Sam Bowers

He/Him

STEM Development Coordinator

I started working with Vermont State University over the summer of 2023, and I will be splitting time between Williston and Randolph campuses as the STEM Development Coordinator.

Before I began here, I was a private tutor, a high school math teacher (and soccer and basketball coach), a high school instructional coach, and a K-8 instructional coach. I also worked with TRIO Upward Bound in the summers.

My wife, toddler, and I moved from Maine to Vermont in 2022 to be closer to family and the mountains.

I’m thrilled to be here and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with colleagues and students!
