TV, film and theatre, this year she was nominated for a Tony for her performance in “The Notebook,” which opened on Broadway in March.
A High-Flying Life
Shea, a native of Lawrence, Massachusetts, was working as an intern in the carpenters union when he drew an assignment at UNH. After spending several days high up on some scaffolding helping build what would become Kingsbury Hall, Shea decided he liked what he saw enough to march into the admissions office, grubby work clothes and all, to inquire about enrolling.
Back in Time
“Of course I came back for my UNH Reunion — it was the best four years of my life, where I met my best friend and where I met my husband,” said Sharon Raymond ’84, who attended with her husband Michael Raymond ’85, as well as Judy (Werner) Cathcart ’84. “They were roommates and I was always the third wheel,” Michael joked, as the pair ran into other classmates and friends outside of the bookstore.
Fifty Years, Countless Memories
Like many, she enjoyed seeing the changes to campus, albeit some — like the New England Center no longer being open — made her a bit sad. But her spirits perked as soon as she saw classmates and got reacquainted with many connections from 50 years ago, even though they were classmates she hadn’t known as an anthropology major here.
Mason was among nearly 1,000 alumni and their spouses and friends who returned to campus in early June for Reunion weekend, this year celebrating the classes of 1974, 1969 and 1964 as well as “the Big ’80s” (1983-1986) and early ’90s Smithies (those who lived in Smith Hall).
For those celebrating their 50th Reunion, the weekend included lots of laughs, but also some moments of reflection at the memorial service to pay tribute to 1974 classmates who had passed. Reunion attendees got to write their names in the T-Hall clock tower; take a guided tour of athletic facilities, the Olson Manufacturing Center and the Nursing Simulation Lab; and learn from faculty experts during the Wildcat Academy. Seminars included “Reflecting on Successes and Challenges: An Interview with President James W. Dean Jr. and First Lady Jan Dean;” “Coastal Resiliency on the Seacoast” with Diane Foster, director for the School of Marine Sciences and Ocean Engineering and “History Is Tricky: Deception Plans in World War II” with Marion Dorsey, professor of history and justice studies.
For all the classes at Reunion, quickly changing weather (from downpours to perfect sunshine) meant a chance to explore both indoor and outdoor venues. The relatively new tradition of the Wildcat picnic, featuring vendors on the lawn between T-Hall and James Hall, was popular, as were the class marches, MUB open houses and, of course, stops at the bookstore for necessary UNH ‘swag.’
A step back in time was the highlight of the 50th Reunion class dinner on Saturday night, with John Tommasi ’74 ’80G ’99G narrating a slideshow comparing what times were like 50 years ago to what they are today. Popular back then were pet rocks, Tab soda and a streaking fad that, yes, did come to UNH briefly. The crowd also reminisced about UNH hockey stars like Gordie Clark ’74 and Rick Olmstead ’74 ’88G, and of course, ’70s fashions like hip-hugger bell-bottoms.
All of it, agreed many attendees, was “far out” — Tommasi reminded the audience of that ’70s-speak for “great.”
“We worked hard to get those diplomas and couldn’t wait to get out there,” Tommasi said, as the dinner crowd smiled at his closing slide, a black-and-white photo of their Commencement, “but it’s been those four years we’ve reminisced about ever since.”
Overheard @ Reunion
DORM LIFE LIVES ON
Well put, Toby — although UNH might not put that exact phrasing in next year’s Reunion marketing materials.
Still, Trotman captured the emotion of many of his fellow former Smith Hall residents who had gathered on Reunion Weekend to celebrate the Smith Hall dorm life of the 1990s — why come back to campus? Why not, when you’ve got a whole weekend planned around one of the most special residence halls of the era.
The special “Smithies Reunion” included a hanging of the international flags, which adorned the outside of Smith during its years as the international dorm, as well as a dinner, where conversation was lively around a large community table in the building’s lounge.
Because of its small size and central location, Smith Hall became a coed, international dorm in 1983. The idea was to make it easier for international students to adapt to American culture. The dorm had about 100 residents at any given time, a mix of students from other countries and from the U.S.
In 2015, it ceased being a dorm and was converted into the admissions building and hub of admissions tours and activities for would-be Wildcats.
The building started off as the first women’s dorm on campus — Trotman said several of his Smith friends got to chat with two women in attendance who were among that female cohort of students.
“You always want to come back to campus, always,” says Trotman, who traveled from London to visit his old dorm and take part in Reunion festivities. “And this weekend is just that push you need — Reunion provides you that excuse to do it. And we get to see campus at a beautiful time of year and catch up with old friends.”

In Memoriam
Donald Osmond “Ossie” McLeod ’58
Soon after Katharine “Kathy” Tarbox met Donald “Ossie” McLeod, she was struck by his love of New Hampshire and his loyalty to UNH, where he had played football and lacrosse and was president of his class. They married in 1983 and went to the first of many UNH Reunions that year. “I met many of his lifelong friends,” Kathy says. “He loved the school and felt it had made him the man he was.” He was known to many as “Mr. UNH.”
A dedicated fundraiser for the university, Ossie liked to say, “If you put UNH on your resume, you should be making a sizable contribution to the school.” He showed his loyalty to his alma mater in many ways, including nine years as director of the UNH Foundation Board and providing financial support to athletic and academic programs.
