Building Resilience

Virginia Litchfield started college when she was 18. Before long, “life just kind of got in the way.” She tried again six years ago. Again, life got in the way—and she didn’t have the tools she needed to reach out and ask for support.

Level Up at CCV-Morrisville: Building Camaraderie and Community

Van Fryman attended 15 different schools before graduating from high school. “I grew up moving around the U.S. with my family,” he says. “My mom and dad were divorced. My dad was in the military, my mom was a gypsy.” He went to a new school practically every year.

Still Life Lessons

Carol Gargon has been teaching art classes at CCV for 31 years. She’s taught graphic design, drawing, pastels, painting, jewelry, printmaking, and a crafting class. This spring, students in her Painting I class in Montpelier had a chance to show their work in CCV president Joyce Judy’s office gallery, where artwork from CCV faculty members is displayed in rotating exhibits.

Starting with STEM

Evan Spencer admits he was a little intimidated when he learned about the number of hours required for his Professional Field Experience class, the semester-long internship he needed to complete in order to earn his STEM studies degree this spring.

Former Student, Future Star

Hanging out with Josh Huffman is just plain fun. Josh is vibrant, charismatic, and genuine.

A Good Ally

CCV’s veterans service coordinator Kyle Aines was at the NASPA symposium last month, a nationwide conference for veteran and military student affairs professionals, when he heard a familiar voice.

Credit for What I Know

Robyn St. Peter says she never believed a college education was in her stars. For one thing, it was expensive. For another, “I never thought I was smart enough.” She’s worked as a firefighter, EMT, LNA, and special education paraprofessional.

(Darn) Tough Love

Kris Matheson is obsessed with socks. He brags about the drawers full of them he has at home, and the fancy materials they’re made of, like merino wool and something called Coolmax; he ogles the rows of sewing machines that knit them inside the Cabot Hosiery Mills in Northfield, where Darn Tough socks are made.

A Good Investment

Cathy Solsaa is a talented, busy person. She’s a longarm quilter, a wife, and a mother of four. She has a degree in economics. She’s a massage therapist, and she helps run her husband’s contracting business. “I’m sort of a seeker, a learner,” she says.

Side by Side

“I don’t think there’s been a day that’s passed by that I haven’t thought about working at Hazelett.” Tyler Schmoll is young, bearded, and stoic. Sitting next to Tyler in a matching easy chair (and in matching company-issued duds) is his twin brother, Cody.

A Priceless Opportunity

When Hal Porter was 42 years old, he found himself standing at the end of a long dirt driveway, pulling a small wheeled suitcase. Surrounding the driveway were a cluster of tired buildings and a few solitary trees. Beyond that were woods. A sign on one of the buildings in front of him read, “You are no longer alone.”
