What began as an ambitious effort to expand nursing education at our Johnson campus has resulted in a state-of-the-art learning environment. With modern labs and classrooms, our future nurses are gaining the hands-on experience and confidence needed to meet the growing demand.

Today marks 25 years since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. We honor those who were lost and remember all whose lives were forever changed. As we reflect, we are reminded of the strength found in community and the simple truth that there is far more that connects us than separates us.

White text reads, "September 11, 2001." Near the bottom, the Vermont State University logo appears above the words, "We remember. We honor. We will never forget."
