Major: Outdoor Education
Graduation Year: 1999
When looking into college programs, I came across the Outdoor Education Program at UNH. After a few visits to Durham, and some time exploring other programs around the country, UNH stood out. The faculty and students, combined with the outdoor adventure possibilities in New England made UNH a clear choice. After four years of studying, hiking, camping, and more studying, I graduated from the OE program in May of 1999. The following fall, I interned at The UNH Browne Center, where I did logistics and program support for youth and adult programs. Over the next few years, that work turned into a part-time, and later, a full-time job. Currently, I still work for The UNH Browne Center as a Program Coordinator, managing our multi-day corporate programs.
Throughout my time in the OE program, I always felt part of a tight community of students and instructors. This factor enhanced my college experience because I always knew someone would be there to support and encourage me. Through my interactions with the OE students and faculty, it is clear that culture continues today.
