Plainfield, Vt. (PRWEB) May 06, 2011
Goddard College will inaugurate Dr. Barbara Vacarr as its 10th president on Saturday, May 7 at 2:00 PM in the Upper Garden of its main campus in Plainfield, Vermont. The ceremony is open to the public, and a 3:15 reception will follow on the campus Clockhouse Lawn.
Governor Peter Shumlin will attend and speak at the event.
Goddard College is experiencing renewed financial stability and institutional strength. The college today reports the highest enrollment it has seen in 30 years, it has a healthy contingency fund, and recently received its first 10-year accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
Goddard was founded to be an experimenting college, and is always adapting, ready and receptive to change, said Vacarr. We are an adult-learning, low-residency college. This model reflects the needs of modern students. As we approach our 150th anniversary, we have a tremendous opportunity for sustainable growth. Its an exciting time to be here.
Vacarr assumed leadership of the college in July 2010, after a year-long search to replace Dr. Mark Schulman, who served as president from 2003-2010.
We just launched the nations first low-residency BA in Sustainability, said Vacarr. As enrollment at Goddard continues to grow, both in Plainfield, VT and Port Townsend, WA, we will continue to launch new educational experiments.
Goddard offers BA, BFA, MA and MFA degree programs in Individualized Studies, Interdisciplinary Arts, Creative Writing, Psychology, Sustainable Business and Communities, Education and Licensure, Sustainability and Health Arts and Sciences.
Vacarr holds a PhD in psychology from Union Institute and University, and is a published scholar on the subjects of Adult Learning and Diversity Education. She comes to Goddard after a 23 year tenure as a faculty member and administrator at Lesley University, where she designed the Adult Learning PhD program and directed all of the PhD programs in the School of Education.
She is the founder and senior leader of an Intergenerational Womens Mentoring Collective. Vacarr also served as an interviewer for Steven Spielbergs Visual History of the Shoah Project, Project Leader for the Cambodian Youth and Missing History Project and speaker for the international educational organization Facing History and Ourselves.
The inauguration will include a keynote address by Margot Stern Strom, founder and executive director of Facing History and Ourselves, a leading international organization in education for justice and the preservation of democracy.
