New PSU Space To Be Named After Former Executive Councilor Ray Burton

What Plymouth State University is calling the The Raymond S. Burton ’62 Open Laboratory  is a computer-enhanced meeting and study space.

Plymouth State officials say the new space is indicative of the university’s fresh focus on interdisciplinary studies and partnerships with local businesses.

The new center is being funded by Duane Baxter and Reta Presby, lifelong friends of Burton’s. Governor Maggie Hassan will be on hand to dedicate the new facility, as will several North Country politicians, including Dalton State Senator Jeff Woodburn, a former participant in Burton’s long-running internship program. 

I cover campaigns, elections, and government for NHPR. Stories that attract me often explore New Hampshire’s highly participatory political culture. I am interested in how ideologies – doctrinal and applied – shape our politics. I like to learn how voters make their decisions and explore how candidates and campaigns work to persuade them.
