Due to an unfortunate drought that Vermont has been experiencing this summer, Lake Champlain is down to levels we haven’t seen since 1934.
It’s not all bad news though! Because of this we were able to Law Island- usually only accessible by kayak, it was a great adventure 🚣♂️
Still reminiscing about last weekend 🍎.
Our Burlington campus had the pleasure of welcoming families for parents weekend- a time for parents to visit with their students, see what they’ve been up to, and spend some quality time together.
We were lucky to have a perfect fall weekend which included apple picking at Shelburne Orchards.
Parents, it was a pleasure to have you!
Friday recap incoming!
Our Eugene students have been busy soaking up the gorgeous weather with a hike up Skinners Butte and a trip to the Natural History Museum.
Madison students had themselves a milkshake party in amongst classes, homework, and everything else.
Burlington students are kicking off parents weekend this morning- more to come!
Students, what are you looking forward to this weekend?
