Corina enrolled at Great Bay in fall 2024, working closely with the admissions team to navigate the enrollment process. She committed fully to finishing her degree quickly, even taking summer classes to stay on track.
Along the way, Business Administration Department Chair and Associate Professor Lynda Bonneau made a lasting impression. "Professor Bonneau made the experience in accounting so interesting and so much fun. That is why I chose accounting as my major at UNH. Great Bay was an absolutely amazing experience."
From Great Bay to an internship to UNH. That is exactly the kind of path we love to see.
