“I am proud to have snowboarding representing
Vermont in the Innovation 1 program,”

“In many ways, Vermont is the birthplace
of modern snowboarding, and this coin represents
Vermont’s contributions to the sport,
from physical innovations in boards and bindings
to the creativity and athleticism showcased
by Vermontersand others who train in
the reen Mountainsin competition

Preservation Trust of Vermont Awarded
Funding for 2022 Bruhn Grants
The Preservation Trust of Vermont has
been awarded 659,000 from the Paul Bruhn
Historic Revitalization rant Program grant,
administered by the National Park Service.
These grants mark the third year of funding
for the program named in honor of the late
Paul Bruhn, president of the Preservation
Trust of Vermont for nearly 40 years. Subgrants
awarded by the Preservation Trust will
support preservation projects in rural Vermont.
As Vice Chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, Senator Patrick Leahy
created and named the 7.5 million annual
program to support rural communities working
to revitalize historic properties in their
communities of national, state and local significance
in order to restore, protect and foster
economic development in rural villages and
downtown areas.
Of the award to the Preservation Trust of
Vermont, Senator Leahy said: “As I know
from my long friendship and partnership with
Paul Bruhn, Vermont’s historic structures are
crucial to preserving the identity of our local
communities and to energizing our economy.
This award will allow the Preservation Trust
to help more Vermont communities activate
these spaces, keeping their downtowns and
village centers vibrant places where Vermonters
can meet their neighbors.”
“The Preservation Trust of Vermont is
deeply honored to be entrusted with this
funding from the National Parks Service,”
said Ben Doyle, President of the Preservation
Trust. “We are excited to fund projects
around Vermont that will revitalize communities,
help save the buildings Vermonters love,
and create new economic activity. This award
is a testament to the hard work of community
leaders engaged in preservation projects and
to Senator Leahy’s leadership that has made
the program possible.”
Congress appropriates funding for the program
through the Historic Preservation Fund
(HPF). The HPF uses revenue from federal oil
leases on the Outer Continental Shelf, providing
assistance for a broad range of preservation
projects without expending tax dollars.
The program is administered by the National
Park Service, Department of the Interior.

Castleton University, Northern Vermont
University, and Vermont Technical College to
Unify as Vermont State University
The Board of Trustees of the Vermont
State Colleges System (VSCS) approved the
name Vermont State niversity for the one
new university unifying Castleton niversity,
Northern Vermont niversity, and Vermont
Technical College.
“The establishment of the nameVermont
State niversityis a pivotal point
in the creation of our new and innovative
university,” stated Board of Trustees Chair
Lynn Dickinson. “Vermont State niversity
capitalizes on the nationally and internationally
known Vermont brand and highlights our
connection to the state as a public higher education
institution. In establishing the identity
of the new institution, this is the first step. We
are looking forward to the continued work
over the next several months on the additional
critical elements of the brand identity
of Vermont State niversity: the mission, vision,
brand identity, and academic structure.”
She continued, “the VSCS Board of Trustees
is committed to fully unifying Castleton
niversity, Northern Vermont niversity,
and Vermont Technical College. With the
guidance, support, and financial investment
of the state, the Board of Trustees plans to
accomplish a unification that expands opportunities
for learners throughout the state,
restructures the system for financial success,
and retains our current campus locations and
thus our commitment to serving Vermont’s
rural communities.”
Chancellor Sophie datny noted, “the
establishment of Vermont State niversity
is an opportunity to fully unify our three
residential institutions. It is essential that
we do so in a strategic and thoughtful way.
Extensive research, including feedback from
over 3,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni,
administrators, and community partners, was
done to inform the name recommendation.
This research was crucial to establishing the
unifying name and will continue to be used
in the coming months as we do further work
on the mission, vision, and brand identity of
Vermont State niversity.”
“One key takeaway from the research done
is the importance of innovation and technology
with a focus on the future,” she added.
“Another is how embedded Vermont is in
our collective identity through our workforce
partners, applied learning opportunities, our
local communities and alumni, and connection
to the state. The importance of the word
niversity’ to convey the variety, strength,
quality, and prestige of the education provided
was another key indicator. Vermont State
niversity gives us incredible flexibility in
bringing the brand identity of the new university
to life. In the coming months, we will
be continuing the exciting work of establishing
a unified brand identity for Vermont State
niversity.”
Vermont State niversity will launch July
1, 2023 with recruitment for the first class to
begin in fall 2022. Once the new university
is established, the VSCS will consist of Vermont
State niversity and Community College
of Vermont.
The Vermont State Colleges System, with
the guidance and direction of the state, began
working on system transformation and the
unification of the three residential colleges
last year. In Act 74 of the 2021 legislative
session, the state mandated system transformation
and integration while also committing
to stronger funding of the system, the
member institutions, and Vermont students.
