She was elbow-to-elbow with more than 20 national journalists, including those representing such news outlets as The New York Times, NBC national television, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, The Los Angeles Times, and Money magazine.

President Giles-Gee offered her thought leadership around higher education trends and issues. She shared the excellent work that’s happening at Keene State, and she built new relationships with the press.
