According to Vermont author Doug Wilhelm, friends and colleagues describe President Joyce Judy as earthy, real, and hard working. During our conversation with this extraordinary educator, you’ll find out that she is all of this and much more as we take a journey from her early years growing up on a working farm in New Hampshire to her long tenure as President of the Community College of Vermont.
Joyce’s passion for bringing education and training to veterans, first-generation college students, working adults, incarcerated people, and everyone in between comes from her honest belief that navigating around scarcity and other challenges isn’t impossible if you can figure out how to utilize the many resources that are around you. This episode introduces you to an educator who has made it a personal mission to deliver the vast array of resources assembled by CCV through its community partners to help her students be personally and professionally successful.

After just one year at the helm of the University of Vermont PACE Department, its Chief Officer Dr. Bettyjo Bouchey is making her presence felt, leading a team of energized professionals who are looking to broaden the impact of their continuing education and professional development programming outside of its Chittenden County footprint.

This thoughtful and entertaining conversation brings us closer to knowing what initiatives were already working, and what collaborative programs are in the pipeline. And along the way we’ll learn a little bit about what brought this Oregon native back to the East Coast and how her extensive and impressive professional experience in both classroom-based and online learning is going to impact the existing and emerging needs of the Vermont workforce in programs like the UVM Summer Academy for high school students, and the PRIME program for members of the Vermont National Guard.

Join us for a fascinating hour of conversation with one of Vermont’s newest and most influential post-secondary educational leaders.

This episode of View from the Top brings the new Lieutenant Governor of the state of Vermont John Rodgers to our studio where host Bill Lucci sets a table for his listeners to feast upon the life lessons John has learned from living and working on the same farm that has been in his family for five generations; the importance of maintaining the culture and values of working-class Vermonters; his contributions to the legislature over the past sixteen years as a Democrat; and his departure across the aisle that led to his historic win in November to become the second most powerful leader in Montpelier.

John's feelings about education reform, conservation, the environment, and the importance of laughter are served with the truth and honesty that have come to define him by friends and critics alike.
