WHAT’S INSIDE

Student Story: Melissa BrunoWritten by Erin Clark, English major

Who says CIS majors have to be nerdy and shy? Melissa Bruno, a ’09 graduate of Pinkerton Academy and a sophomore at UNH Manchester, defies nerdy negative stereotypes with her active involvement on campus.

Last year she was the Student Activities Promoter for Jamie Saucier and was very successful in leading the Guild of Gaming club – one of the largest on campus at the time. This year she is busy taking a full course load, working two tech jobs on campus, still participating in the Guild of Gaming and participating in a new endeavor: the puppet club, Threads of Imagination. Bruno says, “clubs are great

opportunities for people with common interests to hang out and have fun.”

One of Bruno’s many titles is a computer lab attendant. She really enjoys this job because she gets to help and work with different people, something she hopes to do with her Computer Information Systems degree. Her second job is a technology consultant at the new Pandora building with two other students, Tyler Martin and David Meehan. For Bruno, it was really exciting to be involved in setting up the new computer lab at Pandora this past summer.

In addition to her many jobs and roles, Bruno is also a STEM (Science Technology Engineering & Math) Scholar. She will be receiving scholarships in addition to

participating in events like the First Year Service day and attending conferences like the Grace Hopper Conference for women and

Vertical GardenWritten by Ian O’Dowd, business major

Walking into the first floor entrance of UNH Manchester, visitors may be surprised to see a nook near the main stairway that is

bursting with foliage. This living wall is one-of-a-kind in New Hampshire, and it isn’t just for show.

Beginning in November 2012, the college will be the home of the northernmost, as well as the only indoor, public vertical garden.

Aaron Kinne, a student in the general studies program at UNH Manchester, is the designer and creator of the living wall.

Financial Aid NewsBy Lowell Mower

It’s November. The “newness” of the fall semester has worn off, spring seems like a long way from now, and FAFSAs for the next year won’t be available for three months!

That doesn’t mean there is not work to be done… here are five tips to keep you on track with your college finances:

Put a reminder in your phone calendar: Put a super annoying loud alarm that rings on January 1st (or the 2nd if you were out late for new years eve) reminding you to file your FAFSA for the new year. Make it your resolution to be on time!

Start a small savings: Start putting away $5 or $10 a week for a book fund, gas money, or school supplies. A little bit goes a long way and now is a good time to start for next semester.

Hard work pays off: Keep your head in your books as we head into the holidays. It is hard with family coming in from out of town and the seasonal parties popping up every weekend, but remember, a lot of scholarships have GPA minimums and it is important to always go for that A!

Meet with your counselor: Take advantage of pre-registration so you know how much your tuition costs are going to be and whether you’re covered or not.

Scholarships: Never stop your scholarship search! Be on the lookout year-round for scholarships which apply to your major, ethnicity, location, etc. – and write your essays in advance!

STUDENT HEALTH 101: Room to StudyBy Amanda Holst

While school has just started, it’s not too soon to start creating a study space that will maximize your ability to concentrate. Studying more often isn’t the only thing that will help you get good grades; studying effectively is just as important. Setting aside a regular place to focus on your work can reduce stress and help make it easier and more pleasant to prioritize, focusing on the tasks that affect how well you do in school. Whether you live on or off-campus, having a good study plan is a key to succeeding this semester.

Welcome Celebration Mark Huddleston, President of UNH, was on campus in October to officially welcome Dean Ali Rafieymehr to UNH Manchester and to celebrate the college’s expansion into the historic Pandora Mill.

Winter Closures

Imagine dragging yourself out of bed, driving on slippery roads only to find the doors locked when you arrive to school. This is probably not your idea of a very good day! Become familiar with the University’s winter closure procedures so you can stay in bed instead.

First, it’s important to note that UNH Manchester closures are made independently of Durham. Decisions about morning operations are made by 6:00 a.m., and decisions about evening operations are made by 3:30 p.m.

If there is a decision to close or to delay opening, a recorded message will be on the UNH Manchester Information Line (641-4100). If we are open, the message on the information line will state that UNH Manchester is following its normal operating schedule. Closing and delay information can be heard on the radio stations noted below and on WMUR television. In addition, a message will be posted to the UNH Manchester website. (Closure information will NOT be posted on social media sites.)

You may also receive a text or email message through the UNH Manchester Alert-Roam Secure System. If you have not yet signed up to receive text messages about curtailed operations, go to alert.unh.edu to register your email address, pager, cell phone, or Blackberry.

Please be sure that the information from radio or television refers to UNH Manchester.WMUR Channel 9 televisionWOKQ 97.5 FMWZID 95.7 FMWFEA 1370 AMWMLL 96.5 FMWGIR 610 AM and 101 FMWJYY 105.5 FM

Graduate School News

Nancy’s StoryThinking about Graduate School? MBA Graduate Student Nancy Horn has taken her career to the next level by pursuing her degree.

