Special Funding Appeal

 
With our campus infection rate well below that of the State overall, and Vermont with the lowest infection rate in the nation, we can confidently say that Champlain's campus is one of the safest in the country. Safety remains our top priority as success rests on our ability to keep our students, faculty and staff healthy.

Maintaining these high standards without missing a beat in delivering the promise of a cutting edge educational experience requires resources beyond any expectation we could have had just a year ago. Our promise to Champlain graduates includes readiness for what the world needs next. That is why I urge all of us to rally around my new initiative, aptly named, Champlain NEXT.

The goal of Champlain NEXT is to raise $6.3 million by the end of June 2021. That's not a lot of time. Like many things at Champlain, this target is audacious. Also like many things at Champlain, with our collective and coordinated response, we will make it happen.

We need your strong support now more than any time in recent history. To preserve the health of our students, faculty and staff while maintaining the institution's pioneering spirit-and to increase the financial strength that under-girds everything we do-we need you to act now.

Our donation page outlines our focus areas for fundraising in 2020.

Audeamus. Let Us Dare.
