Only one of the Dogs of CEPS can be best in show, but they all go home winners when you help their departments and programs hit their area challenges. If you keep meaning to vote for one of these adorable pups, but haven’t gotten around to it, TODAY IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. Plus your gift will earn the “Procrastinators’ Bonus”: Every new donor who makes a gift will get an equal portion of $75,000 added to it!

"The Dinah Whipple STEAM Academy not only provides great learning experiences that enrich children's lives, they also make them financially accessible to families like mine who couldn't otherwise afford this type of program. In addition to the summer camp, my son has also had the opportunity to attend two amazing field trips, and I've been able to meet other parents and families," says Shayna deRochemont. Help us make our programs available to all curious learners by supporting the last day of the (603) Challenge! 

CEPS is not only a place for adult learners, the Dinah Whipple STEAM Academy and Tech Camp offer STEM education to middle and high school aged kids. Today, all new donors who give to areas like Tech Camp and the STEAM Academy will get an equal portion of $75,000 added to their gift!

Kingsbury Hall’s newest facility, the CEPS Makerspace in just its second semester, already has over 600 (603??) projects worked on, and is averaging 80 people through the door everyday, including students from all five colleges, representing 22 majors. All this in just the first 6 months! Why? Because this sate-of-the-art workspace features 12 high-tech machines, from CNC mills to 3-D printers.

The Makerspace fosters innovation and creativity in a shared space accessible to all through informal and formal experiential learning opportunities. The center helps students, staff, and faculty refine their ideas creations and engage in collaborative and entrepreneurial projects. This cutting edge facility welcomes all UNH students (novice to experienced and freshman to graduate students) and provides access to a wide variety of equipment with a focus on the safe use of said equipment. The Makerspace engages students in a creative and collaborative center from the moment they arrive at UNH. We foster the entrepreneurial mindset and are a resource to connect CEPS students with others on campus to turn their ideas into creations.

There is no better time to support the Makerspace than the last day of the (603) Challenge! The Grand Finale Bonus is a pool of $75,000 that will be equally portioned out to all gifts made by donors new to the challenge. Today is your last chance to support areas like the CEPS Makerspace during the 10th anniversary of the (603) Challenge!

The Mathematics Center Gift Fund provides dedicated funding for a long-standing program committed to helping students enrolled in introductory and intermediate math courses. This includes drop-in tutoring and online support services, not only for CEPS but all UNH students. Increasing financial support will ensure the MaC can continue to welcome students free of charge.

While the MaC has been around for decades, it has never played a more central and vital role in propelling UNH students’ education forward. More students are looking to the MaC for support than ever before, and you can help them get it! When you give today, if your gift contains the numbers 6, 0, and 3, you will generate an extra $50 for the area you give to. Not only that, but CEPS Dean Cyndee Gruden is matching the first $3,000 donated to the MaC. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to earn both matching and bonus funds by giving to the MaC today!

The Electric Vehicle Organization is one of our many student orgs here in CEPS that work on impressive projects and inspire their peers to collaborate, innovate and create. You can see some of our other amazing student orgs on our CEPS Student Groups Leader Board below. Supporting any of these organizations allows you to directly impact the experience of our students outside the classroom.

College students aren’t the only STEM studiers here in CEPS. UNH Tech Camp uses gifts to fund participation for middle and high school kids attending summer camp at the college. In Tech Camp, these eager learners are inspired through collaborative, hands-on activities, bringing science, technology, engineering and mathematics to life.

In the past, donor support has helped make it possible for young STEM learners to attend the camp free of charge. Today, you can help Tech Camp reach their goal of 20 donors and unlock an additional $5,000 from the Center for Assessment!

The (603) Challenge is officially underway – and we’re kicking off voting in our annual ‘Dogs of CEPS’ competition. Here’s the deal: we’ve picked dog mascots across the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) and your gift to your favorite area (or dog) is your vote for #1.

The winning area will fetch $1,150 in additional funding from Julie Palais ’78, polar glaciologist, and author of Sathi: The Street Dog from Kathmandu, Nepal.

Keep an eye on your email for a fun bio of your department's dog (an special area challenge!) and cast your vote/gift now to take advantage of $350,000 of matching funds, matching up to $350 per donor until funds run out. Let’s do this CEPS!
