Chelsey Rothermel, Keene State College, NH

Serving as president of Circle K for the past year, Ms. Rothermel strives for excellence in herself and others. She pushes her organization by providing ways to engage with the surrounding communities. She united the organization to work on a park clean-up and raise money for various organizations. She has also led students to volunteer at multiple community events. Furthermore, she has worked as the First Book Coordinator in the College Community Service Office for the past two years. Her outstanding commitment to community service is unmistakable in her contributions to the Monadnock Region, as well as Keene State College.

 

The Swearer Award has provided me with such an incredible venue for advocacy. At Penn, I've had the chance to speak to faculty, students, and alumni who are interested more than ever in supporting the civic mission of higher education."
