Approximately 70 students attended the Academic and Career Advising Office’s job fair preparation workshop on February 2nd. Students were also invited to one-on-one meetings with an alumni volunteer the following week for a resume critique, and 28 students took advantage of that.

Then on February 28, 10 KSC alums volunteered to participate in the Student Center Leadership Development Program’s Second Annual Etiquette Dinner. This group of alums joined 60 current students for an evening of networking, conversation, and sharing.

Later this spring, recent alums will participate in a “Life after KSC” panel covering such topics as choosing a career path, navigating the transition from school to professional life, deciding about graduate school, and much more.

Are you looking for a career opportunity? Keene State College alumni and students are welcome to attend the annual New Hampshire College and University Council Job Fair, Wednesday, February 17, from 1–6 p.m. at the Center of NH Radisson Hotel (700 Elm Street, Manchester, NH 03101). This is the largest academically sponsored job fair north of Boston.

Your membership in the KSC community sure doesn’t end when you graduate, and we’re always looking for ways we can serve our alums. We just finished a Herculean effort (whew!) to update and improve our alumni database, and now we’d like your help. As you know, a database is only as good as the information in it, so please check out our new Update Us! form and make sure the personal and career information we have for you is up to date.

Why personal info? This helps us create programs of interest to you, in your area, and make sure the alumni magazine, Keene State Today, and other information (including Newsline!) reaches you.

Why career info? We are launching a new career network program that should be a great resource for alumni and students. Alums working in related fields, or seeking employment in a particular field, can share information, and students hoping to enter a career can contact alums to learn of job opportunities or internships and receive professional advice.

So keep in touch, and we’ll keep in touch with you!
