Parents and Students! Dual Enrollment Workshop - Thursday, 1/12/2016 in the Hazen Library
Want to learn about your college options –while you’re in high school? Come to VSAC and CCV’s Dual Enrollment Workshop!
Vermont’s Dual Enrollment Program
Vermont’s Dual Enrollment program offers Vermont high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn up to six college credits. That means your credits help you finish high school and start college, all at the same time.
Introduction to College Studies
CCV offers a free, non-credit Introduction to College Studies (ICS) course for high school students each semester. ICS prepares you for college by helping you set goals, problem-solve, manage time and stress, improve communication skills, take better notes, reduce test anxiety, and plan financially.
Fast Forward Program for Technical Center Students
The Fast Forward program helps students in technical center programs earn college credit while they are still in high school and prepares them to enroll in college degree programs. Students earn credit toward their technical center program and college credit at the same time.
Early College
The Early College Program allows you to spend your senior year earning college credits that help you graduate and get a jump on your college degree, tuition free. Students in this program enroll fulltime by taking 4 –5 college level classes during the fall and spring of their senior year for a total of 8 –10 classes (24+ credits).

IBL Project Idea: Work for WGDH-Goddard College Community Radio
Goddard College Community Radio is looking for a volunteer to help compile its community calendar. This is an opportunity to help local people find events they’re interested in and for event organizers to get the word out to the community. Each week, programmers let listeners of WGDR Plainfield (91.1 FM) and WGDH Hardwick (91.7 FM) know about events happening in our listening area. We get many notices sent to us that we are unable to include in the community calendar, because we lack a volunteer to compile them.
You can do the work from home or at the station; training will be provided. Intermediate or better computer skills are a must. If interested, please contact Jen Olson.
