UPThe campus has been humming this fall with the opening of the new academic building, construction on the new dining hall and the completion of numerous campus enhancements.
6 | The Extra Mile | Fall 2009 University Happenings
The new academic center, which opened in September, and the new dining hall, to open in the new year, continue in a dramatic fashion the development of the campus’ east side.
In keeping with the university’s commitment to sustainabil- ity, the new buildings were constructed using recycled materials and have a number of “green” features. (Search for “Going Green at SNHU” at snhu.edu to read more.)

The impact of our two new buildings is more than their sum total. In many ways, they “connect the dots and created a more unified sense of the campus. The sidewalks and lighting and curbside presence of the buildings in many ways claim North River Road as our own. People used to drive by campus. Now they drive through it. When they do, they have a sense of the breadth and scale of the campus that was much less apparent before. ” – Paul J. LeBlanc, President, SNHU

The Extra Mile | Fall 2009 | 13 Deputy to Dean School of Education welcomes Mary Sullivan Heath By Judy Ciesielski Timney, School of Education
When it comes to education in New Hampshire, Mary Sullivan Heath is a household name. Her career spans almost 40 years – from classroom teacher in Manchester, N.H., to deputy commissioner of education with an office in the state capitol at the New Hampshire Department of Education.
Heath became Southern New Hampshire University’s new School of Education dean July 15. She did this after retiring – twice.
A Short Retirement After retiring as assistant superintendent of School Administration Unit 19, consisting of Goffstown, New Boston and Dunbarton, in 2003, Heath continued looking for ways to provide resources for children. As a grant writer in Manchester she worked with educators on the 21st Century Community Learning Afterschool programs, with a focus on the arts; Comprehensive School Reform grants for two elementary schools; the New Teacher Induction program; a series of professional development sessions for teachers and principals; and a Smaller Learning Communities Grant for the high schools. In 2005, state Commissioner of Education Lyonel Tracy asked her to join his team as deputy commissioner and she couldn’t refuse. Here was another opportunity to Proud Mary provide resources and improve learning Educator Mary Heath has gone from for children in New Hampshire schools. the classroom to the capital.

One could easily say “paying it for- ward” is a Sullivan family tradition. “I had the most wonderful parents in the world. They would say, ‘we give to you, you give to yours,’” she said. “My parents believed their children need- ed to be educated and should never stop going to school; that no matter what, no one could ever take your education away.” Patty Lynott, SNHU vice president for Academic Affairs, praised Heath’s commitment. “Mary isn’t simply a hard-working public servant or deputy commissioner – now the dean position at dedicated community activist; Mary Heath is one of the SNHU feels the same way,” Heath said. most highly respected educators in the state of New Hampshire,” she said. “She is widely known to be New Connections utterly committed to the education of the children of Heath became dean of the School of Education in New Hampshire.

The wonderful thing about this particular book is that it’s I think it’s important for them to know that we value literacy, not just a book about a fictional occurrence, but it takes place communications skills, writing skills, and that we expect an in history and it has the subtext … about the importance of intellectual response from our students.
