Bio
Beth joined Vermont Academy after working for five years as the Director of Advancement at the American School in London, England (ASL). She credits the school with helping her develop greater cultural competency skills. Prior to ASL, Beth spent eighteen years in the United States working in leadership positions with Princeton University, Princeton HealthCare System, and Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. Past positions also include running a community arts agency and fundraising for the Henry Ford Estate at the University of Michigan.

From overseeing the development of new nonprofits to raising record breaking gifts that helped fund a new hospital, Beth credits continued education as the key to a productive career. She obtained her Master’s Degree in Organizational Dynamics from University of Pennsylvania as a mid-career professional and new mother, writing her thesis on the use of positive organizational psychology in fundraising.

Beth lives on campus with her husband John, a retired book publisher, and two dogs. Their daughter Kira is a freshman at Marist College in New York.

The Campaign for Vermont Academy's Future

Priority #3: Revitalizing Our Campus with Pride

Our community is central to everything we do and makes Vermont Academy a place like no other.

In these unprecedented times of crises, the student experience has become front and center — being able to safely socialize, study together, and lean on each other as family in the face of mounting uncertainty.

By providing a small and supportive community, our students feel known and are encouraged to grow and discover their voices. Our residential program is an integral part of our students’ lives. Living with peers and dorm parents strengthens the relationships within our community. Our day students also are often found on campus far after the academic day has concluded, visiting friends in their residence halls, studying in the library or chatting in the dining hall.

This campaign will build the foundation for exceptional student experience by renovating students’ homes — their dorms — to provide a safe, accessible, and comfortable environment so students can focus on what’s important — their own individualized education.
