UNH Today

It’s a Multimedia World

The onset of the digital age has transformed the world of journalism, bringing with it a 24/7 news cycle, myriad ways to tell a story and the challenge of capturing people’s attention in a highly competitive media and information landscape.

As UNH’s journalism program prepares students to enter a profession that one New York Times reporter describes as “burning so bright and so hot right now,” key donors are ensuring those students have the tools they need — from technology and equipment to real-world experience — to become the next generation of truth-tellers.

A CEPS Mainstay

Sherry and Bob Phillips’ time together as a couple — 46 years total, 40 of those married — only slightly exceeds the number of years they’ve been connected to their beloved Â鶹app. The two met after signing on to work for a summer at the same country store near Bob’s family’s vacation home in Ossipee, New Hampshire. Bob ’76 would head to UNH that fall, while Sherry headed back for her sophomore year at Plymouth. Their lives have been intertwined with each other, and with UNH, ever since.

They met as students in Paul College'sĚýAtkins Investment Group, became fast friends, graduated to careers in high finance and, in September of 2018, reunited to form NOCA, which stands for “no carbonation,” the name of their three-man outfit as well as the trio of fruit flavored spiked still water they produce.
