WHATS INSIDE

Constanza Valds: Inspirational Role ModelJune 2, 2006 was the day my life changedforever, said UNH Graduate StudentConstanza Valds. I remember standingin front of the immigration officer

understanding very little of what hesaid. In six short years, Valds has animpressive set of academic and professionalaccomplishments in the United States.She graduated summa cum laude with aB.A. in Spanish from UNH Durham, wasrecently recognized for translating UNHProfessor Janet Golds book, La montaaPlateada (Silver Mountain), about anhistoric mining village in Honduras, andis about to finish her Master of Arts inTeaching with certification in Spanish andEnglish to Speakers of Other Languages(ESOL). A critical part of her journey was

through Manchester and the supportiveencouragement she received from some keymembers of the colleges community.

When I first came to America from

Colombia, I took adult English courses atthe Manchester School of Technology Inthe summer I attended UNH ManchestersESOL Summer program, took morecourses at Manchester CommunityCollege before finally matriculating asan undergraduate at UNH ManchesterEveryone was so encouraging.

Now, Valds will have an opportunity tobe an inspirational advocate for studentswho need it most. She is completing herone-year internship having spent the fallsemester teaching Spanish at Souhegan

High School and the spring teaching ESOLat Central High School in Manchester. Ihave really enjoyed the year, she said. I

Recycle Your Old Computers into Someones New Opportunity

Computer Technology Assistance Corps (CTAC) is coming together with Small DogElectronics in an effort to bring affordable computers to lower-income families andindividuals. The drive, coordinated by UNH Manchester students, will take place inGoffstown on Saturday, May 5 from 10 am to 4 pm and all are encouraged to support thiseffort to bring technology to those in need.

The event, Hot Dogs for High Tech, invites people from all over New Hampshire to cometo the CTAC facilities in Goffstown with their old computer monitors, laptops, keyboards,etc. and donate them to be refurbished and updated for new homes. Hotdogs and other

refreshments will be given out to each donor to celebrate the fresh opportunities createdwith this springtime event.

Steven Bothwick, Chair, Board of Directors, expressed his excitement about the donationdrive. Im very passionate about this event for CTAC. Our organization is working towarda community where access to computer technology is available to everyone, regardlessof means. Some of our clients enter CTAC without ever using a computer or surfing theInternet before, and this puts them at a disadvantage in todays society.

CTACs aim is to take a retired computer and make it new again and to give it to someonewho really needs it. The company welcomes donations of technology that they in turnupdate or use for parts to repair other computers. The computers are sold at an affordableprice at the CTAC retail store, and computer classes are held in the CTAC classrooms. Asa Microsoft-registered refurbisher, CTAC uses secured system clearing software to scrub

computer hard drives so all donated computers will have no personal information on them

Computer based learning services, in addition to refurbishing donated computers, allowsour neighbors in NH, young, old and in between, to leave with smiles on their faces- whichconfirms that we, together as a community, are making a difference in their lives. And thatswhat its really all about, Bothwick said.

To be a part of the CTAC and Small Dog Electronics computer drive, come to the Hot Dogsfor High Tech cookout on Saturday, May 5 from 10-4 pm at the CTAC offices on 711 S MastRd, Goffstown, NH 03102. As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, CTAC will provide receiptsto all donors that can be used to claim a tax deduction.

Chris Hegg

Written by Allison Pelletier, English major

love the diversity of the cultures of mystudents and find it interesting to learnabout their different backgrounds. Itsfun to hear stories from the cultures andcountries.

Chances are the students at Central enjoylearning from Valds as well. An on-goingissue in our urban schools is the lackof linguistic and cultural diversity andexpertise among educational professionals.The K-12 population has becomeincreasingly diverse but the professionalsserving these children and families havenot. Having an outstanding, bilingualLatina teacher and role model such asValds could make a positive difference forthe growing number of immigrant/refugeestudents in our schools and communities.When students see accomplished teachers

whose stories and experiences are similar totheir own, they often see new possibilitiesfor their own career trajectories.

Valds will be presenting her graduateresearch on developing learner autonomyalong with twenty other UNH Manchesterinterns at the Communities of InquiryConference on May 12, 2012 at UNHManchester.

When Chris Hegg graduated from UNHManchester in 2004, his career path lookedmuch different than it does now. Originallya business major, Chris had plans to open achain of restaurants, and his experiences asa restaurant manager fueled this dream.

However, working in this field alsopushed Chris in a different direction. Herealized the things he enjoyed most aboutworking in the restaurant business werethe connections he made with employeesand forming relationships by listening andgiving guidance.

Of his time spent at UNH Manchester,Chris recalls, I learned as much from myclassmates as I did from my professors.His ability to communicate with others hashelped in many stages of his education.Chriss passion for helping others pushedhim to change careers, and he returnedto UNH Manchester to gain supportand advice from former professors. The

encouragement Chris received garneredhis sincere appreciation, and thismanifests in his involvement aroundschool.

Upon returning to UNH Manchester, Chrisspent time volunteering, which led to a staff

position in the First Year Service Office. Heassists with activities like First Year ServiceDay, in which he plays a crucial role helpingnew students volunteer in the community.This allows both Chris and the students togain positive experiences in communityoutreach.

Chris recently accepted a GraduateAssistantship in Career Marketing andOutreach at Appalachian State University.While working toward his masters degreein College Student Development, Chris willcontinue to guide students as they pursuetheir education. His concentration inCollege Outdoor Program Administrationreflects his love for nature.

There is an obvious explanation for his

work with students: His motivation isseeing others succeed. There is no doubthe will continue to see this as his careerunfolds.

Business Students Work with Manchester Chamber o Commerce

Written by Sarina Johnston, history major

UNH Manchester business students havebeen busy working with the ManchesterChamber of Commerce on severalcommunity based projects this spring.Will Stewart, vice-president of economic

development and advocacy for theChamber, is working with students in boththe Economics for Managers class (ECN650) and the group Students for a FreeEnterprise (SIFE). SIFE is an international,non-profit organization comprised ofstudent teams who complete communitybased projects using business applications.The colleges SIFE team works with localorganizations in areas such as research,events, marketing, and fundraising.

What does it take to open a business inManchester? How can we increase the

number of new businesses opening inManchester? These questions, posed bythe Chamber, were the focus of the SIFEteam research. They reviewed the entireprocess of opening a business in the cityof Manchester and then compared thatprocedure to those of other similar sizedNew England cities. According to SIFEpresident Kristen Tejada, the group was ableto identify areas where Manchesters process

could be more efficient and effective. Theteam created an implementation plan basedon their findings which included developinga step by step guide to help prospectivebusiness owners navigate the process, and

the formation of a committee to supportprospective business owners. Both SIFEand the Chamber hope to continue workingtogether to accomplish these goals.

At the same time, Professor Tom BirchsEconomics for Managers class has beenanalyzing and evaluating the currentand future status of both the bus transitsystem and bicycle transportation inManchester. Working with Will Stewartand Mike Whitten, the executive directorof the Manchester Transit Authority,students are examining the present usage

and costs of these types of transport, waysof encouraging and increasing bus andbicycle use around town, and consideringthe potential economic impact of thesechanges. According to student Ryan Pitts,Mike has been extremely enthusiastic andhelpful in providing information. Boththe students and their community partnersare hopeful this project will lead to someactionable ideas.
