Welcome from Guest Blogger Ashlee Lindsey, Student Government Association President
Hello,
This summer has been flying by all too quickly, and it sure sets the pace for the upcoming transition to fall. There are many events, building openings, and people to be excited about! With so much in store, it is essential to mark your calendars with some important dates!
In the midst of new beginnings, we are celebrating why SNHU was established on September 12, 1932. This year's Founders Day events cherishes the historical upbringings of how dedicated professionals and inspired students have left their mark throughout these past 85 years. To follow, a way to commemorate your success is by attending Homecoming Weekend. As a student, I am overjoyed to see the pride of alumni who walk the grounds of campus again or for the first time. Every month, hundreds of SNHU students become alumni. Soon enough I will be added to the list. With that being unbelievable, I have found it riveting to hear the stories of how people have succeeded upon graduation, like August Volunteer Spotlight honoree Chris Cameron '99. Although everyone’s paths lead in various directions, your individual story can make a difference to others. It could inspire someone to achieve their masters. It could comfort someone who struggled to figure out what career goals they wanted. The possibilities are endless as to how you can continue to make an impact at SNHU. Be sure to take time to positively influence the lives of others with what you bring to the table!
I hope to see you at one of the following SNHU events soon!
Best,
Ashlee Lindsey, Class of 2018President, SNHU Student Government Association

Potential upcoming panel topics include economics and finance, writing, marketing, and graphic design. Please contact Sara Telfer if you're interested in being a career panelist.
Volunteer Spotlight
Meet our August honoree - Chris Cameron '99. For Chris, SNHU has become a bit of a family tradition. Chris is a member of the New Hampshire College Class of 1999, his father earned his MBA from SNHU through the Brunswick Center and his wife is currently pursuing her MBA online. Although they each had vastly different experiences (on-campus undergraduate, satellite continuing education, and online), they all feel they have benefited from being a part of the SNHU community. Read about Chris' volunteer experience, in his own words.
Employer in Residence Program
The Career & Professional Development Center is looking to expand their Employer in Residence program this year. You'll schedule a day to have drop in hours within the Career office to talk with students about your career experiences and offer support & guidance. Please contact Elizabeth Keaton, Employer Relations and Recruiting Coordinator, for more information.
We're Seeking @WorkingPenmen Twitter Takeover Hosts
Help SNHU students explore their post-grad career path by taking over the @WorkingPenmen Twitter account. Show students a day-in-the-life of you through a virtual job shadow. Twitter takeovers are a fun way to give back to SNHU and provide great visibility to your organization. Interested? Email Erin McGonagle for more information.
