Testimonial: I came to Saint Michael's in ’96 and haven’t left Vermont since. Being local was the reason for my opportunity at IBM. The broad curriculum at Saint Michael’s, vs. a strictly technical education, provides additional leverage for success at a company as diverse as IBM.

What is your best memory of Saint Michael's? The community. Saint Michael’s has a strong network of faculty and staff, all of which want to see each student succeed in academics and as an individual. For me, Dave Landers and Jo Ellis-Monaghan are two professors that exemplify this.

What makes Saint Michael's different from other colleges? Definitely, the friends I made. I am reminded of them everyday, as I live with two and see many more regularly, especially on the ski slopes.

Do you volunteer your time to Saint Michael's? Yes, in ‘00/’01 I was the assistant alpine ski coach and in ’02 I was the assistant men’s soccer coach. It is an opportunity to still be a part of the community.

What advice do you have for prospective students considering Saint Michael's? Go for it!
