This year marks the 25th anniversary of the UNH-IOL, and the recent celebrations have put many of our longer-term employees in a nostalgic frame of mind. I’ve only worked at the lab for a year, but in this short time I have formed my own warm feelings toward this organization. When I was first hired, as a sophomore majoring in Computer Science, I didn’t know about the seven core values of the UNH-IOL. I didn’t even really know what went on at the lab; I was simply happy to secure a year-round job where I would learn things that were relevant to my degree.
