A Green Mountain College Resurrection?
## A Green Mountain College Resurrection? The Latest Attempt to Revive a Vermont Institution The story of Green Mountain College, shuttered in 2019 after decades of financial struggles, isn't quite over. A new effort, spearheaded by evangelist and entrepreneur David Moeller, aims to resurrect the rural Vermont campus. The plan, currently shrouded in a degree of ambiguity regarding finances and specific strategy, has sparked both cautious optimism and significant questions within the higher education landscape. Moeller's vision involves re-establishing Green Mountain College as a Christian liberal arts institution, drawing parallels to his previous, and ultimately unsuccessful, attempt to revive the University of Valley Forge. This past experience—detailed in our earlier report, "University of Valley Forge to Close"—has understandably raised concerns about the viability of his current approach. Key areas of uncertainty include securing sustainable funding, attracting a viable student body, and developing a curriculum that aligns with both Moeller's vision and the needs of today’s students. While the prospect of breathing new life into a historic Vermont campus is appealing, the details remain scarce. The success of this endeavor hinges on a clear, well-funded plan—one that addresses the challenges that led to Green Mountain College's initial closure. We’ll continue to follow this developing story, providing updates as more information becomes available.
