We are all back in the office this week to organize the Open House on Saturday. Fingers are crossed for a perfect day.
First of all, we have had to move the campus location because of the large number of rsvp’s. What a great problem! Usually we have about 60 participants; this year we are anticipating [...]

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 [...]

In the fall of 2008, as Vermont Law School student Lise Daniels was beginning her second year of law school, the mother of four saw a need for lower-income legal aid in her rural New Hampshire community. Daniels’ Schweitzer project, which [...]

I recently finished a recruiting trip in Upstate NY. I made it to Buffalo, Rochester, Ithaca, Cornell, Binghamton, Syracuse, Colgate, Albany, and Potsdam. This was my first “big” trip, and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted with an abundance of recognition from the many students 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 [...]

The office has emerged from an intense week long training with LSAC. We were introduced to our new software as Kathy explained in a previous post, and are now one of the handful of schools who have taken the leap to a paperless admissions office. This is so important for who we are, an institution [...]

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 [...]
