Ever since the music world has shifted into a hyper-online state, true artistic icons, the kind who exude near-mysticism, have become rare. Today, anybody can make music, so long as they have access to the internet and a device to record on. We’re perpetually on the cusp of the next breakout star, just as likely to be a highly polished “industry baby” as a DIY GarageBand-user recording vocals through a cup and string. The constant flood of new releases makes it harder than ever for a single artist to rise above the rest in the sanctifying fashion of Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, or even underground figures like Phil Elverum.
University of New Hampshire’s (UNH) administration and faculty from around the state gathered on Oct. 7 in the MUB’s Granite State Room to hear President Elizabeth Chilton discuss UNH’s next five-year strategic plan.

The ongoing government shutdown leaves UNH faculty, programs, and students with an uncertain road ahead in terms of federal funding for the university. On Oct. 1, 2025, the federal government experienced a shutdown due to Congress's inability to agree on a federal budget for Fiscal Year 2026. The funding bill stalled after the Senate was unable to reach an agreement. Democrats in the Senate demanded the extension of healthcare subsidies under the Affordable Care Act and the reversal of President Donald Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Republicans in the Senate have refused to accept these conditions and Democrats have refused to backdown, resulting in a shutdown that has continued for over two weeks with no projected end in sight. As a result, UNH’s federal funding may be impacted, which could delay specific services and research projects throughout the university.

The event will feature a candlelight vigil and an open mic opportunity for those impacted by IPV to share their stories. UNH catering will provide complimentary hot chocolate and apple cider to event attendees.

Hello, fellow Wildcats and Granite Staters! My name is Sydney, a UNH student who loves hiking, exploring, and finding little outdoor escapes as much as I can.
