Remember when I posted a while back that May 1 will be here before we know it? Well, May 1 is next week; can you believe it? I know there are many of you accepted students who have still not made up your mind. Do it quick!

Just for Juniors

Many juniors want to visit campus this time of year. We receive many phone calls with requests to visit. If you are new to this blog I encourage you to go back and read; I have listed some very helpful information to our seniors during the year. If you want to visit campus please check our website for tour times and dates. We can not add anyone to the program once a tour is full!! Summer tours are available. Believe it or not, summer is a great time to visit campus!

 Remember that as a senior you will have plenty of opportunity to visit in the fall. We also travel all over New England and visit many high schools and attend college fairs throughout the region. Feel free to e-mail me over the summer to see if we will be attending your high school or a college fair near you.

As you plan your courses for senior year keep in mind that just meeting the minimum requirements will not gain you access into Keene State College. You must challenge yourself up through senior year. The average GPA last year was a 3.0/4.0 scale and the average SAT was 1020 (Critical Reading and Math ONLY).

Spring Touring

I just spent the last week in Vermont traveling to various college fair around the state. I met some great students while there. If I had a chance to speak to you, please be sure to visit us this summer or fall. Speaking of visiting, I seem to be getting a lot of requests regarding tour dates and times. All of our tours for the remainder of the semester can be found here. If a tour is full please remember that we can not add anymore students to the program. We will also be posting our summer tour schedule within the next month. Summer is a great time to visit campus! If you can’t visit but want to ask questions, feel free to contact me! I can be reached at swatt@keene.edu or online at AIM screen name; KSCSasha.

April Fool’s Day

Wow! So much has been going on and it has been a while since I posted a new entry. I apologize for being away for so long.

Things in the office have been so busy. Our Admitted Student Day programs have been successful and fun. I love meeting the students who will be here next fall.

Spring travel is in full swing. Be sure to visit us at one of the many college fairs we will be traveling to in the next few weeks. We will be attending most New England National College fairs and the NEACAC fairs. Be sure to also check with your high school, we may be visiting a fair near you!

Since today is April 1st I should remind everyone that we are no longer accepting applications for the Fall 2008 semester. This is no joke! If you are still interested in applying to Keene State College please consider us for the Spring 2009 semester.

I should also mention that there are some very exciting things happening around campus as of late. The past weekend was the Academic Excellence Conference here on campus. This conference allows students, who are producing excellent work in their major of study, to share their work with a broad audience. You can view the conference schedule here,

This is a wonderful opportunity for students!

I hope you are all having a successful academic year!
