NHTI Student Wins BIG at HUGEmanities Competition

CONCORD–NHTI student Skyler Boudreau has won the first place Change the World award in the New Hampshire Humanities Collaborative’s (NHHC) HUGEmanities contest for her work redesigning the website of The Eye, NHTI’s student journal, and serving as head editor of the publication’s most recent digital special edition. This award goes to a student or team from UNH or one of the seven New Hampshire community colleges for a persuasive and impactful project in the digital humanities.

The judges called Boudreau’s work a “beautifully executed and deep dive into types of censorship,” and added that “The Eye continues to thrive as a top quality venue that not only tackles big subjects but does so through a laudable integration of media types.”

Boudreau serves an editor and webmaster of The Eye and received the NHTI Academic Achievement Award in General Studies in April 2024.

Funded by a multi-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, NHHC is a close collaboration between the seven NH community colleges and UNH. NHHC’s overarching goal is to “enable students to pursue richer academic experiences and more rewarding professional and civic lives, empowering them to be effective participants in addressing the grand challenges of today and tomorrow.”
