SNHU Emerging Leader Award (formerly Young Alumni Award)

Established in 2000, this award recognizes alumni who graduated not more than five years ago and have demonstrated leadership and support to the Alumni Association and Southern New Hampshire University.

Vishwal Shah '18G - 2022 SNHU Emerging Leader Award Recipient Man holding plaque while smiling on a fall day

Vishwal has been dedicated to helping the SNHU community from the time he first enrolled at SNHU. It is in his nature to help people in any way he can, and that's why he has always loved to volunteer for various projects with the Active Citizens Network and Global Days of Service. He is extremely passionate about sharing his experience and what he has learned from his unique perspective transitioning from being an international student from India to a working professional in the US. He takes every chance to help and build the confidence of current students by sharing his knowledge through career service events such as panel discussions, resume building and mock interviews. Thank you Vishwal, for your contributions!

His nominator says, “Stephen stands out and is a shining light for SNHU." Thank you Stephen, for your contributions!
