Undergraduate Research Conference
Since its inception, nearly 10 years ago, the UNH Undergraduate Research Conference has emerged as a defining event at the University. The Conference is a weeklong college-wide celebration of the quality and breadth of research, creativity and scholarly work of students attending the UNH Manchester campus. The Manchester events are blended with a university-wide calendar of events on both the Durham and Manchester campuses. As a college community, UNH Manchester takes pride in the efforts of our students and in the skill and dedication of the faculty who have guided them.

Faculty Voices
"The conference is a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their own enthusiasm on research with the college community. The experience of (my student) further refined her own views (on her topic) and allowed her to share them with a wider audience. I'm sure that it also increased her confidence and her sense of satisfaction with the work she had been doing."
"What a wonderful forum, what a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their work with classmates, faculty, and staff. The variety of interests, the degree of initiative, and the close work with mentoring faculty is refreshing."
