Column: Less talk, more action

Bret Belden May 17, 2017

On Friday, May 12, I received a message in the Hillel executive board group chat that was, to say the least, unsettling. It was a screenshot of a two-paragraph email from Hall Director Kaleigh Sosa explaining...

Three sides to the story

Bret Belden April 24, 2017

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people speak about an issue they are not educated on.  I have always believed that, until I knew all sides to every story, I would not form an opinion, because an...

Something to be proud of

Bret Belden April 22, 2017

As you can all probably imagine, I was not the most “normal” child in the world.  My go-to outfit in the sixth grade was knee-high socks, plaid bermuda shorts and a fedora, if that is any indication...

Do what you came here to do

Bret Belden April 10, 2017

As I sit and write this editorial, I feel extremely lucky that the newsroom has no windows.  If it did, I probably wouldn’t be here, but would instead be outside in the stunning, 70 degree weather,...

Bret Belden April 10, 2017

From the dancer: Former executive editor reflects on dance at UNH

Bret Belden April 9, 2017

The first story I ever published in The New Hampshire was about the Houston Ballet II performing in the Johnson Theatre. Since then, the Arts section has not been a place readers have seen my name. This...

Farewell column: Send it, bro

Bret Belden April 7, 2017
