Three Safety Studies Students Receive ASSE Scholarships

Three KSC Safety Studies students have received scholarships from the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), a national organization that represents more than 34,000 safety, health, and environmental professionals. Travis Brenner, a Keene State senior, was awarded the Flatiron Construction Christopher Gonzalez Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $4,700. Keene State senior, Timothy Brinkerhoff, received the Greater Boston Chapter Leadership Award of $1,000, and Joshua Besnoff, Keene State graduate student, was awarded the New England Area Future Leadership Award in the amount of $1,000.

The money will be a big help in moving these students ahead in their career paths. “
This scholarship will be great support towards graduate school,” Brenner said.

A New Season of Golden Circle Luncheons

If you graduated 50 or more years ago, you’re a member of the elite Golden Circle Society, and if you live in New Hampshire (or will be in the state at the right day this summer/fall), then it’s time to start looking forward to the Society’s famous luncheons. On select days from June through November, GCS members gather at various restaurants and locations throughout New Hampshire to keep in touch, catch up on news of the College, and share all those fond memories about life on campus. This year’s schedule has now been posted on the web:

June 21                 Concord – Makris Restaurant
July 19                  Keene – KSC Centennial Hall
August 7               Meredith – Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant
August 28            Portsmouth – Portsmouth Country Club
Sept 20                 Charlestown – Sumner House
October 18           Concord – Havenwood/Heritage Heights (residents only)
November 8         Rindge – J.P. Stephens

Invitations are sent in advance for each luncheon, so keep an eye out for yours. Spouses, guests, and care providers are welcome, too! If you’re a Golden Circle Society member (or know a member who might like to attend) and would like more information about the events, please contact Kirsten Camp in the Alumni Office via kcamp@keene.edu or 603-358-2369 or 1-800-572-1909 (option #6) or phone Norma Walker at 603-357-4089.

Where’d I See That?

The fact that you’ve been around campus since there was a greenhouse on the Quad won’t help you with this one:

It’s not too hard to figure out what it is, but where is it? Actually, that’s not a very hard guess, either. Oh well, if you think you know the answer, please write it on a piece of paper and slip it carefully inside the brim of that same ultrafino Casablanca Montecristi  Panama Hat, size 7 ¼, that no one sent me last time and mail it (in time for summer, por favor) to Newsline, Alumni Center, 229 Main St., Keene, NH 03435.
