It is now November 3rd, the first work day since the time change. I must say that the hardest adjustment I had to make when I moved from Florida to Vermont was how early it gets dark. It is 4:39 and the sky is dusk. By 5:00 it will be completely dark – and it [...]

Yes, I know that I have been very slack the with the blog postings. The fall is incredibly busy for admissions people because we are traveling all over the country. Last week was especially cool for me because it was a driving trip rather than dealing with the airlines and I love to drive.
When I [...]

Today was the LSAT exam. Earlier this week, I posted that we had 74 test takers registered, it was actually 72. I knew that we had a number of overflow testers from other sites because people were calling from Hanover (Dartmouth) and Boston. However, when I arrived at the school this morning at 7 am, [...]

Last week I was down in Central Florida – my old stomping grounds – to visit undergraduate campuses. On one hand, it felt like home again (I did live there for 16 years), but it also felt different. The construction never ends. Every place I went was just enough different to be confusing with new [...]

Part of the richness of the VLS community is our diversity and the interest in sharing who we are with each other. The student organizations lead by providing really great events. The wonderful problem is having to choose from numerous options!
Just one example: This is an email that went out on campus yesterday, advertising an [...]

If you have been reading the student blogs, you can easily see that the first two weeks of classes have been a whirlwind of activities – both academic and fun. As I mentioned in my last posting, the admissions staff spent last week in training. Corey from LSAC was on campus to teach us the [...]

The Admissions Office will be closed Monday through Thursday next week. Technical staff from LSAC will be in the office as we convert to a new admissions database – and then learn how to utilize it. As time permits, we will check e-mail and phone messages first thing in the morning and then at the [...]

The first morning of Orientation, when I am standing up in front of the new class, staff and faculty for the “welcome” speech is absolutely my favorite moment of the school year.
Today was no different. It was a glorious summer morning, the fog was burning off and the mountains were magnificently green. In front of [...]
The new students are moving to Vermont now; many are checking in with the Admissions Office just to say hi and to see what else they need to do before school starts.
We are so happy to see them. This year has been a long journey both for the applicants and for those [...]
