Always in Action“Our program is special in the fact it offers Friends in Action,” Holt says. “When I came in, I didn’t really have very much knowledge about adaptive physical education … and it can be challenging if you’re not properly trained in that field. So for UNH to be able to offer that is huge because it really sets me apart.”
—Brenden Holt, '17
