On behalf of the faculty and staff at Keene State College, congratulations on your upcoming graduation! In recognition of your achievement, I invite you to participate in the Commencement ceremony to be held on Saturday, May 5 2012, at 1 p.m. on Fiske Quad.

The Commencement ceremony is a long-honored tradition in which the College publicly recognizes each graduate before an audience of family and friends. Please visit www.keene.edu/commencement to access important information regarding logistical details for the day, such as where to assemble for the ceremony. The website also includes a timeline to help you prepare for graduation.

Please note that, in order to guarantee your ability to participate in the Commencement ceremony, you must complete the on-line Participation Form prior to attending the preparatory Commencement Fair on Wednesday, April 4 or Thursday, April 5 in the Madison Street Lounge.

During your time at Keene State, I have celebrated your many achievements in the classroom, on the playing fields and in service to others. I look forward to celebrating your graduation with you and greeting you when you come across the Commencement platform.

Sincerely,

Helen F. Giles-Gee
President
