How Bennington's Unique Writing Class Transforms Student Creativity and Confidence

The Guardian covered visiting faculty member Maboula Soumahoro, whose invitation to speak as part of a European parliament event discussing equality and inclusion in the workplace was rescinded after attacks by the French far right.

The Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences (VAAS) inducted four new fellows for 2024, including anthropologist and Bennington College faculty member Miroslava (Mirka) Prazak.

Faculty member John Umphlett's latest sculpture, Bit Death; Life; He Blows on Them and They Wither, on view at the North Bennington Outdoor Sculpture Show (NBOSS) at the Bennington Museum through November, takes the form of a cross with angled arms–and is designed, too, for Umphlett's own entombment.

This fall, Bennington College welcomes two new faculty members: Alex Creighton, who teaches Critical Writing, and Kaolack Ibrahima Ndiaye, who teaches Africana Dance.
