I chose to attend SNHU for the following reasons:
When receiving a college education, my primary objective was to gain more experience and meet new people. I believed college was a great way to further my education and prepare for the workforce. Not only has attending SNHU benefited my career development, but it also has helped my personal development. My experiences in college have helped me grow as a person, learn more about myself, and connect better with others.
The one thing that has surprised me while attending SNHU was the types of opportunities I would have. As previously stated, I knew college was a great place to try and experience new things. However, I could not imagine when and how those new opportunities would come to shape. Having the ability to capitalize on those opportunities when they appeared made my time at SNHU even more impactful.
The relationships with professors. As previously stated, all the professors I have had at SNHU really care about me, and fellow students' development. Knowing this and experiencing it first-hand has always motivated me to work hard and succeed.
During my initial college search, I was planning on entering the graphic design field. However, upon enrolling in SNHU, I noticed the opportunity in the university’s marketing program. I believed that selecting the marketing program would provide me a diverse skillset to companies in a variety of industries. It would also compliment my experience in Graphic Design giving me potential for more job opportunities. It was at this time that I also decided to enter the Degree in 3 Program for its educational and financial benefits as well as real-word experience.
Overall, my dream job moving forward would be to work in digital marketing/ analytics for a sports related organization. I come from a very heavy sports background. I was a three sport athlete in high school, and now I spend my free time coaching high school girls soccer at Spaulding High School. I would prefer a career that lets me combine my passion for marketing and sports.
Inside Marketing Department:
These two professors were great role models and provided expert guidance. Their passion for the subject material and care for students was always on display and made my college experience very enjoyable. They taught me the values of hard work, passion, dedication, confidence, and the importance of research.
Outside Marketing Department:
These two professors were also great role models for me during my time at SNHU. Their non-traditional teaching methods made the classroom and overall learning experience enjoyable. Both professors were very knowledgeable and passionate about their respective subject material. They taught me to be adventurous, to travel, to not be afraid of new experiences, and be willing to meet new people.
Being a commuter really limited my time for campus involvement

Some of the challenges I faced included:
The SNHU alumni have been a great resource. Connecting with them and sharing experiences is just as crucial to development as material learned in the classroom. Hearing it first-hand from a person who has been in your shoes makes the information feel more relatable. The insight the alumni provide is great guidance for future decisions.
The advice I would give to incoming students:
After graduation I plan on:
I am always happy to come back and help other students and provide experience. For some it is more meaningful to hear advice from a fellow Penmen.
