Young Alumni Winter Newsletter

Meet Guest Blogger Katie Dugan '20G

Happy New Year! There is so much to look forward to in 2024. Personally, I'm looking forward to concerts, planning my wedding with my fiance, and of course - staying involved with my alma mater! Last year, I had so much fun volunteering with SNHU for Global Days of Service, Virtual Mock Interviews, and Commencement. I led my first Global Days of Service project with a beach clean-up with the help of Blue Ocean Society. Together, my team and I collected more than 20 pounds of trash from Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. I had the honor of collecting the inspiring stories from our SNHU graduates during the spring and fall Commencement ceremonies. It truly filled my heart with joy to get to know some of the current students, graduates, and my fellow young alumni who make up our robust SNHU community. By leveling up my engagement in 2023, I gained many valuable relationships and experiences that have left an indelible impact on me. I'm excited for another year of making memories within the SNHU community. As you think about all that you're excited for in 2024, I hope you'll consider leveling up your involvement too, and I hope our paths cross along the way!
