Lebanon College To Close; School Cancels Fall Classes - Maggie Cassidy and John P. Gregg, Valley News

Following years of economic turmoil, Lebanon College has canceled all of its classes for the upcoming fall semester in what is likely “the first step towards closing” the school, President Ron Biron said in an email Monday evening. “Without a substantive increase in enrollment across the board and particularly in the areas of our allied health programs and certificates, we feel this is the first step towards closing Lebanon College,” Biron said in the email. “It truly is disappointing to our entire team (who have) worked on creating an academic culture that is student-centered while adding value to local New Hampshire and Vermont employers. Ultimately, the response was not there!” http://www.vnews.com/news/townbytown/lebanon/13194834-95/lebanon-college-to-close
