We "Slam" in Verse!

VA Partners With Middlebury

Descriptive phrases flew fast and furiously as ten Vermont Academy students and one faculty member participated in the first campus-wide poetry slam, moderated by Geof Hewitt, the "Slam Poet Laureate of Vermont" on May 6. Each contestant brought an original piece of poetry, performed it on stage in front of the VA community, and waited as they were rated by several of their peers in the audience. The judging was tough but when the dust settled, junior Molly Brennan had taken top honors.   See Molly's performance >

If looking for evidence of continued growth in VA's athletics, look no further than the number of Wildcats moving on to competition at the next level. Well over a third of the Class of 2013 will be playing in college come next year. Vermont Academy Athletic Director Mike Atkins is impressed. "This is by far the most students we have committed to college sports in some time. We wish them all the luck as they move on." In this week's edition of The Wildcat Insider, Vermont Academy's new athletic blog, we take a look at these athletes and where they are headed.   Read The Wildcat Insider >
