The program is the same phenomenal, ten-year-old low-residency MFA program in Writing for Children and Young Adults, the first of a handful like it in the country, with the same great faculty and students, the same well-published alumni, but now when I graduate, it will be from The Vermont College of Fine Arts, no umbrella, and it will say so on my diploma. Hoorah!
