Over the summer of 2017, four UNH students from the
Global Student Success Program (GSSP), formerly
known as UNH Navitas Pathways Program, went back
to their home countries of China and India to share
their UNH experiences with prospective students. GSSP
developed the internships for students to build
outreach and presentation skills within a global
organization while supporting recruitment e orts with
current students who speak the local language. 
Students spent up to six weeks in their home
countries travelling to schools, universities and fairs
and meeting with parents to share their experience
as Wildcats with students and educational agents.  “I
really enjoyed travelling around China,” says Haotian
Guan, a native of Beijing, “ I met lots of new people
and was able to share my experiences about life at
UNH.” Pruthviraj Srinvasa, from Mysore also had a positive experience: “Helping answer student

questions about UNH came naturally to me, and the prospective students really appreciated it.” Ye
Dong, from Shanghai, valued the real life experience, "I learned how a business is structured and
how professional colleagues interact.” Yuting Hou, from Chengdu said “I really enjoyed sharing my
UNH experiences with students and parents. The internship really helped me improve my
communication and presentation skills.”
This was the inaugural year of the internship program
and something the GSSP is looking to continue.
Amanda Johnson, the Global Student Success
program's new executive director, was thrilled to hear
the positive student experiences and outcomes from
the internship program.  “Ideally we want more interns
to spread the positive experience they are having at
UNH, and our goal is to have eight interns placed across
five countries next summer.”
