Close to Home Campaign Update

From the Close to Home Committee:

The faculty and staff Close to Home campaign is now halfway through. Many campus members have reached out and made a gift. So far, the campaign has raised over $40,000 from 128 faculty and staff members for a total of 14% participation! Thank you!

As you know, our students value and enjoy their Keene State College experience, but it isn’t always easy for them to finance their education. You already give so much: your dedication, talent, and passion for KSC help create a remarkable community in which students feel empowered to achieve their goals. But our students need financial help as well.

Your gift, designated to any area of campus, will help current students like Rebecca achieve their educational and career dreams.

“I’ve always known I wanted my career to focus on helping others, but after studying abroad in South Africa I saw how far we all, as a global community, still need to come. KSC has given me the opportunities and experiences that motivate me to pursue my career goal of one day working in a nonprofit organization to promote social change.”

It is not too late to make a gift. In fact, it is easy! You can visit www.keene.edu/c2h to make your gift online, send a check to MS 2701, or call Advancement Services at 8-2375 to make a gift by credit card or to request a payroll deduction form. Remember, you can designate your gift to any place on campus!

On behalf of the entire Close to Home Committee, we encourage you to make a difference. Thank you for your support of our great campus and students.
