Senior Class Gift Medals!

As students prepare to graduate, they can celebrate their achievements and leave a lasting impact on UNH by participating in the Senior Class Gift! Seniors who give will receive the traditional Commencement medal to wear during the ceremony, recognizing their support for future Wildcats.

All gifts are charitable and tax-deductible. To count toward the Senior Class Gift and qualify for a medal, contributions should be made in the student’s name.

Make a gift today at https://give.unh.edu/student-giving-form/?a=9454063 to any area of UNH that means the most —whether it’s a favorite department, team, club, or program. Your support honors the Class of 2025 and helps shape opportunities for future students.

Thank you for being part of this meaningful tradition!

We can’t wait!

We can’t wait!

Wildcats, we're over the moon to announce our 2025 commencement speaker — Lt. Col. Scott "Kidd" Poteet '96! šŸš€

This Durham native and proud UNH alum made history as part of the first Polaris Dawn mission, completing the first commercial spacewalk and achieving the highest altitude of any human spaceflight mission since the Apollo program. From flying with the Thunderbirds to conducting the first commercial spacewalk, Scott's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

"UNH taught me to embrace challenges," says Poteet, who discovered his love of flying through UNH's Air Force ROTC program.

We can't wait to welcome this stellar Wildcat back to campus to inspire our Class of 2025! šŸ’™šŸ¾
