If I could identify one thing that made a difference, it would be Great Bay. I talk all the time about how much Great Bay changed my life and gave me a huge foundation. I am incredibly grateful for my time there.

Hot soup at Gather Café on a cold day 🥣❄️

There’s nothing better than seeing the Gather Café filled with students, faculty, and staff warming up, catching up, and enjoying a well-earned lunch break. Great food, great company, and a great reminder of how spaces like this bring our campus together.

Snowy scenes outside, a fresh start ahead. ❄️

After the storm, our campus is cleared, safe, and ready for a new week as the semester continues. Huge thanks to our Facilities team for their hard work behind the scenes, early mornings, long hours, and real dedication to keeping Great Bay moving forward for our students, faculty, and staff.

We’re grateful for all you do to keep our community running, no matter the weather.

I believe that through studying for my English degree, I have become a more open-minded, sympathetic and empathetic person.
