UNH Honors College

The dreary weather outside couldn’t dim the brightness in the Huddleston Ballroom last night as we gathered together with our Honors College graduates, their families, faculty, advisors, and staff to toast all they’ve accomplished and their achievements yet to come.

We were graced with touching and inspiring toasts from President Chilton, Honors College Director Catherine Peebles, our 2026 Honors Alumni Award winner Joe Pace, and Honors Assistant Director Andrew Ferris.

Three impressively talented students from the Music Department, Joshua Keen, Luke Duquette, and Adam Cooper comprised a jazz trio who graced us with beautiful music as the grads received their graduation stoles and cords and read letters they had written to themselves as they began their UNH journeys.

We are all so proud of you, our graduates of the Hamel Honors and Scholars College. Go out there and show the world what you’ve shown us!

It’s also a fascinating and deeply applicable investigation into how we make decisions in life—balancing risk, the desire for safety, and potential reward.
