Celebrating 35 Years!
This year marks the 35th Annual Keene State College President’s Outstanding Women of New Hampshire Awards Ceremony. These awards are part of the Celebration of Women’s History Month in March. The national theme, Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations, celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. Through their efforts, they have served as an inspiration and shaping force through the generations and played a pivotal role in nurturing minds and inspiring transformative action. This, in turn, contributes to the well-being of groups, businesses, communities, and society as a whole.
The 2025 theme spotlights the contributions women have made to the educational system and so to the very fabric of our society. We will honor awardees in four categories; Keene State Student, Keene State Faculty or Staff, Greater Monadnock Region and State of New Hampshire. An on-campus celebration to recognize honorees will be held on Thursday, March 27th. Reception and light refreshments starts at 6pm, ceremony starts at 6:30pm
