My journey to a Bachelor’s Degree began in 1986 and I graduated June 2000. While working for the ESL Dept at UNH in Durham, I began the Master of Arts Liberal Studies (MALS) program. My focus in both undergraduate and graduate studies has been the art of storytelling – in both film and literature. A few years ago, I learned of a software package that enabled users to create DVDs using their own photographs and music. I have the great pleasure of teaching "Digital Storytelling" to the students of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Granite State College – passing on this creative and fun way of writing your story. Today, I am a Granite State College administrative assistant at the Concord Learning Center. It is my pleasure to return to GSC, in a minor way, by serving on the GSC Alumni Board.
Veronique Legendre graduated from Granite State College in June of 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management with an option in Finance and another in Human Resources. It was just the beginning of a long educational journey. The success she experienced with Granite State College gave her the confidence to venture towards higher aspirations. Two years later, she was graduating with a Master's in Education from Plymouth State University and a year later she graduated with a Certificate of Advance Graduate Studies in Educational Leadership and Curriculum Assessments. She is now enrolled at Argosy University to pursue a Doctorate degree in Educational Leadership in higher education.
Diane McClave is a Chicago native who arrived in New Hampshire by way of Connecticut. She graduated from the National Cathedral School and did her first two years of college at Iowa Wesleyan. Wanderlust seemed more fun but unfortunately all the classes at the Sorbonne were conducted in French so she spent the winter in Austria learning how to ski. She had worked in an advertising agency, so on returning home Diane worked as a copywriter for a Chicago department store. Marriage came next, the blessings of three daughters and the move to Jackson, NH. For five years Diane was on the editorial staff of THE REPORTER, the local weekly newspaper. She served as a Jackson selectman for 15 years. Diane is currently serving on the boards of the Mt. Washington Valley Economic Council, the Carroll County Health and Home Care agency and Service Link. Diane states: “The years spent working towards graduation from Granite State College were no doubt the most interesting and stimulating. I treasure the challenge of designing my course of study, the generous support of the teaching staff and the companionship of my fellow students.”

Gina Colaluca moved to Bartlett,NH in 2003 from RI. Her family has always loved the mountains and this particular area. After getting settled and a bit acclimated with the area the opportunity arose for her to be able to head back to school. She has always loved school and put it on hold while she raised her two children. It is challenging finding the balance of work, school and family but somehow it all gets done. She has a great support system at home with her husband and children. She received my Associates in General Studies in June 2009 and was honored to be picked as one of the student speakers. She received her Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a minor in Human Resources in 2010.
