A Day of Workshops and Fantastic Performances » Senator Bernie Sanders This past Saturday, more than 150 Vermont students, from fourth grade to college and from around the state, joined me at Vermont State University Castleton for a day of workshops and rehearsals, followed by a student discussion on the importance of the arts and a choral concert. All the performances were fantastic, showcasing some truly talented young people. Once again, this event reminded me how impressive the young people in our state are. It also reminded me how committed teachers, parents, caregivers and community members are to ensuring young people have opportunities to participate in the arts.

Thank you, Senator Sanders, for shining a light on the arts and for bringing Vermont together through them at our Castleton campus. @sanders.senate.gov

Two people stand at a workbench in an engineering lab while examining a metal component and tools laid out on a stainless steel surface. One person holds a cylindrical metal part, while boxes of gloves, measuring tools, and lab equipment are visible nearby, suggesting a hands‑on inspection or repair activity.

A group of people walk together outdoors on a campus pathway while talking. One person gestures with an arm raised as others listen. Trees with autumn foliage and campus buildings are visible in the background, suggesting a guided walk or campus tour.

Four people gather around a workstation in an engineering lab, looking at a computer monitor and electronic equipment on a workbench. Wires, tools, and testing devices are visible on the table, and additional lab equipment and whiteboards appear in the background, suggesting a hands‑on repair or troubleshooting activity.

Two people stand in an engineering lab beside a large blue industrial machine labeled “Essentium.” One person gestures while explaining something, and the other listens. A control panel, computer keyboard, and manufacturing equipment are visible nearby, suggesting a demonstration or discussion of industrial technology.

Thank you to Senator Peter Welch for spending time touring our engineering labs and engaging with students working the repair clinic during ReuseApalooza at Randolph campus yesterday. #ReuseAndRepair
