CCV In France: Study Abroad Spring 2018
Being French
Today is the last full day of our adventure. We have seen so many monuments of history and culture. Today being Sunday, there was a lot of foot traffic on the streets. People walking to work, the local boulangerie, a café, or the markets.
The Arts
Celebration of the Arts
On Friday, December 8th, the Rutland center held its biannual Cafe CCV, a showcase of different visual and performing arts classes held at the center. In Winooski, the CCV Guitar 1 class and the Community Chorus held a musical performance. And at the Montpelier center, three different art classes were highlighted in an end-of-semester art show.

Connecting Communities
“I didn’t work well with school, but I was smart. I would skip school and go read books,” says Richard Witting. He dropped out of high school at 17, tried a few classes at CCV, and then moved to the West Coast for more than a decade. In Portland and San Francisco, he returned to familiar work: food.
Notes from the
President
An Invitation
At the Community College of Vermont, we believe education beyond high school is a necessity for all, and not a privilege for some. Now more than ever, higher education must be understood as central and fundamental to a healthy economy.
