“Throughout their time at Keene State, these graduating students connected with new communities; challenged themselves through their studies; broadened their horizons by traveling to new places and learning about different cultures; served our local, regional, and global communities; tried their hand at a variety of research and career opportunities – in essence, they have transformed into the leaders we will see on stage at Commencement,” said Keene State College President Dr. Anne E. Huot.

“I am proud that these students will join our active network of alumni. It is an honor to celebrate all of their accomplishments at Keene State and all of their success yet to come. Congratulations to the Class of 2017.”
