Welcome to the SIGNAL website at the University of New Hampshire

SIGNAL's Mission Statment: Our vision is to light the road to success for our business students through connecting them with real world business leaders and devoloping their growth, networking and leadership skills in order to create a more attainable future.

"Where the business leaders of tomorrow meet the business leaders of today."

SIGNAL was formed in the Fall of 2003 by a group of ambitious students. It's members varied in age, but had a common goal; to improve their personal growth, networking and leadership skills in both life and in the business world. Having sufficient networking and leadership skills will enable its members to successfully bridge the gap between education and the business community.

SIGNAL is a student organization that primiarly focuses both personal and organizational growth, networking and leadership. Through listening and talking to UNH, WSBE Alumni SIGNAL members will learn about the personal growth and evolution of organizational leaders. We are interested in their specific career paths, life stories, and the skills and techiques they acquired along the way, therefore we can learn from their experiences.

SIGNAL members are constantly working on their leadership and networking skills, in and outside of class. SIGNAL promotes extroverted members and seeks members who wish to become more friendly, out-going, and happy people, who desire success in the business community. The members of SIGNAL wish to actively build relationships with regional businesses and with other business schools, in order to promote the image of UNH, WSBE and SIGNAL in the surrounding area.

SIGNAL recognizes the importance of a strong personal network. Many people learn through other peoples actions, events and stories. Building a strong personal network will not only help us as individuals to find jobs as well as devolop our careers, but it will also aid future WSBE and SIGNAL alumni obtain a secure job. SIGNAL also actively encourages its members to find positions of leadership and authority within campus organizations. These leadership positions may be in various forms; honor societies, sports teams, Greek Organizations, or any other extra-curricular organization.

We envision SIGNAL as a gateway to the "real-world." SIGNAL's creed is based upon both personal and organizational growth, networking and leadership, therefore we promote those characteristics at every moment everyday. Many students today have a difficult time successfully making the transition between work and school. SIGNAL will help aid its members in this transition.

SIGNAL was also formed because WSBE was lacking an extra-curricular club that focused on the most important aspect of being a manager - essentially stuff that focuses on leading a group of people.
