The summer issue of Keene State Today, your favorite alumni magazine, is now online, offering you fascinating stories and a few bonus tracks that enhance the print edition.

Read all about how a boulder from Mt. Ascutney, in Vermont, hitched a ride on a glacier all the way to Keene. Last spring, thanks to travel arrangements coordinated by Class of ’56 alum John Summers, the boulder made the final (we hope) leg of its journey to a grassy area on the west side of the David F. Putnam Science Center.

Or about four projects that integrate KSC’s values of citizenship and academic achievement with opportunities for service in the city of Keene.

Or about the incredibly rich and varied lives of Bruce ’64 and Joanne ’66 Smith, who maintain High Hopes Orchard in Westmoreland, enjoyed successful teaching careers and a flourishing pie-baking business, and have been traveling the world. How do they do it all?

Or about Dave Wenhold ’90, who came to KSC an introvert and graduated to become a leading and compassionate lobbyist in Washington, D.C. He’s developed an advocacy campaign for Keene State to help secure funds for the Monadnock Biodiesel Cooperative and the Regional Center for Advanced Manufacturing.

Or about Dr. Larry Benaquist, who came to Keene State to teach Renaissance lit. But then a student asked him a simple question, and he ended up creating the Film Studies program. How does that happen?

Or about siblings Samantha, Riley, and Jackie Benson, who all play sports for KSC and keep their best fans – their parents – running all over to games.

If you’re a runner, you’ll definitely want to read track coach Peter Thomas’ advice – and the advice from some of his top runners – about what makes a good runner.

But wait, there’s more!  Just check out the online issue to see it all – and once you’ve delved into these thought-provoking articles, we welcome your online comments.
