Fall 2021: Welcome to Keene State Nathan!
Keene State is featuring another incredible student who will be joining the community in fall 2021. Welcome to ÌìÃÀÓ°ÒôÖ±²¥, Nathan Schwartz!
Where he’s from: Hanover, NH
Major: Undeclared. He’s interested in nursing, safety and occupational health applied sciences, Holocaust and genocide studies, and history
Choosing Keene State: “I want to be in a place where we can gather as a community, with a sense of family. When I took the campus tours and walked around Keene with my family, I could imagine myself at ÌìÃÀÓ°ÒôÖ±²¥ and discovering new things. The core classes have so much variety. It seems like a place where it is easy to ask for help and get it.â€
Special skills: Nathan has been a skier since he was four years old. He is a ski instructor, and he also skis one-on-one with a person who has a disability. He is taking an EMT course.
Memorable experience: Nathan was leading a small wilderness exploration group on vast Umbagog Lake on the Maine-New Hampshire border. They were setting up camp after an eight-hour canoe trip when one of the campers fell and severely broke his wrist. Nathan, who said he felt a sense of calm take over, worked to set and wrap the compound fracture, and the group packed up and started paddling back toward medical help.
