Keene State College Athletics/Alumni Hall of Fame
Keene State's President for a decade, Dr. Yarosewick assumed the Keene State presidency at an inflection point in the athletic department. In 1993, the College made the announcement to move to NCAA Division III and the Little East Conference by 1997.  Although the decision was made by his predecessor, Dr. Yarosewick affirmed the decision and when the Owls moved into Division III, they hit the ground running, capturing the LEC Commissioner's Cup in 2001, a streak that would last for 15 years and four different college presidents.  The Owls qualified for several NCAA tournaments during his tenure, including an appearance by the men's basketball team in the Elite 8 in 2004 and several NCAA national championships. In 2005, Keene State was named the ECAC Jostens Institution of the Year.
