Cathy Champagne

Cathy Champagne started her academic career as a traditional day student, then transferred to Southern New Hampshire University's Continuing Education program. She chose SNHU not only because of its strong business curriculum, but also for the format in which those Continuing Education courses were delivered. "The nights and weekend program suited my need to do a little more with my life at the time. I enjoyed being a student. I was 20 years old and really felt it was time to do a little more in my life," she says. "I started work full time and I took classes nights and weekends, and that I did year-round. I didn't want to lose my momentum ... and the university encourages that."

Champagne received her B.S. in business administration in 1988.

Today, she is a proud and active alumna of Southern New Hampshire University. "The changes here are just fantastic, and I get excited every time I drive onto the campus, because there are so many new and exciting things going on," she says.
