Welcome from guest blogger Ally Snell '09G
With colder weather and shorter days, this time of year inspires me to turn inwards and give gratitude for all the experiences in my life that have brought me to where I am today. My career has led me through jobs in the government and private sector, at home and abroad, and now back to my alma mater, Southern New Hampshire University. Since graduating a decade ago, I can attest that the physical campus has changed in ways both subtle and overt; one cannot miss the ever-present construction of new buildings. More profound still, are the 100,000 learners enrolled in SNHU worldwide, and over 20,000 new graduates joining our alumni association this year.
One of the many reasons why I am a proud alumna of SNHU is that we give back: whether it’s through campaigns like Giving SNHUday, or serving as site leaders for our annual Global Days of Service in April, our global SNHU community embodies servant leadership like no other. Last year alone, over 1,350 Penmen served more than 6,100 hours at 112 sites for our month-long celebration of community service, and we hope to see even more this coming year.
The spirit of giving back continues well into the holiday season, with opportunities to volunteer both in New Hampshire, as well as in your own local area. We are always looking for ways to connect with the SNHU Community across the nation, so if you have any ideas, please share them with me directly at: a.snell1@snhu.edu.
Finally, I am grateful for all of you, who make up our vibrant, diverse, and passionate SNHU alumni community. Here’s to another year full of possibilities.

Giving SNHUday
This week, we celebrated Giving Tuesday (or as we like to call it Giving SNHUday). We honored those who help our students through scholarship support and the gift of their time. October was a great example. Out of the 51 alumni who volunteered their time, 24 did so for their first time. Keep up the great work!
