Biology Program Pays Off for Graduate

The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences' Optometry program is challenging. And that's only if one manages to be one of 55 students admitted to the program each year. UNH Manchester 2014 graduate Stephanie McQuaid is one of them and is confident she is up to the challenge.

"When I got my acceptance letter, needless to say I breathed a sigh of relief," McQuaid says. "And I immediately went and told all of my UNH Manchester professors. They were all like 'Didn't we tell you that you could do it!' It was a pretty amazing experience."

Student Ambassador Pursues Career in HR

When Caroline Consoli started at UNH Manchester, she assumed it would be a transitional school, to get her major courses done before transferring. She had followed in her brother’s path, who is a year ahead of her, after touring the school while he was on his college search. What Caroline didn’t expect was to fall in love with the community at UNH Manchester, one that she has completely immersed herself in. She declared a major her freshman year, still unsure, and found in an introductory course that it was truly her calling.
