    Goals and Expectations for My Time At Castleton and Beyond Castleton is the perfect environment for me to exercise and apply the ideas expressed in Zakaria’s book, In Defense of a Liberal Education. After reading the assigned book this summer I found that I gained a new understanding of how schools are run, from elementary to higher education.

I was never quite sure what it meant to go to a liberal arts…

Through Fight for Life we are taught what it means to be selfless; we watch our advisors give up all of their free time to make Fight for Life happen.…
