How UNH students get involved

DURHAM, NH – There are many ways for students to get involved at the University of New Hampshire (UNH), such as joining a club, a sports team, or becoming a Resident Assistant (RA). Kate Cone and Jiwan Nepal are students who similarly chose the RA path, but they differ in how they choose to be most involved on campus. Nepal primarily focuses on his RA position, while Cone juggles her RA position and an administrative role in a sustainable food organization.

Opportunities present themselves for various personality types to get involved on campus, and Nepal and Cone are perfect examples of how students can fulfill their desire to stay involved without completely going out of their comfort zone. For example, Nepal described himself as being on the shy side, while Cone is more outgoing. The RA position alone is enough for Nepal to feel integrated in campus culture, while Cone puts her efforts heavily into an organization called Slow Food UNH in addition to her RA position, putting her in the path of many more students to connect with.
