"As a recent graduate of VCFA's MFA program and the post-graduate Picture Book Certificate Program, I can say that I have never looked back. In addition to the knowledge and life-long friendships I've gained as a result of my Vermont College experience, I've seen remarkable growth in my ability to teach the craft of writing to students. Without a doubt, Vermont College of Fine Arts' MFA program has made me a better writer and a better teacher."
VCFA's own Syd Lea was named Vermont's poet laureate last Friday in a ceremony at the Vermont State House. Louise Crowley was there and reports, "each of his 5 children read some of his poems at the ceremony on Friday night; it was truly lovely! "
