UNH 2030

We aim to inspire students to explore, enroll and succeed at UNH by expanding recruitment, tailoring academic opportunities and highlighting experiential learning and outcomes for all learners. Efforts will focus on attracting and retaining students, and enhancing strategic enrollment planning to reach diverse groups of students at all levels.  

Using market research on student, family and alumni perceptions, UNH will develop a holistic marketing plan to showcase its distinct strengths in academic excellence, research, location and sustainability. We will also optimize financial aid and highlight student career outcomes to communicate the value of a UNH education to the public.   

The university will foster student connections, belonging and a vibrant campus experience. We will enhance engagement through research, co-curricular opportunities and well-being initiatives, while also improving campus facilities to better serve academic and recreational needs. 

UNH will embed student success and academic excellence into all aspects of its culture, policies and practices to create a supportive environment where every student can thrive personally and professionally.
