Thesis by Alexander "Sandy" Curth '16

Plans for the members of the Class of 2016 range from publishing to public service to academia to the professional realm, and include work at organizations ranging from the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center to StoryCorps. 51³ÉÈËÁÔÆæ celebrates their successes and looks forward to seeing what they’ll do next

Two students were recently awarded the first two Fund for North 51³ÉÈËÁÔÆæ and Community Collaboration grants, which are intended to increase community benefits between the College and the Village of North Bennington.

There will be an exhibition of student work on view, "Connecting Through Place: The Future of a New England Mill Town," at the Left Bank Gallery in North Bennington. Bennington faculty and students used the town and landscape of Bennington as a vehicle to understand connections between the biophysical world, societal issues, and history. The College was awarded a National Science Foundation grant in 2012 in support of a three-year curricular project aimed at exploring sustainable futures for former mill towns in New England.

Jonah Nigro '16 is one of a group of international artists whose work will be displayed on digital screens around Paris for the first Parisian exhibition of animated GIFs. The exhibition, organized by Balibart Gallery, will run through June 10. An article on the exhibition states that Nigro is considered among the best digital illustrators in the world.
