Southern Vermont College

In the current issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education, Southern Vermont College and Bennington College are featured as two schools that are changing the paradigm for what it truly means to be a liberal arts college in the 21^st century. Both institutions think the “traditional” way is not working and have charted a new path.

SVC is committed to training the leaders of tomorrow to have critical thinking and problem solving skills.  With a liberal arts core, we are fostering learning through a laboratory, hands-on approach, rooted in engagement in the community and partnerships with those outside the walls of the institution.

The Chronicle article captures the essence of SVC, and I am pleased that, together with our neighbor Bennington College, we are seen as places that are working to provide quality higher education in a changing world.

Our students, faculty and staff can be proud that our story is being told. I, too, am proud.
