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.
Summer is in full swing here in the admissions office and on campus. Orientation finished 2 weeks ago and students left with the excitement of returning to campus the end of August.
The campus is quiet during the summer months but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great time to visit us. Not only will you have a chance to walk around our beautiful campus but you can explore the city of Keene as well. Keene offers students so much. Did you know that we are withing walking distance to just about everything! There are so many great shops and restaurants in downtown;Walmart and Shaws is in our backyard. If you can’t live with out your Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks don’t worry, they are both within walking distance to campus. We have just about everything!
Our summer tours are in full swing and I noticed that many are filling up fast. Be sure to register early if you are planning on visiting Keene State this summer. We look forward to seeing you on campus and don’t forget to say hi!
I know it has been a while since I have posted an entry. There have been so many activities happening on campus. Graduation was Sunday, May 11. It was an absolutely beautiful day. We, Keene State College, does an amazing job with graduation. When you walk around and see the beauty of our campus, hear the music being played, the hugs and congratulations between graduate and family and friends, one can not help but smile with pride and joy. Keene State is a wonderful place to be.
This past Friday Keene State was host to a large college fair. Over 157 colleges and universities were on campus to assist high school juniors with the college search process. It was a well attended event and one I would recommend to anyone who lives in the area.
I just want to remind you that the Admissions office is open all summer long. The summer tour schedule is now posted on our website. We will be offering tours during the months of June, July and August. Summer is a great time to visit Keene State.
Hope to see you on campus soon!
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!
