Town Hall Meeting with Anthony Davis
Info: Join Dean Anthony Davis of the University of New Hampshire’s College of Life Sciences and Agriculture (COLSA) for an in-depth conversation about one of the most significant organizational shifts in UNH’s recent history: the merger of COLSA and UNH Cooperative Extension. Dean Davis will outline the motivations behind this integration, highlight early impacts, and share how the merger positions UNH to address emerging challenges across the food system. In addition to his vision for the future of food-related work at UNH, the session provides a unique opportunity for growers to share the needs, challenges, and priorities shaping their operations -- helping inform how UNH can better support New Hampshire’s agricultural community through research, outreach, and innovation.
