Courtney Perron

Courtney is the Director of the SNHU Center for New Americans which serves immigrant and refugee youth and families. Since the pandemic reached Manchester, Courtney and her staff have been delivering food, household supplies, financial assistance, and other resources to the families served at the Center each week. This has included translating important documents about COVID-19 protocols, remote school procedures, technology requirements, and ensuring that all families understand how to keep themselves safe and their kids engaged in school. Over the past few weeks this has turned into sharing trusted, translated information on the COVID-19 vaccine in making sure that families can have their questions answered and know how to access the vaccinations when eligible. Courtney has supported some of our community’s most in-need residents, while also providing leadership to her team and supporting her family at home. She has been a graceful, empathetic leader, and she is certainly deserving of greater recognition from the community.
