On-Campus Events

We invite you to attend one or more of the numerous campus events that take place at Saint Michael's College throughout the year. Below please find a list of upcoming events.

Fall is a great time to explore colleges, and this fall, you're invited to attend one of our campus visit programs. Come tour our campus and learn more about our academic and co-curricular programs.

These information sessions include a presentation by a member of the admission staff followed by a student led tour of the campus (programs typically last about two hours). Weekend options include a shorter information session followed by a campus tour (programs typically last about an hour and a half).

Dates will be removed from the list when programs become full.

In Masses during the month of November, the Edmundite Community will remember all the deceased members and loved ones of the Saint Michael's College Community. We welcome you to submit names for our prayerful remembrance.

Admission is free, but tickets are required. Call Jane at 802.654.2621 for reservations.

Directed by Professor of Fine Arts Peter Harrigan, this classic 18th century play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan has been transported into the 1960s: "Amadeus" meets "Austin Powers." The director says "We've transported Sheridan's classic, comical language to the groovy milieu of the Swingin' Sixties, proving that treachery and gossip (unfortunately) never go out of style."

"The Color Orange," a fun, vibrant-hip-hop, rap and theater-look at race, racism and the way we get along will feature Mohamed Bilal and Josh Goldstein challenging participants to think critically about American notions of Black and white, Jew and Muslim, urban and suburban.

Bilal and Goldstein use their long-time friendship to create this performance piece using hip-hop, theater, and sheer mayhem to lead to cross-cultural communication and understanding.

Rapper and poet, Bilal, is known for his role on MTV's The Real World. He is dedicated to confronting issues of diversity, AIDS awareness and personal responsibility. His first solo album, beatbox metafiction, has been touted as groundbreaking for its sensitive lyrics and use of world music. His music has been used on TV series Moesha and Kingpin, and the film Drylongso. Hip-hop musician Goldstein has been rapping for over 17 years and has toured with The Souls of Mischief and Del the Funkee Homosapien.
