Celebrating Keene State’s Golden Circle Society this summer!
The Golden Circle Society at Keene State College is open to all alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago. If you graduated in or earlier than 1975, you and your guest are welcome to attend.
Golden Circle Luncheons
Please join us for the Keene State College Golden Circle Society luncheons! In 2026, we will gather for one luncheon in June on campus, and another in October at Hart’s Turkey Farm, along with regional Golden Circle meet-ups during the summer.
If you graduated in or before 1976, you and your guest are welcome to join us. Each luncheon will include a social hour beginning at 11:30 a.m., with lunch served at noon.
Interested in joining the Golden Circle Guides, the group that plans these meet-ups? Email alumni@keene.edu to learn more and get involved.
The Legacy of the Golden Circle Society
At Reunion in 1986, F. Marion Tebbetts Wood ‘26 organized a special alumni gathering during the class meeting time and called it the Golden Circle. The group met primarily during Reunion for many years.
In 1997, Norma Walker ‘51, who was serving on the Alumni Board, organized a gathering for alumni living at the Havenwood Heritage Heights Retirement Community in Concord. Barbara Auderer Goodridge ‘34 attended that event and suggested that Norma organize a luncheon at the Cat ‘n’ Fiddle, also in Concord. Walker got an enthusiastic response, and the Golden Circle luncheons were off and running!
