Vermont Business Magazine In recognition of the exceptional leaders who have built and sustained the Vermont State Colleges (VSC) since 1961, the Board of Trustees will confer its second Award for Extraordinary Contribution as part of the 2017 Vermont State Colleges Hall of Fame. In March 2016 the Board of Trustees hosted its inaugural Hall of Fame celebration. The event was a huge success, with a sold out crowd honoring five outstanding alumni and former Vermont Governor Phil Hoff, and raised tens of thousands of dollars for scholarships for Vermont students. The 2017 awardee will be inducted to the Hall of Fame along with five accomplished alumni from each of the member colleges. The Vermont State Colleges Hall of Fame highlights the accomplishments of the VSC’s many talented alumni and shines a spotlight on the positive impact the VSC has on the economic, intellectual, and civic wellbeing of Vermont.
The winner of the Award for Extraordinary Contribution and the five alumni inductees will be recognized at the Vermont State Colleges Hall of Fame celebration on March 16, 2017 at the Capitol Plaza in
Montpelier. Proceeds from the event will again fund scholarships for Vermont students. The Board invites nominations from the public for a person or organization that has made a significant and positive impact on the Vermont State Colleges system. We seek nominees whose accomplishments are a reflection of the ideals of the Vermont State Colleges institutions and the system; who have provided exemplary service to the State of Vermont; and/or whose outstanding work has made a significant, positive impact on the Vermont State Colleges system.
