Famed poet Robert Louis Stevenson once said, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.” And that is a task that this week’s Campus Celebrity can graduate in two weeks knowing that she accomplished. This familiar gal has made herself known around campus from her passion for photography to her involvement in student organizations including Main Street Magazine, The New Hampshire, Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority, and her day-jobs working as a student intern in the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership and receptionist in the MUB administration office. Oh, and she also takes frequent trips to the country of Oman where she dabbles in international journalism and photojournalism. ...

March 4, 2013 - 12:00am

The floor buckles under the overwhelming weight of more than one hundred guests packed wall-to-wall. Bass pounding like a heartbeat, rhythmic bursts of light dance around the wide, overfilled room and pass through the hypnotized and sweat-drenched crowd. A musical ventriloquist, Rhyot is the stimulus to the party’s addicting ambiance. But when the equipment is put away and the crowd dies out, 22-year-old Garrett Finn resumes his status as a seemingly average UNH senior.  READ MORE

         This week's campus celebrity is has an absolutely inspiring story. You would never know by looking at a picture of Jake, or by passing him on the street that just a few months ago he was in the fight of his life. Last March, just like every other eighteen year old, Jake was beginning to get back into the swing of exams and schoolwork for his second semester at UNH. Jake- a Durham native, noticed that he kept getting constant headaches (more severe than the usual stress-migrane we all experince each semester). Luckily, as a commuter, he was able to swing by the doctors after class one day. His doctor told him he, like most students and many of the people in his family, was probably experiencing a chronic migrane, a logical diagnosis for a...

Tall, dark, handsome, talented, articulate in Italian: this Campus Celebrity could easily cross over to the Campus Cutie archives. But as a 24-year-old professional basketball player, Dane DiLiegro is far more worthy of celebrity status on and off campus.  The 6-foot-9-inch University of New Hampshire alumnus makes his current home in Sassari, Italy, where he plays professional basketball in the Italian basketball league. His team, Dinamo Basket Sassari, competes in Serie A, the highest level of competition in Italian professional basketball.  READ MORE
