Session 1 (8:00 AM-2:00 PM) | Session 2 (1:00 PM-6:00 PM)
UNH Hamel Scholars are looking forward to hosting you on campus. Register for one of our three Hamel Scholars Shadow Days to get a personalized campus experience and learn more about what it means to be a Hamel Scholar in the UNH Honors College. Connect one-on-one with a Hamel Scholar to ask questions about the program, extracurriculars, coursework and about daily life at UNH. We will work hard to match you with a student who shares an academic or cocurricular interest.
The Hamel Scholars Program
As a Hamel Scholar, you will join a vibrant intellectual community with close-knit honors living, meaningful faculty connections, and opportunities to pursue innovative research starting your first year.
UNH Honors College
Huddleston Hall, Ste 201
73 Main Street, Durham, NH 03824
Students will have the option to attend one of the two sessions offered each Shadow day. Please hold open 8:00 am-2:00 pm for the first session or 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm for the second session. Holding these times gives us the flexibility to make a better match for you. Due to the demand of the program, students are only allowed to attend one session.
While students are participating in their shadow experience, parents/guardians and other guests will have the opportunity to explore campus on a self-guided tour or explore the Durham community. Feel free to ask us for places we recommend seeing or visiting when you check-in.
Note: Students will likely not be on campus for the entirety of the "held" time. You can expect your total time on campus to be about 3 hours within the selected window.
Students attending a Hamel Shadow Day can expect to
- Meet and spend time with a Hamel Scholar
