KSC students return this weekend, and the campus will once again come alive. To accommodate students moving into the Winchester Street dorms, the section of street between the Main Street roundabout and Blake Street will be closed to through traffic on Saturday and Sunday. The road will be closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day and only KSC traffic and emergency vehicles will be allowed through. Traffic control personnel will be assisting with traffic, but motorists should expect delays.
You can find all the information on opening weekend here. If you’d like to join the team of faculty and staff who will be here to help students move in, please call Caroll Lothrop at 8-2346.

The College will officially welcome new students to the Keene State community on Sunday, August 24. Faculty and staff who would like to participate in the New Student Convocation should be at the Appian Way Gateway at 1 p.m. This year faculty and staff are asked to wear regalia, if possible (if not, please wear business-casual attire). Upon arrival, faculty and staff will be asked to line up along Appian Way to Spaulding Gym.
Around 1:15 p.m. students will pass through the Main Street Gateway onto the campus, a symbolic part of the program where new students literally step into the KSC community. Faculty and staff will add to the symbolism by “clapping in” the students as they begin their walk to the gym. When all the students have walked down Appian Way, faculty and staff will enter through the side doors of the gym that face the Student Center. The program will run from 1:30-2:15 p.m. There are no activities following the convocation. For more information, call Pauline Dionne at 8-2106.
