Katelin knew she liked SNHU during a campus tour she took as a high school junior. She had done her homework and knew she wanted a small campus with a high professor-to-student ratio, and the tour (and her extremely enthusiastic tour guide) persuaded her SNHU was worth exploring further.

Once she arrived on campus, she quickly moved from observer to member to leader in many student groups. She became president of a newly-formed student/alumni group during her junior year and president of CAPE, the on-campus cultural programming board, in her senior year. As a CAPE leader she helped plan a spring break trip to Italy and is working on another one, perhaps to Greece.

Katelin worked closely with her professors to develop her academic interests and skills. She excelled as a psychology major, becoming a member of Psi Chi, the national psychology honors society, and Alpha Chi, the national liberal arts honors society.

Working with her professors and advisors, Katelin found a way to combine her commitment to service, academic achievements and profound concern for others into a career: She plans to pursue a doctorate in psychology and eventually become a therapist.

“If there’s anything in the whole school I love the most, it’s the people here,” she says.
