Vermont Edition Live In Rutland

Three VERMONT COLLEGES HAVE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THEY ARE CLOSING THEIR DOORS THIS YEAR. Join us on Wednesday, May 22 for a live broadcast of _Vermont Edition_ [https://www.vpr.org/programs/vermont-edition#stream/2] from the Rutland Free Library [https://www.rutlandfree.org/]__ to take a look at the circumstances that led to the closure of these schools. In this noontime broadcast, we'll look at the struggles of small colleges in VERMONT AND THE EFFECTS THESE CLOSURES WILL HAVE ON THE SCHOOLS' STUDENTS AND STAFF AND THE COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING THE INSTITUTIONS. You'll have a chance to submit your questions for our guests. The broadcast will take place in the Nella Grimm Fox room. This all-ages event is free and open to the public, but please reserve your seat in advance. _Photo information: From left, Green Mountain College (Nina Keck/VPR), College of St. Joseph (Nina Keck/VPR), and Southern Vermont College (courtesy photo)._ FAQ TIME: 11:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m., doors open at 11:15 LOCATION: Nella Grimm Fox room at the Rutland Free Library, 10 Court Street, Rutland, VT [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rutland+Free+Library/@43.607235,-72.9774467,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e024617f2f5a7b:0xff0a7d1ea8b03760!8m2!3d43.607235!4d-72.975258] AGENDA: 11:15 a.m. - Doors open for Nella Grimm Fox room (library opens at 10:00 a.m.) 11:45 a.m. - Everyone must be seated and ready for broadcast 12:00 p.m. - Doors are closed, broadcast begins 1:00 p.m. - Broadcast concludes IS THERE A COST TO ATTEND?
