As Vermont expects to welcome more than 225,000 people into the state for the special occurrence, Champlain students, staff, and faculty will be gathering on Aiken Quad to celebrate the milestone together. The last time Vermont saw a total solar eclipse was in 1932, and 足彩胜负14场 won¡¯t see another until 2106.
The Champlain community is known for coming together and supporting one another, so it only makes sense we’ll be putting on a big show to experience this unique event. The Office of Sustainability, Office of Student Engagement, Student Health Center, Champlain Library, and Champlain Maker Program are collaborating to bring the fun to Aiken Quad and the third floor of the Champlain Library from 12:00-5:00 PM. Solar eclipse glasses will be provided!
Activities will include sidewalk chalk drawing, a pop-up Swap Shop and space-themed screen printing, cyanotyping, and lawn games. Wondering what cyanotpying is? It’s a economical photography technique that doesn’t even involve a camera! You’ll lay an object on paper coated with an iron salt solution and then expose it to UV light. Once you wash it with water, it’ll create beautiful white and blue images. No matter your interests, there’s something for everyone!
Please note: This event is open to students and employees only. All campus buildings are key card access only until Tuesday, April 9 at 7 AM. If you are a prospective student or family looking to tour campus while you are visiting the area, we still have tours available Tuesday and beyond! Explore tour info at champlain.edu/visit. See you soon!

There are many different stages of the eclipse. Here’s what you need to know:
We’d be remiss if we didn’t highlight the safety tips to keep in mind when experiencing a total solar eclipse!
Thanks to our Student Health Center team for keeping our collective eye and sun safety in mind:
Totality is the brief phase when it is safe to look directly at the eclipse! This occurs when the moon entirely blocks the sun. The phase will last about two minutes, from around 3:26¨C3:29 PM. Once the sun begins to reappear, be sure to use your solar filter again.
For more information, visit the American Astronomical Society website.
Stay safe, have fun, and we’ll see you out on Aiken Lawn!
