It is a true privilege to return to Keene State. It helps to bring history and deep personal experience with the magic of this institution. A true joy.
I returned originally to serve as a faculty member in the department I received my bachelor’s degree. I returned to participate in educating the future safety and health professionals that I knew make an impact in their work as alumni. My goal was to develop an applied research agenda for safety and environmental studies students.
It was a privilege to be well supported by this community at all levels, all milestones. I know my personal belief in this community and our students has become stronger at each step in my relationship with Keene State College. And as President, I will take much joy in championing my alma mater..
My motivation to stay is our students. Doing what I can to ensure that others have the opportunities that I did.
I do not find it strange to work with people I used to look up to… I see it as a unique privilege. It makes me so humble to know that my responsibilities are to support and advance their dreams. What a privilege and obligation all at once.
