Granite State College Changed My Life

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 by Granite State College Stories
I was a police officer in Dover, NH when I decided to go back to school for my degree, and I chose GSC and never regretted that decision. The instructors were all working professionals who brought the real world into the classroom, which is the ultimate goal for any educational experience. I got my Bachelor's Degree in Management in 1989 and immediately applied to the University of New Hampshire's graduate school, completing my Master's Degree in Public Administration in 1993. The tools and learning experiences I had at GSC held me in good stead in my master's program, and I look back now on my time at GSC as a dynamic transitional period in my professional and personal life. I later transferred to the Portsmouth Police Department and had a wonderful career there, recently retiring as deputy chief of police. I have recommended GSC to individuals seeking to further their education and I shall continue to do so. It was a great experience for me.

My Summer Term

Monday, July 12, 2010 by Granite State College Stories
This is my first year back to school so I was extremely nervous about how difficult my classes were going to be for me and how I was going to pull off being a mom, an employee AND a student. But to my utter surprise and pleasure the faculty has been "mucho" patient and helpful with me, the classes have been engaging and the teachers wonderful!!! What a wonderful start Granite State has given me on the way to my greatest desire, a career! I couldn't do it without all of the great people at the Claremont branch, I just love all of you. Thanks again Granite State College for a truly rewarding first experience.
