Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Arr!

My boss, Susan Peery, will be sending out an e-mail to the whole campus community, but, well, people who read the KSC100 blog are special, and I want to be sure you get the word. Read Susan’s message and get back to her. Also, think about who else you know who’d be likely to have a GREAT idea about what makes this place great, and pass this on.

For the fall issue of Keene State Today, we need your ideas. What do you think belongs on a list of “100 Great Things about Keene State College”?

Please send suggestions, write as little or as much as you like, and suggest as many ideas as you want. Memories, events, people, buildings, courses, professors, singular encounters — whatever stands out in your mind. This issue will round out our Centennial year and we want to make it as special and inclusive as possible. We hope you will spread the word to friends of the College in Keene and beyond.

Please send your ideas to Susan Peery, speery@keene.edu, no later than Friday, May 22. If you have photos or memorabilia to share, please let us know as well. Thank you for your help.

Big moments call for big scissors — and big smiles.

A school with only about 400 students can assemble a 12-member mandolin club? Really?

In my day, we walked to school, uphill both ways, barefoot, in the snow, pushing a wheelbarrow…

Just because KSC doesn’t have football now, doesn’t mean it never did.

Top to bottom, left to right: Pool table, lounge with leather furniture and chandelier, basketball court, swimming pool, bowling alley.

Seems just like a gymnasium.

You know why they’re smiling, don’t you?

Because it’s not 90 degrees out.

The ladies from Manchester tackle Gilbert and Sullivan, perhaps.

Now ladies, we all get a little cabin fever, but there’s no need to resort to violence.
