Keene State recently received two major gifts that will benefit students and the TDS Center. The estate of Mary Hamilton ’44 has added to the principal of the Mary C E Hamilton ’44 and Erik Harry Hamilton Scholarship Endowment, which Mary established in 2000 to memorialize her brother Erik and to support students enrolled in teacher education. The additional principal will now enable a higher level of financial aid.

The Main Street America Group (locally known as National Grange Mutual Insurance) has given a major gift towards the TDS Center building project. The company’s name will be added to the large donor board in the Hub. It has also named the Safety Lab Prep Room that sits between classrooms 209 and 211 in the TDS Center.
