Shortly after the COVID-19 outbreak struck in the spring of 2020, Jan Dean found herself staring at a dining room table covered in a sea of tiny puzzle pieces. That table had been at the center of so much of UNH’s history. It’s where university leaders huddled on the morning of 9/11, where governors and senators—and even Meryl Streep—have dined during formal gatherings, and recently, it was where the 17 members of the UNH COVID Task Force met to celebrate successfully navigating the university through the pandemic.
 
The history of this dining room table and the house it’s inside of intrigued UNH First Lady Jan Dean when she and unhprez first arrived. Her curiosity ultimately turned into her new book: “On the Corners of Garrison & Main: Inside the University of New Hampshire’s Home.”
 
Now available on Amazon, the book shares the stories of dozens of lead characters, all of whom had previously been relegated to bit roles in the university’s history. Dean sought to tell the story of the house and its evolution over the years, as well as the stories of the families and first men and women who have lived in the residence.
 
Dean’s decision to self-publish through Amazon and donate all of the proceeds from the sale of the book back to UNH is a testament to the university. By purchasing the book, you not only get a fascinating read but also contribute to the betterment of UNH. Learn more about Dean’s new book at the link in stories.
