James W. Dean Jr. was installed as the 20th president of the University of New Hampshire in June 2018, and recently outlined his strategic priorities to guide the university's future. Before joining UNH, Dean served as executive vice chancellor and provost at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, where he was a professor of organizational behavior. In addition to his vision for the future of UNH, we focus on perennial issues concerning the UNH community, especially high tuition and lack of diversity.
