As we count down the days to Commencement Weekend, we’ll be taking time each day to celebrate VTSU’s incredible, Class of 2024 for all the ways they have learned, adapted, persisted, and achieved throughout their time in our educational community!
We’ve asked faculty, staff, students, alumni, and supporters to share photos, videos, and memories highlighting the many successes of this #firstclass of VTSU graduates.
We’re honoring the grit, grace, and gumption they have shown through a global pandemic; alongside fast-changing cultural, and environmental landscapes; an evolving institution, and a new perspective; high water marks, high snow drifts, high hopes, high-fives, and much more.
A few weeks ago, we asked faculty and staff at all Vermont State University campuses and learning sites to submit content to be featured in a photo and video slideshow looking back on our inaugural class and our first year at Vermont State University. VTSU Lyndon senior Chris Finn, of the Music Business & Industry program, provided the soundtrack with an instrumental version of his song “Here Now”. We hope you enjoy and we look forward to celebrating with everyone this weekend!
We’re almost there! Commencement Weekend kicks off Saturday morning in Castleton and ends Sunday evening at Lyndon. For many graduates, these places will always feel like home. Enjoy the moment and we’ll see you this weekend!
Class of 2024! Welcome to the Vermont State University alumni family! We are so proud of your accomplishments.
The education you received on our campuses will be key to your success in all of your future endeavors. Many of the friendships you’ve made will last a lifetime.
We hope you will become an engaged member of your alumni association and help support future students on your campus. Whether you are a Spartan, Badger, Hornet, or Knight, you belong to a long line of proud alumni. We hope you will carry on that legacy.
Commencement is this weekend! To celebrate, we’re announcing a very special honorary degree recipient. Max the Cat has been an affectionate member of the Castleton family for the past four years. He lives with his wonderful owners on Seminary Street and loves socializing with friends outside Leavenworth. While his adventures may have slowed, Max exemplifies the #CastletonWay and we are honored to have him as a member of VTSU’s #firstclass.
“With a resounding purr of approval from the faculty, the Board of Trustees of the Vermont State Cat-leges has bestowed upon Max Dow the prestigious title of Doctor of Litter-ature, complete with all the catnip perks, scratching post privileges, and litter box responsibilities that come with it.”
Congratulations Dr. Max Dow!

As we prepare to honor the #Classof2024 next weekend, we’d like to celebrate the members of VTSU’s #firstclass that have already graduated! The December 2023 graduates were an important part of our unification at VTSU. As they’ve historically done, Johnson and Lyndon campuses held small ceremonies for these students
Congratulations to ALL of our December 2023 gradates!

Countdown to Commencement Weekend continues, with a shout out to the determination and resilience of VTSU’s #firstclass. This group of students forged ahead with their educational plans right in the middle of a global pandemic! Their first year was punctuated with intermittent remote classes and making new friends and connections while masking and maintaining physical distance.
The #classof2024 is inspiring.
To Vermont State University’s #firstclass of graduates – THANK YOU.
Thank you for all the ways you have served and strengthened our community, and for all the ways we know your positive impact will continue to grow and expand as you share your knowledge, skills, and gifts with your own communities and future generations of Vermont State University students.
