On behalf of our 600 plus student-athletes, coaches and staff, I
want to welcome you to our website unhwildcats.com
The residents of New Hampshire, as well as the parents, alumni and
friends of UNH, are very proud of our athletes and all of their
accomplishments. Our dedicated staff works very hard to
maintain a strong “esprit ‘de corps” in athletics
and remain highly competitive in an ever challenging
environment. Most of all….we love what we do and are
privileged to serve UNH and the state.
UNHWildcats.com will direct you to everything that is “UNH
Athletics.” This website will keep you current and up
to date whether you are nearby or on the other side of the globe,
and all of it at your fingertips!
I hope you will take the time to read our mission statement
because it acts as the very foundation for all that we seek to
accomplish. Integral to our program is our commitment to
academic achievement with a goal to graduate 100% of our
student-athletes. Another core value, while we aspire to
compete nationally, is that we will always do so with integrity,
class and pride. Additionally, as a land grant institution,
our commitment to community in the form of service and engagement
is central to our endeavor. If we aren’t serving the
state of New Hampshire, we aren’t supporting our
institutional status as the state’s “flagship”
university.
UNH has a long, storied athletics history with many
championships. We are also well known for coaching prowess
and have had many acclaimed coaches. Yet, we never sit on our
laurels and have aggressive plans for the future….your
support and involvement is essential to our future
aspirations. It is our hope that unhwildcats.com will be a
vital link to our university and the athletics department. We
want you to visit us often and to especially communicate with
us. We need and want your input on all issues pertinent to
athletics as we are always striving to improve.
Thanks for taking the time to visit our website, and I look
forward to our future interaction…
