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 Uni-versity is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 11,942 and a graduate population of 2,257 in addition to 621 full-time faculty members, 86% 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 85% of its classes having 50 students or less.

HISTORY 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 733 international students from more than 45 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 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 Economics, 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 nation-wide 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, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard.

CAMPUSIn recent years, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. In Sep-tember 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. Renovations to the Center included the addition of 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 14 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines and an additional 15,000 pounds of weights. UNH athletics also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields, Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, lights, sound system, bleacher system, backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet

Oval was also renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. In the 2012 offseason, Cowell Stadium was fitted with a brand new scoreboard while the football locker rooms were renovated as well. In the locker rooms, a new lighting system was installed while a 55-inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH historical were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver. Walker suffered an untimely and heroic death March 18, 2011, in Boulder, Colo., when he stopped an attempted robbery and saved the life of a woman he was walking home. In November of 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex reached completion. The Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convocations, as well as a new three-level recreational sports facility within the structure that had housed the old Snively Arena. 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. The latest addition to the expanding campus is the Paul College of Business and Economics, a 115,000 square foot academic building located on Garrison Avenue. Slated for completion in January 2013, the building will feature 16 technology-rich classrooms, totaling 950 new instructional seats. There will also be 25 high-tech groups study rooms along with a two-story “Great Hall” for informal and special events. Outside of the facility, there will be a courtyard for outdoor activities and events. The building will be a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold facility, maintaining the University’s commitment to sustainable programs and facilities. The University broke ground on the project in May 2011. Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has also been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall in October of 2007, 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 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the 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 Me-morial Union Building. The 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. Additionally, the University completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library. Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the Uni-versity 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 appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

About UNH DR. MARK HUDDLESTON PRESIDENTMark W. Huddleston was elected the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bringing three decades of experience in public and private education as a faculty member, dean and senior administrator.

At UNH, President Huddleston oversees the implementation of a strategic plan that is transforming the University’s mission as the state’s flagship public research university and one the nation’s few land-, sea- and space-grant uni-versities. Created through a collaboration of faculty, students, staff, alumni and the University’s wider communities, this effort challenges the University to be innovative, entrepreneurial and responsive so that it can remain vital and financially sustainable.

The plan continues to guide the University’s diverse work, from its response to a historic cut in state support in 2011 to the creation of groundbreaking new initiatives. Among these are:

• the integration of UNH and the UNH School of Law (formerly Franklin Pierce Law Center),• an expansion of the UNH Manchester campus and the creation of the Emerging Technology Center,• the construction of the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics,• UNH’s participation in an agreement to double the number of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) graduates by 2025,• and the development of a comprehensive fundraising campaign.

President Huddleston has also advocated for a dramatic increase in international engagement. In 2010, UNH launched the state’s only Confucius Institute with a partnership with Chengdu University, entered a partnership with Navitas, an Australian firm that recruits and supports international students, and celebrated the 25th anniversary of the International Affairs Dual Major.

In May 2013, President Huddleston’s leadership as a strategic thinker, fiscal steward and collaborative problem-solver was recognized with his appointment to the newly formed Governor’s Commission on State Government Innovation, Efficiency and Transparency.

President Huddleston was raised in Syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family 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 political science. In 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware, where he served 24 years. There, he chaired the Department of Political Science and International Relations and was associate provost for international programs. In 2001, he was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, overseeing 45 academic departments and centers, 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.

On Jan. 31, 2014, the Univer-sity announced plans to construct a $25 million athletic complex as part of the campus’ master plan. Expected to open in late 2015, the facility will offer increased and improved seating, state-of-the art broadcast and WiFi capability, concessions, restrooms and a special student section. The original concrete section of the current East Side facility dates to the 1930s. Construction has already begun to take shape with the addition of stadium lights, replacement of the general admission stands and re-orientation of concrete stadium seating and aisle ways. Slated to be completed for the spring of 2015, UNH is building a $1.9 million Student-Athlete Center for Excellence at the Field House for its Division I and Northeast Passage student-athletes, funded entirely on private donations.

Scarano has helped elevate UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA championships. Most recently, New Hampshire was named host of the 2015 Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, N.H., the 2016 Women’s Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center and the 2017 Skiing Championship. Furthermore, UNH will assist the Hockey East Association in the upcoming Men’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four held at the TD Garden in Boston, Mass.

The NCAA recognized four University of New Hampshire teams (football, women’s indoor track & field, women’s outdoor track & field and men’s soccer) that recorded conference-high Academic Progress Rate scores for the 2013-14 year.

It marked the highest UNH GPA in the 19-year history of the award. For the fifth consecutive year, the Wildcats had the most student-athletes (114) recognized on the fall Academic Honor Roll. In addition, UNH earned the second-highest percentage (70.4) of student-athletes named to the 2013-14 America East Winter/Spring Academic Honor Roll. New Hampshire had 155 honorees, which represented 72 percent of the student-athletes who competed in those seasons, an improvement of 10 percent from the previous year.