My UNH graduate education has enhanced both my career and my personal life. Prior to beginning the MBA program I had extensive experience in technical project management, though I lacked the insight and understanding of why businesses worked the way they do. I managed people and learned by trial and error what motivated them to perform well. At times I felt (as most workers do) like a victim of upper management decisions and not always in control of my own destiny. I thought that poor performance was always an employee’s fault. Furthermore, beyond the field of Information Technology, it was somewhat of mystery to me how a business was actually run.

Graduate School has changed all that. In class I have learned that poor employee performance can be a management problem, and that organizations must be designed to fit the business, and that people respond to incentives. Gaining an understanding of human behavior and organizational theory was like acquiring a whole new set of tools to do my job!

Read Nancy’s story at: www.gradschool.unh.edu/manchester

Learn more about the MBA program by attending the Information Session on Tuesday, November 6 at 6pm in the new Pandora Mill Building, 88 Commercial Street, first floor. RSVP to: [email protected].

National Honor SocietyMore than 150 students from 17 New Hampshire area high schools were on campus in October for their annual National Honor Society Conference. Presenters included Governor John Lynch, Associate Dean Daniel Reagan, Colleen Bolton, Roger Illescas, Barbara Wirth and students Allison Pelletier and Sarina Johnson.

Tracking MiceOn a chilly Tuesday morning in October, students met in the woods behind Manchester Water Works to check mouse traps set the previous evening by their classmates. The students were enrolled in General Ecology (BIOL 541) with Professor Stephen Pugh.

Professor Pugh’s objective for the course is to determine if a dirt road is a barrier to movement by white-footed mice. “This is determined by comparing movement patterns in two areas, one with a dirt road and the other without,” said Pugh. “Through this project students will learn how to design and conduct an experiment that tests a hypothesis concerning the ecology of a local small mammal.”

Why does this matter? The project provides information about the mouse’s home range, their habitat and range of movement. The research will help students better understand the ecology of a species while providing them with firsthand experience researching and reporting.

“If the road is a barrier then groups of mice can become isolated, which may affect whether the group will survive or go extinct,” said Pugh.

Time to Clean Your Closets!Dig into your closet and pull out any warm coats, gloves, hats and scarves that you’re not wearing anymore and bring them to campus! Students coordinating the Warmth from the Millyard project will put them to good use, making sure they go to someone who needs them.

The Warmth from the Millyard project launched the annual warm clothing drive in late October. They will be collecting clean, new or lightly used, winter clothing to donate to Child and Family Services and The Way Home in Manchester, NH.

Warm winter jackets, hats, mittens, scarves, snow suits, pants, new long underwear or socks are accepted. You can drop off your lightly used winter clothing at UNH Manchester through November 16, 2012. One article of clothing is one step closer to ensuring that someone will not go cold, suffering from the harsh effects of the winter!

Sleep OutOn a chilly night in October, 15 UNH Manchester students and faculty slept outside by the river at Arms Park to raise awareness of homelessness and poverty in NH.

Participants received pledges for every hour they spent outside. Throughout the night, while bundled up, they watched short movies about homelessness and reflected on the issues of homelessness and poverty.

All of the money was given to The Way Home, Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter and the NH Food Bank. The project was coordinated by UNH Manchester’s Warmth from the Millyard Project.

DYN Supports ExpansionDean Ali Rafieymehr announced that Dyn will be a founding partner in the creation of the Emerging Technology Center (ETC) at the college’s newly expanded campus at Pandora Mill. The ETC will create an environment where students collaborate with business partners and work on real world projects.

The ETC will be a one-of-a kind technology learning laboratory slated to launch in January 2013. The ETC will support advancement in education and technology because of a 3-year, $125,000 commitment from Dyn and its philanthropic entity, DynCares.

Jeremy Hitchcock, CEO and founder of Dyn, highlighted his enthusiasm for the City of Manchester and his long standing belief in innovation and education. “The ETC will be a place where business, industry and students can play with emerging technologies and be inspired,” he said. “There is a back log of high paying technology and engineering jobs out there and the ETC will train and prepare students to fill them.”

Dean Rafieymehr envisions the ETC as a place where “our students will work on real world projects in collaboration with business partners while they increase their skills and education. We are pleased to be able to share a vision for the future with Dyn.”

computing in Baltimore this October. Here she will have the chance to network, visit different panels and see new technology. Bruno hopes to go back as a Senior with her resume in hand and meet potential employers.

In addition to her busy life on campus, Bruno enjoys hanging out with her friends and twin sister and playing games- her favorite being Skyrim. Bruno chose UNH Manchester because she had heard a lot of good things about it, and liked the idea of a commuter campus. This turned out to be a great decision. She loves the “refreshing atmosphere, and the friendly people,” and after seeing her at various events around campus and talking with her, I’d say Melissa Bruno is definitely one of those friendly, involved and active students.

Bruno proves that no matter how busy you are, or how many jobs you have, you can still find time to participate on campus, enjoy your time and succeed in classes.
