More than 1000 students graduated during 1997 which means we now have almost 31,000 members in our Alumni Association. The association welcomes these newest members and stands ready to offer assistance in a variety of ways. Students Lending a Hand by Michelle Lamontagne New Hampshire College students have many opportunities to participate in community service activities. Organizations such as the fraternities and sororities, the student Ambassadors, and the New Hampshire College Partnership mentor program all encourage students to go out into the community to lend a helping hand. The lessons which students learn by participating in service-oriented activities can be carried with them throughout their professional lives.
Students can attest to the value of community service as well.
It made me so happy to see what little I had to give to make others so happy. It made me feel like I had accomplished something when I saw how appreciative the family was toward us. Students who are willing to lend a hand, like Jamie and Keith can be found all over the New Hampshire College campus. Having students like these is a tribute to our institution and also to our community.
