Saint Michael's College Saint Michael's is a selective liberal arts college of approximately 1,200 students, on a scenic 440-acre campus near Burlington, Vermont. Not only are St. St.

At Saint Michael's College, students are welcomed by a community that feels like family and a campus that feels like home; every faith background, culture, and identity are embraced. From day one, students begin the journey to discover and pursue their purpose so they can achieve successful careers and fulfilling lives. We call this Purposeful Learning – an engaging four-year experience that begins in the student’s first year with programming that aids in the transition from high school to college. Students are assigned a faculty academic advisor, a career coach, and a success advisor and they’re given the tools to create lifelong habits of healthy living and to create positive global change through service and social impact. Mike’s students engaged with one another, with their classes, their faculty, with clubs, and with issues they care deeply about, they are also encouraged to pursue their passions and uncover new ones. Students live on campus all four years which means campus is vibrant, engaged, and always buzzing with activities, clubs, and events, seven days a week. Mike's is located just outside of Burlington, Vermont, a quintessential beautiful college town located between Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains, and less than two hours from Montreal, Quebec in Canada. With the College's location in Vermont's largest city, opportunity is well within reach – from outdoor adventure, to working on restoring ecosystems, to a wide variety of internships and job opportunities. A liberal arts college, students are intellectually stimulated and inspired by a variety of disciplines, in addition to their major, providing flexibility so that students are better prepared not only for their first job, but for an employment marketplace that is constantly evolving.

It was a great evening at Pasta with the Plumbs last Friday! Members of the Student Government Association E-Board joined President Richard Plumb and Mary Plumb for a relaxed dinner filled with great food, conversation, and connection outside the classroom.

One of the best parts of this tradition is that it starts with students themselves, who reach out directly to President Plumb and Mary to arrange these gatherings. It's a wonderful example of the accessibility, relationships, and sense of community that make Saint Michael's so special.

Thank you to the Plumbs for their generous hospitality. Stay tuned, there may be more Pasta with the Plumbs on the menu soon!

Fr. David Theroux, our inaugural Vice President of Edmundite Mission, says his time in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a highlight of his life in the Society of Saint Edmund. He helped found Bishop Perry Middle School in 1994, which was named for the Archdiocese of New Orleans' first Black bishop. Over his decades with the Society, Fr. David described his ministry in New Orleans as one of the times he most felt like he was "acting like an Edmundite."

Fr. David's story is part of a longer documentary on the history and legacy of the Society of Saint Edmund. We will be posting clips from the documentary weekly until the Feast of Saint Edmund in November.

Professor of Chemistry Megan Browning spent a year perfecting a bubble solution to help bring concepts in climate modeling to life. 🫧

Working with Professor of Physics Brandon Montemuro, Browning uses the giant bubbles to demonstrate atmospheric flow and the Marangoni effect, the movement of liquid driven by differences in surface tension.

The secret to these massive bubbles? A carefully perfected mixture of dish soap, glycerol, and surgical-grade lubricants, developed through a year of experimentation! 🔬

Have you ever walked through a museum and noticed that there’s little diversity in the portraits? Just kings, queens, and presidents hanging up for all to see.

Dominic Douglass ’27 certainly did, and that’s what his undergraduate art research focused on this summer. He’s painting portraits of underrepresented workers in his community, shedding light on historic inequalities in the art world.
