As we head into our second year as Vermont State University (VTSU), we are reflecting on all of the exciting opportunities and important challenges that came along with this change. Embracing the transformation, our first year was full of remarkable successes and wonderful memories.

Our dedicated faculty and staff have worked tirelessly to unify our academic offerings, and their efforts have led to a promising increase in new student enrollment. Our mission to provide students with the educational experiences needed to thrive in their personal and professional lives has not changed and we are thrilled to start the 2024-25 academic year on such a positive note!

What a privilege to present our most recent findings on infant cognition at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)! Ethan Kile (‘24) and Willow Albee (‘26) presented alongside faculty, graduate students, & post doctoral fellows, explaining what our study found and why it matters. We were equally happy for the opportunity to tour our nation’s capital including the Washington monument, the White House, the Lincoln memorial, the Capitol Building, as well as the Smithsonian museums of natural history 🦕, American history 🇺🇸, & art! 🖼️

Thank you to the National Institute of General Medical Science for funding our work and providing undergraduate students with opportunities to participate in science in meaningful ways.

Last week, VTSU Johnson co-hosted Vermont’s annual Disease and Wildlife Ecology Symposium, which featured work showcased by four Vermont State University students from Castleton and Johnson campuses.

Deacon Watson, a VTSU Castleton student, shared, ‘It is great to collaborate with my fellow peers and present our research in a meaningful forum. Undergrads often don’t get these opportunities, so this is fantastic!’

The symposium emerged from a Disease and Wildlife Thematic Interest Group formed through the Vermont Biomedical Research Network (VBRN), which supports biomedical research at VTSU and other colleges and universities in the state.
