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.

Kudos to the Great Bay Student Nurses Association (GBSNA) for their continued commitment to supporting new and expecting caregivers in our community 💗

This fall, GBSNA proudly sponsored and volunteered at the Granite United Way Community Baby Shower held at Dover Middle School. Student nurses Devon Doran and Kaeli Rumore were among those who helped support families by distributing supplies and connecting caregivers with vital resources.

Building on that momentum, GBSNA is hosting another Community Baby Shower right here at Great Bay.

Community Baby Shower Details:
📅 Friday, February 6
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Great Bay Community College
320 Corporate Drive, Room SW113
Portsmouth, NH 03801

This drop-in event is open to expecting mothers and their support systems. Attendees can pick up baby goodie bags with essentials like blankets, diapers, baby clothes, and more, and connect with local resources, including Seacoast Public Health Network and Exeter Pediatric Dentistry.

💗 Hosted by the Great Bay Student Nurses Association

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