Green Mountain Business Expo a Success

JSC Participants in the Expo

Dibden Center for the Arts Director Jan Herder, who helped coordinate the Green Mountain Business Expo on November 9, 2010, reports the event was a big success. He writes:


A big shout out and thanks to all the students and staff who helped make the Green Mountain Business Expo a success! Special thanks to Heidi Wrighton and Renate Callahan.  Jim Black’s business students helped exhibitors load in and out—we received many compliments, and great feedback about our students from JSC Alum’s, including our new Lamoille Senator,  Richard Westman.


The JSC booth was staffed by students Warren Ramsey, representing the Business and Hospitality Program, Hillary Seel for the Eco-reps and Green Solutions Club, and Henry Meola representing Technical Theater. Potential employers were impressed with the professionalism, technical skills and civic engagement that our students demonstrated.

JSC Slides Past VTC in Blood Drive!

On Wednesday, October 20, JSC community members stopped by SHAPE to donate blood during the college's bi-annual blood drive. Kelly Palmer, assistant director of community service at JSC reports: 

As you know, we were going for the "all time record".... we didn't beat JSC's all time record of 180, but we did beat our record since 1998  with 133 productive units of blood. That means that 133 units of blood are usable to patients in need. For every unit/pint of blood there is a potential to save 3 people's lives. We had many more walk through the door and I appreciate everyone's effort in trying to be a part of this important event, especially when the American Red Cross has a critical need right now. They send their appreciation as well.

Our next blood drive is scheduled for March.
