Special guest host Dr. Michael Robinson discussed the college admission scandal that sent shock waves throughout the higher education landscape with Karen Gross, Esq. former President for Southern Vermont College.
For 8 plus years, I was President of Southern Vermont College, a small, private, affordable, four-year college founded in 1926 and located in Bennington, VT. The College offers a career-launching education with a liberal arts core. The College enrolls many first generation, low-income students and is dedicated to vulnerable student success.
From Jan. 2012 – 2013, I served as Senior Policy Advisor to the US Department of Education in Washington, DC. In that capacity, I was the Department's representative on the interagency task force charged with redesigning the transition assistance program for returning service members and their families, working closely with the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs and Labor.
Prior to becoming a college president, I was a tenured law professor for two plus decades. My academic areas of expertise include consumer finance, over-indebtedness, bankruptcy and community economic development. I served and continue to serve as a consultant to governmental and non-profit/for profit organizations; prior and subsequent to entering into government service, was on various non-profit boards. With a strong interest in athletics, I chaired the NECC and was on the NCAA DIII President’s Advisory Council.
