Dear Wildcats,

Count ourselves lucky that New England is in another Super Bowl.ÌýMost other areas of the country are envious.ÌýFor all Patriots fans at UNHÌý— and those of you who are Eagles fansÌý— Sunday night’s game promises to be a tough match-up of two strong teams.ÌýWe hope that you all enjoy the game and, win or lose, you celebrate responsibly.ÌýThis is your university and your town.ÌýThe nation’s eyes will be on New England.ÌýAs one of the region’s leading universities, we have a chance to demonstrate our character and our judgment.Ìý

"Take care of your campus and your town, and take care of each other."

Have a great time Sunday night, but celebrate safely. Choices have consequences and neither one of us can insulate any of you from the consequences of bad choices.ÌýSometimes those consequences can threaten everything. During last year’s Super Bowl celebration, 15 UNH students ended up with their individual pictures on the front page of newspapers and on television screens.ÌýDon’t allow yourself to be in a similar situation this Sunday night. Watch the game, have funÌýand be safe. There will be police cameras in use for your safety.ÌýBe mindful of your choices. Be safe, take care of your campus and your town, and take care of each other.

And whatever the outcome, please participate in the UNH Blood Drive in the Granite State Room in the MUB next week.ÌýThe Red Cross reports that reserves are low across the nation due to the clustering of sizable natural disasters in parts of the country over the past year.ÌýWildcats serve, and Wildcats give all that they can.ÌýThe Red Cross is coming to our campus next week because they know Wildcat generosity runs deep.ÌýHere’s your charge: Fill those reserves.ÌýThe nation needs you.

We’ll see you Sunday after the game.Ìý

With best wishes,
Ìý
