THE BIG EVENT!

 On Monday June 11th, Global Campuses Bradford, Randolph, and Moretown celebrated their 5th year anniversary at The Big Event, presented by Global Campuses Foundation. The assembled audience of Campus Ambassadors, friends, family, and dignitaries rose as the campus participants proceeded in to the hall at Our Lady of the Angels Church in Randolph, accompanied by live music performed by Tony Mason. Susan Wehry, M.D, the commissioner for DAIL, opened the morning ceremony with a heartfelt speech congratulating the campus participants on their success, excellent reputation, and hard work. Jim and Sheryl Tewksbury, and Andreas John also shared their praise, congratulations and reflections on the impact the campus participants have created in their communities over the past five years. Bill Ashe, Executive Director of Upper Valley Services, Dennis Gray, Director of UVS Moretown, Joan Carman, Director of UVS Randolph, and Lorraine Gaboriault, Director of UVS Bradford, were all presented with certificates recognizing their unique contributions to the successful five year partnership of GCF and UVS. Jason Richardson, CFO of ARIS Solutions, was presented with the Global Vision Award for his continued commitment and dynamic engagement with GCF. 
 Later in the ceremony each campus was recognized as a group and then each participant came to the front to receive a transcript, detailing the classes they attended at their campus over the past five years. Faculty participants also received a faculty portfolio, with a description of the classes they taught over that same time period. 
The morning ceremony came to a close with loud applause, cake, and many personal congratulations for each campus participant. After the ceremony, the Campus Ambassadors representing the eight VT and NH Global Campuses, enjoyed a lunch together and spent time sharing their work and planning for future Campus-to-Campus Connections events.
Congratulations to all the Campus Participants and Resource Persons who are a part of the Global Campus Communities in Bradford, Randolph, and Moretown. You are all amazing!
