Rugby Weekend!

This past weekend JSC Rugby celebrated 40 years here at the college in a big way! We had an alumni game, and home games for both the current men's and women's clubs. There were also shirts for sale, and a huge BBQ!

Our lovely mascot. ^

Boston Trip!

Every year there is a forum for Students in Admissions and this year I was lucky enough to be invited to go! I went with my roommate, Warren, to represent the Tour Guides and my dear friend Amara who represented out Student Ambassador Club. We also had our boss Joye, and her daughter-in-law Lizi as some more great company.

This year the forum was held at Northeastern University in Boston, Mass. on September 11, so we went down the day before to get a taste of the city! Enjoy!

And it was amazing. ^

Such a good dessert too! ^

Amara and I had to go on the carousel. ^

Pinkberry. Something we do not have here in Vermont but I was introduced to when I went to NYC on my BreakAway trip my freshman year. This is the first time I had it since that trip. ^

But, as fun as our trip was, it was a relief to see the mountains and beautiful sun sets of Vermont once again. ^

Flooding

Hurricane Irene hit Vermont pretty hard. The school has been working to help everyone effected by the flood. I was unable to volunteer the day that many people from the college went so I went with a recent graduate to help up one day a few towns over. Here are some photos:

You can see how high the water got on this Hydrangea bush. ^

Another good example of how high the water got. ^

My "tools" for the day. ^

After five hours of work. I am all the way to the right, and the one next to me is the recent graduate. ^

I have an app on my phone that can take 360 pictures so I was playing around with it on campus!

this picture gives you an idea of where the new Bell Tower is located!

The New Bell Tower!

Here's the new addition to the JSC Campus! The newly installed bell/clock tower is right on the quad.

Favorite thing about JSC? The view!
