The purpose of the club is to promote awareness about animal welfare, animal-related issues, and to provide students with the opportunities to engage in animal-oriented volunteer opportunities within the Manchester, NH area.  Furthermore, the club will provide additional resources for students interested in learning about veterinary medicine by having opportunities to participate in activities and seminars from veterinarians. The club will facilitate volunteer activities and trips to local animal centers, shelters, and hospitals. The club is open to all students with the desire to learn about both small and large animals, and the human-animal relationship.

The purpose of this group is to provide the proper projection, perception, education components, and influence of the mis-and underrepresented communities on campus focusing on the BIPOC population. We will create a safe, comfortable, and inviting environment in which we engage in discussions concerning the challenges we may face with the intent and purpose of raising awareness and finding ways to overcome said challenges. We strongly encourage members–students and college employees– to speak freely and listen in a nonjudgmental way to the issues we encounter on a day-to-day basis. Off campus, we commit to organizing and hosting events that leave a positive impact in the Manchester community. Our focus is primarily on reaching out to young African American and mis-underrepresented children in the community.

The purpose of Respect the Nest is to educate the campus about the environment and to spread awareness about being sustainable and responsible, both with the environment on our own college campus and in the larger Manchester area. Respect the Nest specifically seeks to fulfill this mission by organizing clean-ups, events, awareness campaigns, and initiatives that promote protecting our environment. Respect the Nest is specifically referring to “respect of place” and honoring our own campus community, or our “Nest,” while also assisting the greater Manchester community with sustainability efforts.
