Town Gown

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, September 21, 2005.

We'll look at the often complicated relationships between colleges and prep schools and the communities that play host to them. Each offers the other many benefits...and points of contention, be they financial, social, even political. Laura's guest is Blake Gumprecht, Assistant Geography Professor at University of New Hampshire, in Durham, who is writing a book on the American college town. We'll also hear from Tim Keefe, Plymouth State University Dean of Students and Head of the Campus Community Council; Congresswoman Mary Cooney, a Democrat from Plymouth; Julia Griffin, Hanover Town Manager and Jennifer Murray, Vice President for University Communications and Marketing at the University of New Hampshire.
