Here We Are Now

CCV-Morrisville graduate Levi Costa will be the student speaker at commencement.

When Levi Costa was a kid, he would sometimes visit his late father’s classroom at the University of Vermont. “He taught this class called ‘A Bug’s Life,’” says Costa. “It was all about the biology of bugs. [At that time] I thought college was cool…”

CCV Grads Stayed On Target To Earn Degrees

June 8, 2015 by Josh Larkin

CCV-Montpelier student Ashlee Brady-Kelly delivered the commencement address before an estimated crowd of 3,000.

Stay focused and never give up. Almost 600 CCV students were given that advice on Saturday when the College conferred associate degrees on members of the Class of 2015.

“Life, like so many valuable lessons, will not come easily or without its own set of challenges,” said student speaker Ashlee Brady-Kelly. “There may be times where it would be easier to succumb, than to thrive; to conquer. However I encourage you, no I beg you, please do not give up on yourself and never, never give up on your goals. It is in the most trying times that knowledge is gained and strength earned.”

As It Turns Out, College Really Does Change Lives

June 1, 2015 by Josh Larkin

CCV's student speaker for the class of 2015's commencement ceremony, Ashlee Brady-Kelly.

College will change your life. There’s a hackneyed phrase if ever there was one, but for CCV grads this year, there’s real truth behind that thought.

“The people at CCV gave me my life back, they gave me my identity back and there are no words of gratitude or actions that can be taken to make up for that,” said Ashlee Brady-Kelly. “I definitely plan to come back and visit and to help in any way I can.”

Student speaker Olivia Smith-Hammond addressing her class.

It’s official: the graduates have made the walk, been handed their degrees, and flipped their tassels from left to right. But leading up to that moment, a fair amount was asked of the Class of 2014 on Saturday.

“I beg you, I beg you to stay in Vermont, live, work, raise a family in the best state of the fifty states, that’s my plea to you today,” Governor Peter Shumlin told the Class of 2014.

Countdown to Commencement

June 3, 2014 by Josh Larkin

Burlington resident Olivia Smith-Hammond will deliver the student address at CCV's 47th commencement ceremony on June 7.

There’s nervousness. Pride. Joy. Anxiety. It’s like riding a big, rollercoaster of emotion and you’re just shy of the final loop-d-loop.

“I’m so content right now, things feel really good,” said Olivia Smith-Hammond. “I’m nervous, but I’m really trying to work on not fretting about the unknowns.”
