University Day – or UDay – is a beloved fall tradition where UNH’s more than 250 student organizations share what they’re all about and recruit new members. This year, UDay was back! Last week, the UNH campus gathered outdoors once again for friends, food, and fun. Across Thompson Hall lawn, Scott Hall lawn and Main Street, the class of ‘25 (and all their fellow Wildcats) met with student organizations and enjoyed performances by the marching band and UNH aerialists. I got a chance to talk with representatives from some of these organizations about why they might be a great fit for current and future students. For each of these organizations, I’ve provided social media information so can follow them if you’re interested in learning more.
