The new tour schedule has been posted to www.keene.edu/admissions ; you can now sign up for tours for the fall semester.
This week is “opening week” on campus. We, faculty and staff, have been in workshops and meetings all day. I have some very exciting facts, announcements and other things I can not wait to share with you all. I will post all this excitement later.
For now be sure to sign up for an opportunity to visit campus, meet us; the Owl Admissions Staff, and find out why Keene State is the best place to be!
All of our tours for the remainder of the summer are FULL! Our summer tours end this Friday, August 15. The schedule for the fall semester will be posted to our website; www.keene.edu/admissions , on August 18. Tours are offered twice a day Monday-Friday and on select Saturdays. Our Saturday tours do fill up fast so I would advise anyone to sign up early. Remember; once a tour is full we can not add anyone to the program. Again, the tour schedule for the fall will be posted to our website on Monday, August 18.
Hope to see you on campus
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’m sitting here in my office listening to the roaring thunder and the pitter patter of the rain hitting my window. I hope the sun shines soon.
Sorry it’s been so long since I posted. The campus has been a buzz with all things orientation lately. We, the admissions office, have been busy stuffing name tags, checking students and parents in and making sure that families know where to go once they are on campus. Yes, orientation takes place in June and it is where you get your classes for the fall and picture taken for your id. Of course there are other activities that take place during the 2 day event, but ID’s and classes seem to be the ones asked about most often.
If you are familiar with this blog and know where the links are (up on the right), then you will notice that I have added a new blog by one of our current students. Larisa will be blogging this fall about her adventures in Rome! You can click on her link to find out more about her summer and preparation to study in Italy. As always, let us know what you think.
I hope you are all having an amazing summer so far! Congratulations to the class of 2008!!!
Keene State is getting ready to commemorate a very exciting time in the college’s history. Starting June 14, 2008 and continuing to December 2009, Keene State will be celebrating it’s centennial. That’s right, 100 years of the college! It is a very exciting time to be an Alum, student or prospective student. There is so much history linked to the college and many more memories students, alum, faculty and staff can share. For more information on the centennial please check out the centennial blog with links to all things celebrating 100 years!
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!
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!
