| Intro Network NH Return to index of stories... |
There are signs that the U-S economy is on the rebound. But what about New Hampshire? What shape are we in? Recently, we talked to a CEO, a business attorney and a professor with the UNH Whittemore School of Business and Economics for their perspectives. All are members of Network NH - a think-tank focused on technology and the NH economy. We began by asking Professor Ross Gittell how our region has weathered tough economic times compared to the rest of the country. |

| Notre Dame Closes Return to index of stories... |
Notre Dame College holds last graduation before shutting its doors MANCHESTER, N.H. — The words of the commencement speaker at Notre Dame College held a special meaning like perhaps no other during a weekend of graduations in New Hampshire. "As long as you are alive living the values of the college, the light of Notre Dame will live on," Sister Liette Finnerty told the more than 405 graduates Saturday. It will not live on in its classrooms. The Catholic liberal arts college is closing after 52 years because of financial problems. "The bottom line is, this place will live on. Its spirit will live on," said Sister Lucille Cantin, who has taught at the college since 1979. Since the Sisters of the Holy Cross started the school in 1952 in a residential area in the North End of the state’s largest city, it has become part of the community. "Its a wonderful thing that they had this place to come to," said David Boucher of Manchester, who has seen many of the graduation ceremonies through the years. "Its also a great loss to the city and state because a lot of good people have come out of here." Standing not far away from Boucher was last years college class president, Shyrelyn Keddy of East Kingston. She said she had thought the college always would be there for her. "When you leave a place you love, you always think you can go back to it, and its hard knowing its not going to be here in the future," she said. All they will have is memories and friendships, helped by the Notre Dame College Alumni Association, which announced Friday it will continue as an incorporated organization. In her address, class president Tina Marie Rachel talked about the emotional times students have had this year after they learned their school would be closing. "Youve all been through a lot this year and its going to make you stronger," she said. The school was founded to educate the daughters of mill workers in Manchester, and in the 1980s, it began accepting men. Besides its religious training, it earned a reputation as a training ground for teachers. But in November, the school said increasing competition for students had dropped enrollment from 1,350 in 1993 to 820, and the school’s endowment had fallen to only $2 million. It said the resulting financial difficulties were forcing it to close. Students and faculty began scrambling to find other schools, other jobs. More than 70 institutions have accepted Notre Dame students, college spokesman Patrick Duffy said. Some have hired faculty and absorbed entire academic programs. However, some students still are looking. Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester accepted 83 of 105 students who applied, and hired six education professors. At least 20 students in the physical therapy program will attend Franklin Pierce College’s Concord campus, and the school hired nine professors to teach the subject. Nine Notre Dame professors will move to the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. Regis College in Weston, Mass., is taking over the theology program, and the University of New Hampshire’s Manchester campus will absorb the school’s counseling program. Father Anthony DeConciliis, Notre Dame’s president since July 2000, has been hired as provost at a private college in Southern California. In other graduations, Keene State College conferred about 600 degrees on Sunday. On Saturday, Plymouth State College presented 178 degrees and Rivier College in Nashua handed out more than 500 degrees at its 67th commencement. Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, formerly New Hampshire College, celebrated its 70th commencement and first as a university by conferring 971 degrees. |
