BenningtonWorks Admitted Students Day - 2024
Contact:
You are cordially invited to attend BenningtonWorks, an on-campus, day-long celebration of our community, our admitted students, and the ways students and faculty collaborate on campus. The day will include opportunities to have candid conversations with current students, to tour Bennington’s campus, and to meet other students admitted for the Class of 2028 and transferring to Bennington. Above all, this day offers a chance to see, in real time, how Bennington students discover and set a course for a most remarkable life’s work. Session descriptions are available here.
This event is for admitted students and their invited guests only.
