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.

Connor Chute '22 - 2024 SNHU Emerging Leader Award RecipientConnor in headshot in grey shirt with blonde hair

Connor Chute stands out as an esteemed leader, both professionally and within the SNHU community. During his time as a student, Connor was active in the Professional Sales Program where his mentors and coaches gave him the confidence needed to enter a career in sales. Since graduating, Connor has been an integral part of the program by volunteering his time coaching current students, and occasionally judging a few of the competitions he once competed in. Connor’s impact as a student and now as an alum shows what being an emerging leader is all about—sharing his knowledge and experiences to prepare the next generation.
