Last week University System of New Hampshire Chancellor Stephen Reno announced he will be stepping down from his post next June. Over eight years as Chancellor he’s overseen the appointment of the four Presidents of New Hampshire’s four State Colleges as well as developed a new plan to try and retain more students in New Hampshire. He’s also had to deal with rising tuition costs and the state's ranking last in state support for higher ed. We’ll talk with Chancellor Reno about his years on the job, what he hopes to accomplish before he leaves and the state of higher education in New Hampshire.

current costs:

$5,300 room
$3,300 meals
$8,810 tuition
$1,130 fees
$850 or more books

1 year = over $20,000. 4 years over $80,000 - what does that kind of debt do to a recent grad? There is a better of $25 million rather than building a new business dept.

To Dr. Reno

Dear Dr. Reno:

Remembering you fondly from many years ago.

As Always,love
