Ask a student what they love the most about Champlain, and they’ll say the Burlington location, or the Upside-Down Curriculum, or the residence halls. But when they really put some thought into the question, they always come back to the same answer: the professors. At Champlain you will have some great teachers who care deeply about your future success. In class, they will inspire you with their knowledge. And they’ll infect you with their enthusiasm.
Their role will go beyond classroom teacher; you will come to recognize them as mentors. As such, they will be a guiding influence on your college journey. You will come to them with questions about class and end up bouncing career ideas off them. Your professors’ doors will be always open for questions about class — or life. They’re here to teach, but they’ll help you with so much more. They’ll help you with your career, be a willing ear to discuss personal and college issues, and even help you find a job.
Before they were teachers, many Champlain professors were professionals at the top of their fields. Indeed, many still are, balancing their work with their teaching. All this real-world knowledge adds up to a big advantage for Champlain students: Our professors bring a lifetime of professional experience to the classroom. And they want to pass it on to you. In addition, Champlain professors are connected to the very professions you want to enter. They have contacts, they know people who matter, and they just might pick up the phone and make a call on your behalf.
