PRESS RELEASEStopping the Brain Drain: Learn What's Being Done to Retain Young Professionals in New HampshireNovember 26, 2007 - New England is witnessing an alarming decrease in the number of 25-34 year-olds living in this area; New England was put in the bottom 10 states in population change according to the U.S. Census American Community Survey. What does this mean? With the changing demographics, New Hampshire's economic future could be affected. Young adults not only bring dynamic personalities to the workplace, but they also contribute to the growing regions. They make these regions vibrant and an interesting place to live, contributing to cultural, intellectual and social life. In addition, young families support local schools and demand a strong educational system. Join Catapult on December 6, as we host Professor Ross Gittell from UNH's Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and Matt Cookson, Vice Chancellor of the University System of New Hampshire to discuss the recent decline. They will also touch base about the University System of New Hampshire's 55% Initiative, which is an effort to retain more young professionals in the state. Following their presentation will include an open discussion. This event will be held on Thursday, December 6, at UNH's Holloway Commons, MUB. Registration will begin at 5:30pm; the actual presentation starts at 6pm and will run until 8pm. Admission is free! This event is sponsored by the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire, Graduate and Executive Programs. About catapult |
