Looking back on 2024, we are incredibly proud of all that we’ve accomplished. And we couldn’t have done any of it without the support of all of you.
We are grateful for all the support we have received from our donors, partners, and the community. We are especially grateful for the continued support of the National Science Foundation, Norwich Technologies, and our individual donors.
Expanding Our Team
In September, Greenway added two incredible members to our team! Annick Dewald (left) joined as a founding faculty member and Mark Somerville (right) took the helm as Greenway’s President. You can read more about them on Our Team page.
Becoming Part of the Local Community
We are also grateful for the amazing community surrounding Greenway. In addition to our engineering program development work, we’ve made some incredible community partnerships.
- We’ve been able to offer workforce housing to Vermont legislators, Cabot employees, and SerVermont corps members.
- We’ve supported some incredible community events, including the Green Mountain Film Festival, performances at our neighboring Montpelier Performing Arts Hub, Montpelier’s July 3rd Celebration, and weekly meetups of the Good BeginningsCaregiver Baby Circles.
- Over the summer we hosted The Governor’s Institutes of Vermont – Global Issues & Youth Action program.
- Greenway was the site for a number of Generator’s VT Makerschool teacher workshops.
- We even co-hosted Illumination Night with VCFA & the Montpelier Performing Arts Hub – a December tradition of bringing together community.
- Greenway President Mark Somerville spoke on the importance of workforce development in Vermont at REV.
We’re looking forward to sharing about more community partnerships beginning in 2025!
Looking Ahead
Greenway will have more students in January 2025! We are so excited to welcome another cohort to pilot the work-integrated learning portion of Greenway’s vision.
We Need Your Support
Greenway’s program invites and supports students from our rural communities, creating opportunity and growth here at home. Our program deeply integrates learning with the workplace, so that we not only help Vermont businesses grow, but also help Vermont students acquire the skills they need while graduating on time and without debt. Greenway’s program is built around the idea that sustainability should be a core competency for engineers, not just an afterthought.
As we close out 2024, we hope you’ll make a contribution to support Greenway’s work to launch a hands-on, work-integrated, and debt-free engineering program here in Vermont.
