Jason Whitney

Associate Director

What is your background?

I knew early on that working with students was the right path for me. I had a few great mentors when I was an undergraduate, and their influence led me to my first jobs in higher education. Before starting at SNHU in 2015, I served as an internship coordinator and employer relations specialist for 10 years at UNH working directly with students and employers in the region.

Career lessons learned? 

It’s always been about working hard, treating people with kindness and respect, and networking. There are no shortcuts or substitutes for any of them if you want to achieve your goals.
