Move in weekend

Keene State College... in cookie formThis past weekend faculty,staff and current students helped welcome the class of 2012 to the Keene State College community. Under bright blue skies, 1300 first year students moved into various resident halls on campus. This event not only welcomes families to the KSC community, but it ushers in the new academic year. I love seeing the first year students moving into their rooms, picking up their books and computers and starting to settle into the life of a college student. I’ve attached some photos of campus that I took over the weekend.. enjoy!

Visiting Campus

The new tour schedule has been posted to www.keene.edu/admissions  ; you can now sign up for tours for the fall semester.

This week is “opening week” on campus. We, faculty and staff, have been in workshops and meetings all day. I have some very exciting facts, announcements and other things I can not wait to share with you all. I will post all this excitement later.

For now be sure to sign up for an opportunity to visit campus, meet us; the Owl Admissions Staff, and find out why Keene State is the best place to be!

Tours; Fall 2008

All of our tours for the remainder of the summer are FULL! Our summer tours end this Friday, August 15. The schedule for the fall semester will be posted to our website; www.keene.edu/admissions , on August 18. Tours are offered twice a day Monday-Friday and on select Saturdays. Our Saturday tours do fill up fast so I would advise anyone to sign up early. Remember; once a tour is full we can not add anyone to the program. Again, the tour schedule for the fall will be posted to our website on Monday, August 18.

Hope to see you on campus

August update

I just returned from vacation and am very excited to be back on campus preparing for an exciting fall semester. I noticed that summer tours for the month of August are full! Wow! I am happy to see so much interest in Keene State; it really is a great place to be. If you did not get a chance to visit us this summer please be sure to sign up for a tour this fall. The fall tour schedule will be posted to our website on August 18. Be sure to sign up early as tours do fill up fast.

In a few short weeks RA’s will be returning to campus to start training and on Saturday August 23 we will open our doors to 1300 first year students living on campus. It is a tradition here at Keene State to help first year students move into their resident halls and welcome them to the Keene State College community. In a few short hours the campus comes alive with students and families as we prepare for another academic year.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer and please remember that if you have any questions you can e-mail me; swatt@keene.edu. I would love to hear from you.
