The Professional Administrative and Technical staff are allied closely with the faculty and Operating Staff in the execution of Keene State College's mission. They have the responsibility to provide necessary services and to promote excellence in KSC activities. The PATs are active contributors to the goal of KSC's commitment to quality teaching and campus life.

The Keene State College PAT Council serves, first and foremost, as a liaison between the Professional, Administrative, and Technical Staff (PATs) of Keene State College, the President of Keene State College and the University System of New Hampshire.
