Welcome to our Alumni Community
Whether you were among the first graduating class in 1974 or proudly received your degree at Commencement last June, you know how life-changing it can be to pursue your education while balancing the responsibilities of work and family.
Our purpose? To empower other adults toward that same achievement. Let’s work together to make it happen. Network with contacts in your industry, enjoy exclusive invitations and opportunities to stay involved or help play a crucial role in the future of many adult students.
Celebrating Over 45 Years
Honoring our rich history and celebrating our bright future!
Since 1972, we have helped make a difference in the lives of thousands of adult students in New Hampshire and beyond. Through our valued relationships in the communities in which we serve—Concord, Conway, Manchester, Claremont, Rochester, and more—we have extended our reach to our valued business and community partners.
During the culmination of this milestone year, we will celebrate the people and partners who have contributed towards our institution.

Alumni Advisor Network
As proud Granite State alums, we know that it takes courage to return to college as an adult. We, too, had to balance college courses with full lives.
Honestly, there are some days when we look back and ask ourselves,
How did I manage it all?
How did I stay motivated?
How did I get through that class?
But, ultimately, we can see that the decision to return to college brought us one step closer to achieving personal, career, and life goals.
The Alumni Advisor Network is our opportunity to connect and encourage future graduates like you.
We hope you’ll consider Granite State College and know that you have our support!
