SNHU Distinguished Alumni Service Awards

There are two Distinguished Service Awards: the Distinguished Alumni Service Award and the Distinguished Service to Alumni Award. The Distinguished Alumni Service Award honors an individual who graduated six or more years ago. The Distinguished Service to Alumni Award honors a faculty or staff member or friend of Southern New Hampshire University. Both awards recognize the individual's leadership, dedication and loyal service to the university and the alumni community.

Becca Harris '13 - 2024 SNHU Distinguished Alumni Service Award Recipient 

Becca Harris is an inspiring individual who has changed the lives of so many through her passion for service. While at SNHU, Becca fell in love with all things service, starting a work-study job in The Chandler Center and service-learning classes. Throughout her undergraduate experience, Becca held every student worker role possible, including service-learning coordinator, volunteer project coordinator, and Alternative Break leader. Now as an alum, Becca has turned her passion into a full-time job. Over the past 11 years, Becca has worked at nonprofit organizations with areas of focus ranging from grief, Down syndrome, and substance abuse disorder. When she isn’t working, she remains an active volunteer in her community, and she became the youngest woman to ever become president of her Rotary Club. The SNHU community has experienced her dedication to service firsthand through her involvement with Global Days of Service, at The Chandler Center, and as a classroom speaker. Becca’s generosity and investment in her community is nothing short of inspiring.
