JAYS – Bennington Artisan Market (B.A.M.) presents "My Fleeting Moments," a solo exhibition Mattias Van Cleef '26, from May 1–7 in the storefront windows at 115 South Street in downtown Bennington. An opening reception will be held on Friday, May 1, from 5:00–7:00 pm.

The Bennington College Herbarium was showcased at this year's Northeast Natural History Conference in Burlington, VT.

On Saturday, March 14, Linds Leggett ’27, along with facilitators Beatrix Sherry ’26 and Carissa K. Lombardi '26, joined nearly a dozen participants in the Admissions Parlor for a restorative justice circle combined with succulent planting. The event, part of the Restorative Justice Collective’s Pi Day celebration, centered on building community. 

During the fall term, Brennan Eberwine ’27 spent Thursday afternoons in the East Academic Center at Bennington College for Journalism & Democracy. He and his eleven classmates, under the direction of Brian Campion, faculty member in the Center for the Advancement of Public Action, met with journalists, read and reflected on news stories, and, outside of class, contributed as journalists to the Bennington Banner.

This past summer, Willa Donovan ’26 joined Bennington faculty member in Ecology Caitlin McDonough MacKenzie and teams from the University of Maine and the University of Vermont as a research assistant. Donovan contributed to the multi-year project examining how northeastern alpine plant communities are changing as the climate warms.
