| Join us for Family Weekend and explore the Champlain your student has come to love!There's no place like Vermont in autumn. Our Family Weekend is at the beginning of peak foliage season in New England. We’ve planned a rewarding weekend full of activities and opportunities for you to spend time with your student on campus and in the beautiful city of Burlington. Starting with a 'Taste of Vermont' welcome reception on Friday night, you’ll have time to connect with other families, get to know our faculty and staff, and spend plenty of quality time with your Champlain student. On Friday evening, hear from keynote speaker Steve Liguori, Founder and CEO of Liguori Innovation, whose distinctions include serving as GE’s Executive Director of Global Innovation and launching the Super Bowl halftime show with Michael Jackson. On Saturday, you will hear from our President, Donald J. Laackman, and are invited to celebrate Family Weekend and the culmination of a successful Spirit Week at a family-friendly carnival. Throughout the weekend, you will have the chance to enjoy presentations on various topics, from studying abroad to our Life Experience & Action Dimension (LEAD) Program. There will also be ample time to explore downtown Burlington and the waterfront, and enjoy entertainment from some of Champlain's best and brightest students.

| Have Anya or Paige Called You Yet?
It's that time of year again! Anya, Paige, and their band of merry Ambassadors are getting ready to start our Fall phonathon in support of the Champlain Annual Fund. When you see a call coming from Champlain, please pick it up. It could be Anya, Paige, or another of their friendly and dedicated student Ambassadors.

| Every year, gifts to the Annual Fund change lives in meaningful ways. Although the Annual Fund always plays a critical role in the amount of scholarship support Champlain offers each year, its reach does not end there. As a donor, you can empower a student to travel abroad for a semester. You can be part of the safety-net in case of student emergencies or sudden hardship. Whatever difference you want to make at Champlain, Anya and Paige’s team can help you do it!
Don’t have time to talk on the phone? Make your gift now online, and we won’t call. You can also go to our website to learn about scholarships and other ways we use the Annual Fund to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.
