Recently, Champlain College successfully completed the most comprehensive fund-raising campaign in its history, The Power of Three: Giving students room to grow. The campaign was publicly announced May 14, 2002 and ended with $15 million raised towards three building projects, all now built and in use by our students.

To help continue the tradition of excellence and prepare students for the challenges of today’s workplace, Champlain’s Board of Trustees, administration and faculty developed three initiatives central to the College’s mission and future:

Center for Global Business and Technology

Student Life Complex

Main Street Suites and Conference Center

The buildings themselves are only one element of the Champlain vision. Pivotal to the future of the College, these facilities form the foundation for emerging programs and enhanced campus life. Together they herald a new era of extraordinary accomplishment at Champlain.

Quotes of Note

“At a time when even the best endowed schools are cutting back in the belief that educational economics is a “zero sum game,” that the concept of innovation and productivity are not relevant to education, Champlain is demonstrating a creativity and resourcefulness that is a role model for the students, the communities it serves and any other college that wants to try. This type of leadership deserves to be celebrated and replicated. It is exciting and rewarding to help support an institution that can literally change the world.”
