Today we had our final on-campus workshop of the 2025-26 Academic Year! Keene State College Upward Bound Students started the day with a fun warm up activity, trying their best to recreate famous art pieces!

Then, students learned about Financial Literacy! They discussed the difference between a checking & savings account, saw how to write a check, and even played an interactive game where students had a limited amount of “money” to spend. They had to think about their needs and prioritize spending!

After lunch students participated in community service, writing encouraging notes to the KSC Aspire students who will be taking finals next week!

Thank you so everyone who joined us today! We only have a few events left this year, so make sure to check your KSC TRIO emails for more info!

Students took a tour of the facility & labs, participated in hands on demonstrations, and spoke to staff about their educational journey!

Thank you Cheshire Medical Center, and all the wonderful staff, for having us!
