Every Wednesday afternoon, from the late spring through mid-fall, half of the marketing and communications staff at Saint Michael’s (Buff Lindau, Brian MacDonald and I) stopped what we were doing in Prevel Hall and hurried across campus to pick up our orange baskets from the Food Hub and load the contents into a variety of [...]

The Magazine, Online, or not

Greetings, readers of Saint Michael’s College Magazine, Apologies coming from the busy west wing in Prevel Hall for the lack of recent issues of Saint Michael’s College Magazine being posted online here. It’s not for lack of intention or desire, but simply a lack of time that has kept us from keeping this site as [...]

By Caroline Crawford, Editor Fall came quickly this year. It’s an interesting quirk of college life at Saint Michael’s that the academic year ends in mid-May, just about the time the weather is becoming reliably good. The campus is greening up into its most lush and verdant state just as the residence halls empty out [...]
Schools of Thought

I grew up in New York City, so you would think I would know something about diversity in public schools.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting in my third-grade son’s class for what was dubbed “A Writer’s Celebration.” What was remarkable to me, on top of the sweet, poignant and insightful writing that these eight- and nine-year-olds were sharing, was the fact that they used Adobe’s Audition software, a highly innovative program for audio, [...]

By Caroline Crawford, Editor Some stories that I work on for the magazine affect me more than others.

In The Margins By Caroline Crawford, Editor The view outside my window in Prevel Hall was peaceful—a ridge of trees and a sloping hill, a constantly updated measure of changing seasons as well as an often surprising opportunity for wildlife sightings (as many readers may remember, a young moose was hanging around outside my window [...]

Editor’s Note – The Unexpected
Posted in Editor's Note, Spring, Spring 2008, tagged Caroline Crawford on June 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
By Caroline Crawford Spring is always a time for discovery, especially here in northern Vermont, where what can feel like an endless wait for the first signs of spring can be slightly bolstered by declarations of, “I think the grass is turning green over there,” or “I saw a crocus at the edge of that [...]
