SNHU in Your Community
Every year, volunteers lead dozens of DIY service projects across the country as part of SNHU's Global Days of Service. Locations ranged from Canada to Ohio to North Carolina, allowing SNHU community members to come together from all over to serve.
Online student Aleesa Fairley of Newark, Ohio, saw Global Days of Service as an opportunity to network with other Penmen in her area.
“I set a personal goal of making networking a priority, whether that be professionally or personally. When I saw that Ohio did not have any official projects on that map, I felt drawn to make that happen,” she said.
