Like many other small colleges nationwide, Southern Vermont College in Bennington is confronting an existential threat. Facing declining enrollment, the college of about 350 students will have to defend its accreditation to the New England Commission of Higher Education on February 28th. WAMC spoke with SVC President David Evans about his plans to save the college.

Josh Landes has been WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief since February 2018, following stints at WBGO Newark and WFMU East Orange. A passionate advocate for Western Massachusetts, Landes was raised in Pittsfield and attended Hampshire College in Amherst, receiving his bachelor's in Ethnomusicology and Radio Production. His free time is spent with his cat Harry, experimental electronic music, and exploring the woods.
