Committee to investigate new methods to ensure that we are doing all that we can to help our students achieve their goals. Ever since I arrived at Castleton seven years ago, I have been continuously impressed by the expertise and the dedication of the HGEP faculty. They have a genuine commitment to undergraduate education, as evidenced by the fact that their doors are always open to their students. On Friday evenings, long after everyone else has left campus, I routinely see my colleagues working tirelessly at their desks to ensure that their teaching methods and their courses are the best they can possibly be. As previously noted, our doors are always openwed love for you to walk through them and say hi.
