SNHU Alumni Awards

The Southern New Hampshire University Alumni Association and the Office of Institutional Advancement are proud to honor some of our most outstanding community members each year within three categories of prestigious SNHU Alumni Awards: the Alumni Hall of Fame Award, the Distinguished Alumni Service Award and the Emerging Leader Award (formerly Young Alumni Award). 

SNHU Alumni Hall of Fame Award

This award was created in 1991 to recognize an individual who graduated 10 or more years ago, and has made outstanding contributions to their profession, community and the university. Meet our 2024 honoree, Sampath Deva ’95G.

SNHU Distinguished Alumni Service Awards

There are two Distinguished Service Awards: the Distinguished Alumni Service Award and the Distinguished Service to Alumni Award. The Distinguished Alumni Service Award honors an individual who graduated six or more years ago. The Distinguished Service to Alumni Award honors a faculty or staff member or friend of Southern New Hampshire University. Both awards recognize the individual's leadership, dedication and loyal service to the university and the alumni community. Meet our 2024 honorees, Dr. Amanda Dolan ’13MEd ’20EdD and Becca Harris ’13. 

SNHU Emerging Leader Award (formerly Young Alumni Award)

Established in 2000, this award recognizes alumni who graduated not more than five years ago and have demonstrated leadership and support to the Alumni Association and to the university. Meet our 2024 honoree, Connor Chute '22.