During Scarano’s tenure, UNH teams have made 48 NCAA postseason appearances and captured 18 conference titles. Gymnastics has participated in 13 NCAA tour-naments, leading all programs over that span. Men’s ice hockey holds a pair of Hockey East titles and has made 11 trips to the NCAA tournament, including Frozen Four appearances in 2002 and 2003. The football program has qualified for the NCAA FCS postseason for a nation-leading 10 consecutive seasons and advanced to the semifinals for the first time in program history in 2013. Women’s ice hockey has seen NCAA action five times with two Frozen Four appearances. The squad also captured consecutive Hockey East Championships from 2006-09.

The field hockey team captured its second America East crown in three years and third overall in 2013 en route to its third national tournament appearance. Women’s lacrosse has earned a pair of NCAA berths (2004, 2008), one coming after an America East championship victory in 2004.

Additionally, 24 people have won 70 “Coach of the Year” awards during Scarano’s tenure, ranging from conference, regional and national, including head football coach Sean McDonnell garnering the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year by The Sports Network in 2005 after a stellar 11-2 campaign.

The Wildcat athletic department has played host to several highly successful NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regionals at the Verizon Wireless Arena in 2004, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013. UNH was host of the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center in 2002 and 2005. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in the Mt. Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center. The women’s hockey team played in the first outdoor game in the history of NCAA women’s hockey in 2010 at the Sun Life Frozen Fenway game and defeated Northeastern, while the men’s squad played in the 2012 Sun Life Frozen Fenway game against Maine. Football also competed in Colonial Clash games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., in 2010 and 2011; the Wildcats were victorious on both occasions against the University of Massachusetts.

In the spring of 2013, the artificial turf surface was replaced at Memorial Field, home of the Wildcat field hockey and women’s lacrosse teams. The project had an estimated cost of $850,000. The athletic training room in the UNH Field House was completely renovated over the winter break of the 2012-13 academic year. With a redesigned layout, energy-efficient lighting and state-of-the art equipment, the athletic training room is larger, more comfortable, enjoyable and efficient for student-athletes and staff. In the summer of 2013, a new scoreboard at Bremner Field, home of the UNH men’s and women’s soccer programs was installed at a cost of $20,000.

In 2012, a new scoreboard was installed at Cowell Stadium, and the football locker room received a facelift. Changes included a new lighting system while a 55-inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH historical images were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March of 2011. In the summer of 2007, the Cowell Stadium grass field was replaced with a $1 million FieldTurf synthetic surface.

As part of a $650,000 renovation project in the summer of 2011, the field turf at Bremner Field was replaced with a new surface used by many varsity teams and for student recreational activities. In the fall of 2008, the Paul Sweet Oval renovation was completed to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. The total cost of the project exceeded $500,000. Additionally in 2007, a complete renova-tion of Lundholm Gymnasium was undertaken. The $600,000 overhaul included a new bleacher system, new scoreboards, competition baskets and other aesthetic enhancements.

In 2007, Scarano was awarded the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) AD of the Year for the FCS. Additionally, Scarano was also named the All-American Football Foundation Athletic Director of the Year for FCS football in the Northeast region. Scarano has also been an active member in the leadership of UNH’s three major conferences and was the chair of the executive committees for Atlantic 10 football, Hockey East and America East from 2003 to 2007. He also served as chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee in 2005-06 and 2006-07 and is currently on the America East Executive Council. Most recently, Scarano was a member of the Hockey East restructuring team that successfully recruited Notre Dame and the University of Connecticut to the conference. Outside of athletics, Scarano is in his 11th year on the Board of Corporators at Canterbury Shaker Village, a non-profit museum located in Canterbury, N.H.

Before arriving at the University of New Hampshire, Scarano held the position of Athletics Director at Colorado College from July 1996 through June 2000. During his tenure, Colorado College was ranked among the top 20 Division III programs in the Sears Cup national standings and produced several All-Americans, all-academic award winners and NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients. Prior to his stay in Colorado Springs, Scarano worked for 13 years at Colgate University, where he served as assistant director of athletics, director of physical education, associate director, and senior associate director.

FACILITIES

COWELL STADIUM

Field Turf was installed at Mooradian Field prior to the ‘07 season.

John Ciani is in his 13th season with the UNH athletic department during the 2014-15 academic year. After four years as an assistant coach in the University’s strength and conditioning office, Ciani was promoted to the position of Associate Director of Strength and Conditioning in 2006.

Ciani’s efforts have been key in guiding UNH student-athletes to NCAA appearances in both men’s and women’s ice hockey, football, gymnastics, women’s volleyball, women’s lacrosse, skiing and track and field.

Coach Ciani is very passionate about his commitment to strength and conditioning. He has taken his wide range of experiences to come up with a distinct sport-specific training philosophy. In conjunction with the coaching staff, Ciani develops individualized training programs depending on the athlete’s initial evaluation, experience level and current athletic ability. Under Ciani’s program, improvement is not based on the weight on the bar, but rather how injury resistant the student-athlete is and his/her athletic performance.

