Not Stopping

Dr Joe Lugalla, long-tiime Professor in Anthropology, is retiring

You'd think that Joe Lugalla might want to just relax. He has worked for more than 40 years as an educator and researcher, the last 22 of which were spent as an anthropology professor at UNH. He's retiring this year. Perhaps, now, a daily mid-morning cup of chai is in order, followed by a stroll down the streets of Durham or Njombe-Iringa in his native Tanzania. But that's not what retirement will look like for Lugalla. In fact, he has already hit the ground running on a new career path.
