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

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 din-ing opportunities, while Hampton Beach, to the south, is a popular vacation spot.

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 rec-reational activities exist on the many lakes in the area.

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

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

Amtrak’s Downeaster, with a station located on campus, is a great way to travel to Boston or Portland. As a pas-senger, you’ll enjoy miles of scenic land-scape en route to your destination.

wildcat HOcKEY

ThePattyKazmaierMemorialAward,anhonorestablishedbyUSAHockey,isbestowedannuallytothemostoutstandingcollegiatewomen’sicehockeyplayer.TheAwardwascreatedinconjunctionwiththeAmericanWomen’sCollegeHockeyAlliancenationalchampi-onship, which originated in 1998. Each year, a committee nominates 10 candidates and a separate committee selects three finalists from that pool of candidates. That committee then decides which finalist will receive the honor as most outstanding collegiate player in the nation. UNH was the only women’s ice hockey program to have a candidate in each of the first five years the award was presented. The 2003 season marked the first time that a Wildcat was not in consideration as a candidate. In the initial three years (1998-2000), a University of New Hampshire player was selected among the finalists. In 1998, Brandy Fisher led the nation in scoring, the ‘Cats to a national championship and was honored as the inaugural recipient of the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award. In 1999, both Nicki Luongo and Carisa Zaban were named candidates and Luongo was named a finalist. In 2000, Zaban was once again selected as a candidate and was voted as a finalist. Michelle Thornton was named one of the 10 candidates in 2001; Kira Misikowetz (‘02), Nicole Hekle (‘06), Martine Garland (‘07 & ‘08), Sam Faber (‘08) and Jenn Wakefield (‘09) have received that same distinction.

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.

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

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 miles of scenic landscape en route to your destination.

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.

UNH leads the East coast in the amount of grant money received – approximately 65 million dollars per year.

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