KSC Champions Program

The KSC Champions Program is a campaign promoting social connection and individual and group action in support of healthy lifestyle behaviors. This program provides an opportunity to both give and gain encouragement for a journey toward wellness.  This program supports a community health improvment initiative, which is known as Vision 2020.  The goal of Vision 2020 is for Cheshire County to be the healthiest community in the nation by the year 2020.  Participants of the KSC Champions Program serve as ambassadors of Vision 2020 for Keene State and in turn, Cheshire County.
