  • Ellie Masson, Master in Public Policy graduate and a former NH Listens fellow, speaking in front of a sign

    "The biggest impact, or my favorite part, has just been bringing people together and facilitating community…So these tough conversations that we have with a school, or an organization, or just a group of interested people who want to come together, who want to find solutions together, have been super impactful and have led me to find that I want to work in community building after my degree."

  • Kristine Bundschuh, Nordblom Fellow

    "The Nordblom Fellowship provided me the time and funding to cultivate my academic area of interest. This opportunity to conduct research during my first summer of graduate school at UNH laid the foundation for my subsequent M.A. thesis and Ph.D. dissertation research."

    "The Nordblom fellowship allowed me to design and execute my own research project and gave me the opportunity to explore an area I am passionate about outside of academic work. Being paired with an experienced faculty advisor throughout the project helped me develop skills and methods I would never have learned in the classroom."
