Students with Michael Pollan '76 and Mark Wunderlich Everything Michael Pollan '76 Loved About Bennington College Is Still True

He can’t imagine making a career as innovative as his “had it not been for the Bennington experience.” (Read more on page 28.) So many of you echo that sentiment. Today, I am writing to ask you to translate those feelings into support for Bennington.
