Rachel Sayward

Biography

Rachel joined the Housing and Residential Life team as an Area Coordinator in August 2024. In her role as an AC, she oversees several of the beautiful Victorian mansions on campus and with the help of her amazing team of Resident Advisors. Rach loves living on campus, breaking bread with her students, visiting the mansions for her RAs’ programs, and supporting students throughout their college experience. She hopes every eager Champlain beaver takes advantage of their time on campus to live life to the fullest, having fun at campus events and savoring all that Burlington has to offer!

Before landing at Champlain College, she hopscotched around northern New England. Born in Massachusetts but soul-tied to Maine, she attended Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire, where she studied psychology. During her time at FPU, she was a cheerleader, participated in Student Government, and most importantly, served her peers as a Community Assistant (Resident Advisor). After graduation, Rach moved to Vermont to work at Castleton University as an Area Coordinator. At Castleton, she primarily supported first-year students and oversaw gender-inclusive housing. A few years later, feeling a tug in her heart, she moved back to Maine to work at Husson University as a Resident Director. While it was fun to be back in Maine, Rach felt the Green Mountains of Vermont calling to her. Luckily, Champlain welcomed her back to Vermont with open arms!!

When Rach is not in her office or wandering campus, she can often be found crocheting one of her many projects. She loves to spend time with her two cats, Birch and Barbeque; they keep her great company while working on her book club’s next read! Folks walking through Finney Quad may spot her perched in her hammock while reading or crocheting in the sunshine. In the warmth of summer, Rach also loves to go for a swim with the help of her prized possession, a Vermont state park pass!
