The Vermont State Colleges System is Vermont's public higher education network, comprising the Community College of Vermont and Vermont State University, with offices in Montpelier. It is deeply rooted in Vermont's communities and regions, educating more residents each year than any other state higher education institution and serving as a hub for academic excellence, culture, and civic life. The system emphasizes accessibility, maintaining a classroom within 25 miles of every Vermonter and offering online education options to reach learners statewide. The VSCS describes its mission as serving the benefit of Vermont, and supports the state's economy by aligning programs with employers and communities to boost educational attainment, career readiness, and entrepreneurship. In April 2026, the system appointed Dr. Sherry Kollmann as system vice chancellor and president, marking a notable leadership transition for the organization, which operates from Montpelier to serve Vermonters across the state.
