Vernita Weller Student Success Advisor

Meet Vernita

Originally from Boston, MA, I have lived in Vermont for many years. I hold a BA in American History, two masters degrees in theology and religion, and am currently a doctoral candidate for Organizational Leadership in Spiritual Formation. Mentoring and counseling young adults has been the focal point of most of my professional life. It was the mentoring support and encouragement of that helped me succeed in my educational journey. As a Student Success Advisor I am honored to provide that same kind of support and encouragement to first-year students of Saint Michael’s College.  One of my favorite things to do is be out and about on campus, engaging with all members of the community. Looking forward to getting to know you!
