The Keene State College Parents Association (KSCPA), established in 1973, promotes the interest of KSC students, parents, and the College.
Membership
Parents of students at Keene State College, like you, from many states and different walks of life, comprise the membership of the KSCPA.
The annual membership fee of $25 brings several benefits, including quarterly issues of Keene State Today, the Parents Association newsletter, regular correspondence from the College, and an opportunity to be involved and informed.
Some parents take a more active role in the organization by serving on a committee or becoming a member of the executive board. Many members live far from Keene, but there are other ways in which parents could help. One could make telephone calls or send e-mails during membership drives, assist in finding jobs or serving as career mentor, provide a room for a senior on his or her way to an interview, or organize a fund-raising event in your area.
