Commencement 2009: Parking Permits and Gonfalons

Keene State College’s 2009 Commencement ceremony will be held on Fiske Quad on Saturday, May 9. This year, each of the four schools will be marching behind a colorful gonfalon, a long banner created by designer alum Brian Parda ’01, to symbolize the different academic areas at Keene State. (Pictured below is the gonfalon for the School of Professional and Graduate Studies.)

Pauline Dionne (Advancement) reminds the campus community that parking permits are required for Commencement on Saturday and advises people to arrive early to allow for parking. Permits for faculty and staff members participating in the commencement line-of-march will be in campus mail on Monday, May 4. For other staff parking permits, please contact Pauline Dionne at pdionne@keene.edu. Faculty and staff parking will be in the Elliot Hall Lot and/or Carroll House/Historical Society lot off Main St. Permits go on your car dashboard.
