As Debby enters her final few weeks before retirement, we would like to take a moment to honor her 27 years of service to Campus Compact for NH and the New Hampshire College and University Council.
Since beginning her journey with Campus Compact for New Hampshire in 1997, and later becoming its Executive Director in 2004, Debby Scire has tirelessly promoted service, service learning, and civic engagement across campuses throughout New Hampshire. Debby will be missed for countless reasons: her exceptional leadership, the universal respect she garnered from state leaders, and her unwavering dedication to students and the institutions they attend.
For more than two decades, she has been a cornerstone of both regional and national Campus Compact networks, among and between multiple leadership roles and offering invaluable support. Her passion and commitment have left a lasting impact on higher education across the state.
In 2019, Debby took on the role of leading both the New Hampshire College & University Council (NHCUC) and Campus Compact for New Hampshire (CCNH). Despite the expansion of CCNH’s programming and staff during her tenure, she has managed her dual responsibilities with excellence and grace.
Within the NHCUC, Debby navigated through challenging legislative environments and provided crucial support to member institutions during the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19. Her steady hand guided these institutions through uncertain times, reinforcing her role as a true leader.
Throughout her career, Debby has embodied the qualities of a “common-sense visionary.” She is both a believer in the mission of higher education and a doer who has brought that vision to life. Her deep commitment to New Hampshire and its colleges has guided her leadership, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to serve the state and its institutions for years to come.
Debby’s contributions to CCNH, the NHCUC, and New Hampshire’s higher education community will not be easily replicated. Her work has set a high standard of service, one that will inspire future leaders to carry forward her mission of improving education for all.
Thank you, Debby, for your lasting impact and leadership.
