SAVE THE DATE! The 603 Challenge starts Sunday, June 3rd at 12 PM and ends Friday, June 8th at 6 PM ET. This online-only challenge is an annual fundraising campaign that offers alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends the chance to make a gift to the area(s) that are most meaningful to them at UNH. Thanks to a generous group of donors underwriting the challenge, these gifts are matched up to $150 per donor until the pool of $150,000 in matching funds runs out. In addition, there are surprise bonus opportunities throughout the week that can make your gift go even further.

Please mark your calendars and consider supporting UNHInnovation by designating a gift to one of our participating units.

Designate a gift to the Peter T. Paul Entrepreneurship Center (ECenter)
The goal of the ECenter is to create the next generation of leaders with an entrepreneurial mind-set who can see opportunities and identify creative solutions others have missed. Although part of UNH, the ECenter is independent of any one college.  The ECenter’s continued growth and success is reliant on donations, grants, and sponsorships from UNH alumni, friends, parents, foundations, and companies.

Designate a gift to the UNH InterOperability Lab
The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) tests networking and data communications products. Since 1988, the laboratory has fostered multi-vendor interoperability while preparing students for careers in the industry. The laboratory has grown steadily into one of the industry's premier independent proving grounds for new technologies.

Designate a gift to the Connectivity Research Center
Connectivity is a multi-disciplinary research center focused on network engineering, cyber security, and collateral technology areas. The focus of its work is to investigate next generation communication systems to enable a more connected world.

The challenge opens on June 3rd at 12 PM and giving is simple! Just visit https://www.unh.edu/603/, select the program you wish to support, and fill in your information.
