November 2020

Welcome from guest blogger Bob Camire '02 '16G

This year has certainly presented its share of challenges in our community, our nation, and the world, but how we persevere and adapt to rapid change provides an invaluable life lesson for today’s SNHU students. The transition to virtual business and academic environments has become the new normal, which provides tremendous learning opportunities.

Volunteering with SNHU as an alumnus is a passion of mine; I view this as an opportunity to positively impact the future of our world. This fall, I volunteered to assist with Mock Interviews; the virtual format made participation easy. The event was well-received by students and of critical importance in their educational experience. Providing student feedback explaining proper eye contact methods and camera placement for a virtual interview helps them become better prepared to make that great first impression required of prospective employers.

I am impressed with how well students performed with this format, and I believe this will also work well with other Career Advisory Network efforts such as Resume Critiques and Elevator Pitch Competitions. It’s not surprising to me how quickly and easily students are adapting to this new environment, as technology and digital communication is such a large part of their lives and will only continue to expand.

I volunteer with SNHU to help grow and develop our future generation of professionals, regardless of their area of study. Our world deserves a well-prepared generation of learners, and volunteering for events with SNHU, regardless of the format, is critical to the future success of our world. I plan to continue to expand my involvement as a virtual volunteer with SNHU and look forward to the next opportunity to give back!

Thank you!
