Keene State College Alumni

This July, Steve Osciak '88 organized a summer reunion that brought together a group of Keene State friends from the Classes of 1987–1992 for a cookout at a local park. With beautiful weather, custom reunion T-shirts, and plenty of stories from their days on campus, it was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, reminisce, and make new memories together.

Were you at Keene State between 1987 and 1992? Tag your classmates and tell us where your KSC friendships have taken you!

📖 Throwing it back to 1991 at Keene State! 🎓

The pages of The Kronicle yearbook capture so many of the moments that made senior year unforgettable.

🚢 The Class of 1991 celebrated their final year with a senior class trip cruise to Nova Scotia.

🛶 Senior Week brought adventure (and a little excitement!) at College Camp—where a canoe trip across the lake took an unexpected turn when students discovered a hole halfway across!

🎤🏊‍♀️ Greek Week brought out the competitive spirit with events ranging from air band and pie eating to swimming and running competitions.

🩸 In Butler Hall, 321 students came together to donate blood and make a difference.

🎶 The Pub on the second floor of the Student Union was a favorite spot for students to gather and make memories.

⚽ On the field, the men’s soccer team had a season to remember, finishing with a 16-6-1 record and capturing the ECAC Championship title!

More than 40 years after first meeting through Kappa Gamma at Keene State, Annie Acerno DiSilva '86 and Karen Cherella Haining '84 reunited in Ireland this summer. Along with exploring many of the country's historic sites, they stopped for a visit to Trinity College in Dublin. Their reunion is a wonderful reminder that the friendships and connections made at Keene State can last a lifetime.
