Welcome back from winter break. It's great to see the walkways and halls busy with students for spring semester. I know you work hard and look forward to the opportunity to unwind. Nevertheless, I want to take this opportunity to urge you to keep civility and respect for our community while you are having fun.
I was deeply saddened when two of our students required hospitalization after an assault during the very first weekend of the semester. Brawling is not how a community behaves. Thank you for standing up against violence and providing the information necessary for police to arrest the two perpetrators.
This coming weekend, many of us will be watching the Super Bowl. I know many of you are Patriots fans (as am I, at least once the Bills are statistically eliminated from the playoffs, which is usually around week four or five) and plan to celebrate on Sunday. Enjoy the game, but please do so responsibly. Win or lose, remember that it is just a game. We've all heard about sports fans behaving badly after big games in other cities, but I am confident UNH students will demonstrate better spirit. Please don't prove me wrong.
Mark W. Huddleston
UNH President
