Around the NEK – The Vermont State College System Board of Trustees met on Monday to discuss the future of three of its schools.

The board met up early this morning at the Lake Morey Resortto continue to discussthe intial process of merging Northern Vermont University, Castleton, and Vermont Technical College into one college. Representative Eileen Dickinson spoke of the meeting as well as the process to merge the schools and states “It involved both the student experience, the academic experience we hired another consultant (RPK) to work with our faculty and across the system. They came out and gave us a really good presentation and then of course the finances which is the really important piece because we really do have to find a way that we’re financially stable and to make it more affordable for students.”

The merge won’t officially start until the 2023-24 Academic year.
