Save Goddard College

We are dedicated to building a forward looking, inclusive community.

We are alumni, faculty, and students who oppose Goddard’s closing and the sale of its land, buildings, and programs to any entity.

Our goal is to continue the mission, vision, and non-profit status of Goddard College, stabilize its financial standing, preserve the Plainfield, Vermont campus, continue accreditation of programs that confer baccalaureate and master’s degrees, and rebuild academic programs through interactive, self-directed learning.This includes supporting commitments made to faculty, staff, and community by the outgoing Goddard Trustees and Administration.

Plainfield, Vermont

A sense of place and the importance of the natural world has always been a key aspect of the Goddard experience. Sustaining the commitment to the physical campus, in Plainfield, Vermont, is central to this endeavor.

Since the announcement of the current President and Trustees’ intent to close Goddard College, various groups of concerned alumni have begun to organize to counteract this decision. Goddard College alumni are diverse, creative, and passionate about Goddard College. There are likely as many opinions on the path forward as there are alumni.

The mission of this effort—“Save Goddard College”—is to preserve, maintain, and continue as much of the college’s original mission as possible.
