I am standing in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, and I have that same look on my face. I feel somehow let down that this once busy but quaint plaza has come into the 21st century in a way I don’t entirely get. And I don’t yet understand how I feel about it.

Building a Better World, Community by Community

February 17, 2015 by Josh Larkin

Casey English, a founding member of GYST, a Lamoille County-based men's support group and CCV-Morrisville's 2014 Leadership Scholar.

How does one go about getting a check for a cool grand in the mail from CCV?

Here’s a recipe: To start, contribute in class and keep your grades up. Next, spend a good amount of time helping your fellow students succeed. When asked for help, give freely. And finally, do lots of selfless acts to strengthen your community. Essentially, act like a leader and you’ll be rewarded as a leader.

Increasing New Student Comfort Level

January 28, 2015 by Josh Larkin

Benjamin Benedict tosses a ball of yarn to a fellow student during an orientation exercise.

Mom’s shepherd’s pie, Indian curry, and bacon may not have a whole lot in common at first blush, but in Room 304 at CCV-Winooski, they’re connected.

“I’m going to throw the yarn to someone, and when you catch it, you have to say your name, your major, and your favorite food,” CCV student and orientation leader MaryAnn Maalin said. “It will start to look like a spider’s web, and you’ll start to see how connected we all are at CCV.”

Fair Haven Students Get the Real College Experience

April 3, 2014 by Josh Larkin

Belle Kidder as an Intro to College Studies student during her freshman year of high school.

Identical twins Kaitlyn and Keilani Pellerin of Fair Haven are in agreement: Intro to College Studies is a lot of fun.

The two Fair Haven Union High School sophomores, along with nine fellow students from the school, are spending their Wednesday evenings learning about communication, time management, college financial planning, and a bevy of other useful skills that will help them get into college and succeed once they’re there. And while they both say they’re enjoying the ICS subject matter, there are some other aspects of the course that’s got the Pellerins and their ICS classmates singing its praises.

Helping Out In Any Way They Can

January 23, 2014 by Josh Larkin

Stephen Andolfo has a grand scheme in mind to get his classmates through Moby Dick.

Former punk rock bassist. Comic book aficionado. Indie film enthusiast. CCV Middlebury, meet your 2013 student leadership scholar.

Actually, if you were to pass Stephen Andolfo on the street, you’d probably think ‘that guy ought to be a bouncer at a roadhouse.’”

Andolfo stands 6’ tall, he’s a got a lot of tattoos, and he carries himself with an enormous air of confidence. But give him your ear for 30 seconds and any preconceived notions you may have formed disappear, replaced by a sense of awe for an affable man whose humility is inspirational and whose enthusiasm for life is infectious.
