You understand that research in higher education is facing unprecedented challenges—funding constraints, shifting priorities, and increasing costs threaten the hands-on learning experiences that prepare students to tackle today’s complex ocean and coastal issues. Your support is more critical than ever.
- You won't be alone, either: Every $1 you give to SMSOE or SML will unlock $1 for SML from a generous anonymous underwriter!
As UNH’s first interdisciplinary school, the School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering (SMSOE), along with the Shoals Marine Lab (SML), is committed to providing students with transformative research opportunities—right here on the New Hampshire seacoast, offshore at Appledore Island, and even as far away as the Arctic.
When you give during The (603) Challenge, you directly empower students to pursue groundbreaking research in the areas they are most passionate about, ensuring their innovative ideas help our world. Your generosity also helps make life-changing summer educational and research experiences accessible to all students, regardless of financial background.
Please help us reach our goal of 200 donors between SMSOE and SML. Show your support for students on the seacoast, the Isle of Shoals, and at sea. Make your gift today!
