The Grace Hopper conference left the SNHU group inspired – one even walking away with a job offer. As STEM education offerings increase at SNHU, so too do the opportunities for women in the workforce. Said one student, “We are the future of technology.” 

Listen as four women from SNHU discuss challenges entering the STEM field, their own personal stories, and their experience of the Grace Hopper Conference.

The Art of the Possible: SNHU Women in STEM

Together, Southern New Hampshire University and the Boston Celtics are helping empower communities across New England. Learn more about the partnership at http://bit.ly/2HsBph9
 
Dave Hoffman, senior director of community engagement for the Celtics, chats with SNHU professor Doug Blais about doing work that matters – and shares his insights on what it takes to succeed in the sports industry.

A Brookline, Massachusetts, native, Hoffman has always been a Celtics super-fan – a self-professed “bleed greener.” But even he never could have imagined he’d be a major player for his favorite team in the league. 

Today, he and the Celtics are leveling the field for kids and families across New England. Notably, he helped spearhead the game-changing Playbook Initiative – a student-created document designed to raise awareness on daily discrimination and bias and teach the tools needed to safely intervene as an empowered bystander.

Calling upon his personal experiences, Hoffman explores how his unique skill set helped him land his dream gig, offers advice for up-and-comers looking to break into the sports industry and promotes volunteer work as a tool to help students forge their career path.

SNHU: The Power of Community Engagement

At Southern New Hampshire University, we offer online degree programs designed to transform the lives of students and those around them. 

In celebration of ANA’s National Nurses Week, we asked 4 of our nurse leaders at SNHU to join a roundtable discussion about the role nurses play in transforming healthcare.

Featuring Lisa Urban, associate chief nursing administrator; Margaret Moriarty-Litz, chief nursing administrator; and associate deans Stacey Rosenberg and Debra M.G. Murray, the discussion offers insights on everything from how nurses are portrayed in the media to the future of nursing education.

With the US Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting 15% growth in nursing jobs through 2026 – and the evolving role of technology in the way we give and receive care – nurse leaders are more sought after than ever. All it takes is a new generation willing to take the call.

“As a new nurse you probably have some reservations: am I qualified to do that next job, am I qualified to take that next step in education?” said Lisa Urban. “What I know about nurses now is we can do anything we set our minds to. Set some goals and just go for it. You have all the skills you need to be successful.”
