Education That Can Move Your Career Forward 

Meet Christopher Toppin ’17 

Mainstay Technologies | UNH College of Professional Studies Alumnus 

After a decade of experience in information technology, Christopher Toppin knew that advancing into leadership would require him to build upon his education. 

He returned to college while balancing work, marriage and raising two young children, earning his bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from Granite State College, now the UNH College of Professional Studies. 

“Completing my bachelor’s helped me move from a successful individual contributor to someone who could lead teams and think strategically to support growth and success.” 

Today, Christopher is a technology leader at Mainstay Technologies, a UNH employer partner.
