The National Trust of Historic Preservation included Bennington’s Crossett Library on its list of “Six Midcentury Modern Campus Buildings You Need to Visit.”

President Silver was among several college presidents who signed a letter published in the Wall Street Journal which pointed out how ranking rules exclude “some of the most outstanding small colleges in the country.”

Bennington ranks among the 15 most beautiful college campuses, according to Expedia. The travel site based its rankings on "five categories that add a sense of beauty to the college experience, some of which includes those eye-pleasing elements, but also abstract factors that are more about feeling than seeing the beauty."

Bennington, Vermont is among the best small college towns in America, according to Schools.com. The college guide ranked Bennington 15th out of 170 college communities with populations of fewer than 150,000 residents.

Bennington College presents an exhibition and lecture by critically acclaimed media artist Alexandra Bell. Bell is known for her “Counternarratives” project of supersized New York Times articles edited to reveal biases and assumptions about race and gender. Usually posted one work at a time around everyday locations in New York City, her “Counternarratives” prints will appear at Bennington as a series of four installed on building exteriors around campus.
