Bennington staff, faculty, and students gathered in Greenwall Auditorium yesterday to welcome the class of 2020 to the College with musical performances, speeches, and faculty on stilts. 

The Princeton Review released its ranking for the top 381 colleges in America, and Bennington scored big in several categories. Bennington was also selected to appear in Princeton's 2017 Best Northeastern Colleges List, which includes the schools that it considers "academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search," as well as in their "Green Schools" list.

Following about Bennington’s Prison Education Initiative (PEI), the Glens Falls Post-Star published calling the program “a model for inmate education.” The editorial cited US incarceration rates and argued “We cannot afford to write off that many people.”

Bennington's Prison Education Initiative (PEI) was the subject of a recent article in the Post Star. The article spoke highly of the initiative's positive results on the lives and prospects of the inmates that participate in the program.

The Rumpus published a piece on The Bennington Review in their "This Week in Short Fiction" section. The article had only good things to say about the newly revived magazine, and especially praised their choice to include "The Pariah and I" by Porochista Khakpoor, as well as  the journal's inclusive mission statement.
