The University System of New Hampshire Board of Trustees and the Campus community have chosen Dr. Anne E. Huot to be the College’s 10th president. For the past six years, Dr. Huot served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at The College at Brockport, State University of New York, where she provided leadership and vision in the areas of academics, campus climate, strategic planning, and community and business relations. Dr. Huot, a native of Manchester, NH, will begin her role as Keene State president on July 1, 2013.
“New Hampshire is my home, and the opportunity to further establish Keene State College as a preeminent public liberal arts college is both humbling and exciting. Access to a high-quality education remains critical to preparing graduates for active engagement with their communities and for success in an increasingly complex world,” Dr. Huot said.
“Dr. Anne Huot’s commitment to the value of a liberal arts education, her vision and ever-growing success as an academic leader, and her New Hampshire roots, all with outstanding references from colleagues from throughout her career, matched extremely well with our priorities for the president,” explained George Epstein, USNH Trustee and chair of the search committee. “Dr. Huot then came to campus and connected warmly with students, faculty, staff, and community members—it was then that we knew we had Keene State’s next leader.”