Strength and conditioning programs designed by Ciani utilize all facets of training, from conventional strength training and Olympic Weightlifting to simple conditioning and sport-specific metabolic runs that enhance the athlete’s abilities during competition. No single training style dominates the program; Ciani uses a combination of all training techniques for the total development of the student-athlete.

Ciani was a featured speaker at the Vermont State Clinic for the National Strength & Conditioning Association in June 2010. The Sports Performance clinic, which was held at the University of Vermont Varsity Weight Room, was attended by athletic trainers strength coaches, personal trainers, and other fitness professionals across the New England area. In addition to Ciani, the clinic included presentations from strength coaches from Boston College, Dartmouth and Boston University.

Ciani, a native of the San Diego, Calif. area, came to UNH after a stint as assistant strength coach at the University of North Dakota. During his tenure at UND, Ciani worked primarily with the 2001 Division II national championship football team, women’s volleyball and men’s basketball teams. In 2000, he began his career at Long Beach State as a graduate assistant working with the perennial national power women’s volleyball team, where he trained many All-American and national team level volleyball players, including Misty May.

Ciani received his B.A. degree in Psychology from Long Beach State and attended graduate school at both Long Beach State and the University of North Dakota. John lives in Berwick, Maine with his wife, Angela and son, Brennan.

2014 OUTLOOKThe UNH women’s soccer program will not only start a new season, but a new era under the direction of first year head coach Steve Welham. Steve’s coaching style is “Fit, organized and defensively sound; a ball possession team that can be dynamic. We want to get to the point where we can take the game to the opposition.”

Welham, who is joined by first-year assistants Amanda Webb and Nic DeZenzo, takes the reigns of the program consisting of 16 returning letterwinners and 10 newcomers. “One of our major goals is to improve on a daily basis on the field,” stated Welham.

Last year, UNH was strong on defense as the team allowed 21 goals throughout the season, including eight during conference play (1.08 GAA). The squad had a seven-game unbeaten streak from Sept. 25 (Holy Cross) to Oct. 17 (UMass Lowell). The offense put together a total of 12 goals last season.

Senior forwards Jenna Shaddock (Halifax, Nova Scotia) and Meghan Ledwith (Yardley, Pa.) were named co-captains for their final season wearing Blue and White. The senior class includes Hannah Blondin (East Hampton, Conn.), Jordan Logue (Wal-pole, Mass.) and the addition of Caroline Murray (New Canaan, Conn.), a transfer from Ohio State who played two seasons as a midfielder for the Buckeyes.

Shaddock played in a total of 16 games during the 2013 campaign and earned the start in nine matches while adding a total of three points (one goal, one assist). She scored a goal in a 4-1 win at Providence College (Aug. 30). Ledwith posted a total of six points (2g, 2a) in 2013. Logue, who was known for her defensive punch last season, recorded a goal to help defeat Harvard University (Sept. 11) and sent nine shots at the opposition.

The junior class is comprised of Kirsten O’Neil (Hampton, N.H.), Kennedy Nickerson (Niantic, Conn.), Gabrielle Sloan (Stow, Mass.), Kellie McGoldrick (Ambler, Pa.), Cassandra Prario (Somerset, Mass.) and Melissa Gloekler (Bow, N.H.). O’Neil start-ed all 18 games and led the team in goals (5), assists (4) and points (14). O’Neil tallied a team-high 48 shots to rank fifth in the America East Conference. Sloan returns to the lineup after an injury at home Oct. 9 vs. Dartmouth ended her season prematurely.

Gloekler will serve as the manager for the 2014 season due to an injury and will add support from the sideline.

The sophomore class features six returning players and two transfers. Standout goalkeeper Mimi Borkan (Medfield, Mass.) returns after a successful freshman season. Midfielders Cierra Dubinsky (Sutton, Mass.), Kayli Igoe (Durham, N.H.), Kelsey Pratt (Milford, Mass.) and Lilly Radack (Madbury, N.H.) are set to return to the pitch for UNH. Danielle Tidd (Alton Bay, N.H.) will be the backup keeper.

The two sophomore newcomers are midfielder Morgan Smith (Canton, Conn.) and Abby Short (Stratham, N.H.). Smith comes from Coastal Carolina University, where she started five of 19 games in 2013 adding 13 total shots on net. Short, a Granite State native, had originally committed to Boston University, however spent the 2013-14 year as a student at the Uni-versity of New Hampshire.

Borkan was named an America East All-Rookie Team selection in 2013. She tallied a record of 3-5-5 in net for the ‘Cats and earned five clean sheets, three of which came in conference play. She posted an .849 save percentage during her rookie cam-paign.

Eight freshman faces are on the team: Jackie Feraco (Sutton, Mass.), Fallon Greene (Smithfield, R.I.), Veronica Hardy (North Smithfield, R.I.), Brooke Murphy (Monson, Mass.), Mia Neas (Old Saybrook, Conn.), Reilly Williams (Suffield, Conn.), Angela Ward (Cambridge, Mass.) and Sydney Crema (Litchfield, N.H.).
