Trustees approved a series of personnel recognitions, scholarship creations and grant approvals at the June 8 meeting in Castleton.

The board also approved resolution 2026004 granting faculty emeritus (ameritus) status to Dr. Helen Mango in recognition of long service at Castleton.
Scholarships and endowments: Finance & Facilities recommended and the board approved the creation of multiple named scholarship funds including the Cheryl Krill Marin scholarship fund, Lane family scholarship, and the Ryan Cena student expedition fund. Trustees also approved modifications to legacy endowments to broaden accessibility and align donor terms with the consolidated system structure.
