“I was the first person in my family to go to college. While I wasn’t a particularly strong student in high school, I found the environment at the then-New Hampshire College to be very nurturing and supportive. Today, I am proud to have three degrees from Southern New Hampshire University. Throughout my life, when I have faced challenges and adversity, I have made my way back here and excelled more than I could have expected when I needed to most. My decision to include SNHU in my will is to make sure students like me have the opportunity to be encouraged to achieve success too.”
