Frank is a special investigator who has developed programs to prevent violence within New Hampshire and works on state and county boards associated with children and safety. She has been honored as a “Hero for Justice” by the Manchester YWCA; received a Hometown Hero award and the Beverly B. Seavey Community Service Award; and been commended with a citation for bravery by the Governor of New Hampshire. Most recently, she was named to the New Hampshire Union Leader’s “Forty Under 40” list as one of the young professionals shaping the future of the Granite State. She has developed presentations for schools across New Hampshire, warning about the dangers of social networking Web sites and offering guidelines young people can follow for a safer Internet presence.

Frank, a former high school social studies teacher, said her position at PSU allows her to meet her personal goals.“I love working here. I look forward to coming to Plymouth State every day,” said Frank. “Working at Plymouth State University has given me the opportunity to merge my passion for mentoring and my love for the law.”

According to one co-worker who nominated her for the award, Frank’s positive attitude and high regard for students, staff and faculty have earned respect throughout the campus community and beyond.

“Jennifer’s contributions to the University and the community cannot be measured by the number of awards she has received, but rather by the number of lives she has significantly touched.”
