President Giles-Gee: A New Century Leader

New Hampshire Magazine included President Giles-Gee on the 2009 “IT” list in the November 2009 issue. Each year the magazine creates a guest list for the “ultimate dinner party in the Granite State - an annual who’s who of the most fascinating and happening people in New Hampshire.” Calling Giles-Gee a “New Century Leader,” they write:

Dr. Helen Giles-Gee has presided over a wide range of activities since becoming president of Keene state College in 2005, including this year’s celebration of the school’s 100th anniversary. Courses have been revised and curricula transformed to ensure students acquire both the academic and technical skills graduates should have. The school has been endowed with two new academic chairs and has increased ties with area businesses and communities. “I think this puts us in position for the next 100 years to be an even better partner, not just with the Monadnock Region but with the state,” says the president.
