Vermont's Champlain College is going to use a $10 million gift from the founder of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters to improve business education at the Burlington school.

Champlain President David Finney said the Stiller School of Business will become a national leader in teaching certain management practices and building thinking skills.

The gift is the largest in the college's 134-year history. Among other things, the gift will enable the business school to fund two faculty chairs and support capital projects.

Champlain describes itself as providing a "radically pragmatic education" designed to make students ready for life and work at graduation.
