Hattie Geist, B.S.
Hattie grew up in the mountains of Idaho and on the lakes of Minnesota. She ventured out east for college and graduated from St. Lawrence University with a degree in Conservation Biology and Outdoor Studies. She then completed a graduate certificate in Environmental and Sustainability Education during a year as a Graduate Naturalist in Northern Minnesota, where she worked with students of all ages, teaching experiential, academic lessons in the outdoors. Hattie’s continued work in education, through tutoring, residential programs, and outdoor/farm education, brought her to Maine, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. She is excited to have landed in Vermont and is looking forward to supporting students here at Mansfield Hall as they achieve their academic and personal goals! In her free time, you can find Hattie baking, gardening, watercoloring, and enjoying time spent by the water.
ADHD doesn’t look the same for everyone.
For years, the condition was misunderstood, especially among women.
Knowing how ADHD can show up differently helps us support students more effectively.
This week in Madison the arcade was calling our name, thrifts were found, and the kitchen stayed busy!
See ya Monday!
You could say that our Eugene parents weekend was a-MAZE-ing! 🌽
Congrats to our two new Mansfield Hall Burlington student ambassadors!
Each year first year students apply and interview to become ambassadors. These students are leaders within the community, responsible for creating experiences through program development, and serve a spokespeople for the broader student community.
When asked what they were most looking forward to, this is what they had to say:
"I`m excited to help with the community meetings and activities" - Alex
"I`m most excited to be a bigger part of the community and connect better- and maybe plan more skiing trips this winter!" - John
Another week in the books!
Highlights from this week include:
- Fire pit fun with s’mores galore in Madison
- The Great Corn maze the Burlington
- And a sharpening of skills in the Kitchen across both
“I want to learn how to cook some simple meals so that I can be more independent.”
We`re so lucky to have an incredible team of staff across our three locations, and we want to highlight them!
Starting with Naomi, one of our Madison based Academic Directors.
