ORGANIZATION'S MISSION STATEMENT
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 AND PART III, LINE 1
SAINT MICHAEL'S COLLEGE IS A CATHOLIC LIBERAL ARTS RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE COMMITTED TO THE PURSUIT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, WITH AN UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 2,000 STUDENTS AND 500 GRADUATE STUDENTS. WE CREATE AND SUSTAIN AN OPTIMAL LIVING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES A VIBRANT INTELLECTUAL LIFE AND CHALLENGES STUDENTS TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES TO EXTEND THEIR MINDS AND EXPERIENCES WITHIN AND BEYOND OUR VERMONT LOCATION.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
FORM 990, PART III, LINES 4A, 4B, 4C, AND 4D
ACADEMIC PROGRAM AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT (LINE 4A) The academic program is at the heart of the College's Mission and the reason for Saint Michael's College existence. The College provides education with a social conscience, producing graduates with intellectual tools to lead successful, purposeful lives that will contribute to peace and justice in our world. Saint Michael's College students personalize their education through research, internships, and small classes, preparing them for a lifetime, not just for their first job out of college. The academic program is rigorous and calibrated to the appropriate developmental levels of students (first-year students through graduate level). The undergraduate academic program offers degrees in 22 different majors for the Bachelor of Arts Degree and 10 majors for the Bachelor of Science Degree. Students may also, choose from 34 minor programs. The academic program for graduate students includes 3 programs leading to Master's degrees in Clinical Psychology, Education and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Saint Michael's College awarded 482 Bachelor's degrees and 113 Master's degrees during 2011-2012 academic year with, 1936 students enrolled in Baccalaureate degree programs and 571 in Master's degree programs. The class of 2012 had 423 graduates in May, of which 249 or 59% also earned Minors and 25% of those students earned more than one minor. After receiving a Bachelor's degree from Saint Michael's College, over 95% of our students enter the work force in a variety of careers or continue their education in a post-graduate program. The 4 year average (2003 - 2006) student-right-to-know completion or graduation rate is 79%; this compared favorably to the 70% reported by Act National Graduation rates for private 4-year institutions offering only bachelor's degrees in the selective category. The College's goal is to have 30% of each graduating class study abroad. Over 20 third party program providers offer students opportunities to study in over 70 countries and the College has met this goal for the last 5 academic years. The College has made strides in educating students beyond the classroom in preparation for their careers after graduation. In 2011 - 2012, 253 students engaged in supervised academic internships, compared with 265 in the previous year. In the summer of 2012, 47 students were engaged in independent research with professors, and this compares with 46 students in the summer of 2011 and 38 students in the summer of 2010. The College has a robust honors program which began in the late 1980's, and recognizes high achievement among our students. In 2012, 53 students (or 11% of the senior class) graduated in the honors program. In the spring of 2013, 425 students from all four classes, about 22% of the student body, were members of the honors program. In addition, Saint Michael's College shelters a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, Delta Epsilon Sigma and eleven discipline based honors societies with nearly 150 members of the class of 2012. In 2003 Saint Michael's College joined the elite group of 280 colleges nationwide with Phi Beta Kappa chapters, making Saint Michael's College one of the only 22 Catholic Colleges in the U.S. with such a chapter. The College is identified in the 2013 Edition of the Princeton Review as one of the Nation's best 377 Colleges, is included in the prestigious Fiske Guide to Colleges in 2013 and deemed a best buy. Saint Michael's College is rated as a top 100 liberal arts college by the U.S. News and World Report and ranked 176th out of 650 best undergraduate institutes in Forbes magazine's America's Top Colleges' Edition. In 2013 Saint Michael's College was selected by the Carnegie Foundation as one of only 41 baccalaureate arts and science colleges nationwide in its community engagement classification, an area they define as the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a contest of partnership and reciprocity. Every five years the Vermont Department of Education conducts a performance review of all the educator programs. Saint Michael's College underwent the process in October 2011 and received full approval for all licensure programs. We are particularly proud of the seven commendations from the review. No other teacher preparation program has ever received more than three. The academic program is supported by many professional and administrative staff including information technology (IT), academic enrichment programs, library and information services (LIS), registrar's office, the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Dean. The IT department is committed to creating a robust technology environment for the College's students, faculty and staff. They support administrative applications, instructional technology services, all of which support the mission and goals of the College by providing ITs constituents with a reliable, secure, and fast campus network; support for the appropriate integration of technology into teaching and research; and technology support for administrative operations. Saint Michael's College is committed to students' academic success therefore, in addition to academic enrichment programs designed to enhance the learning experience, a variety of services are offered to ensure that our students get the most out of their education including independent studies, Peace and Justice Center, Women's Center, service learning, student/faculty research and internships to name a few. These services and activities are designed to assist our students in enhancing their learning opportunities in order to achieve their fullest intellectual development. Academic enrichment also supports faculty in offering extra-curricular activities that enhance their classroom teaching and in designing innovative components to their courses that foster experiential learning. LIS provides students, faculty, and staff with the information resources and services they need for study, teaching and research. The library strives to determine community needs and respond to them by shaping its resources and services to provide the best possible support for the academic program. In order to support our students attending Saint Michael's College, a variety of grants and assistance are awarded. Refer to schedule I, Part IV for additional information. Auxiliary Enterprises (line 4B) In 2003, The Board of Trustees affirmed in the College's Mission statement that being a member of the residential community is central to our students' experience at Saint Michael's College, by endorsing a 100% residency requirement. In addition to expenses associated with on-campus dining services, auxiliary services expenses include residence hall bond interest, depreciation expense and costs related to the bookstore, printing and mailing services, special events, summer playhouse and other auxiliary programs that support our students' living and learning experience at the College. As part of the residential experience, there are unique housing options available on campus based on common interests that students share such as GREAT (Growing Recognition of the Effects of Alcohol on Thinking) with 150 students, honor housing (51 units) and Ambassador housing (48 Units) which provides an opportunity for U.S. students to live with international students. Dining on campus provides the social experience essential to a well-rounded campus life.
STUDENT SERVICES (LINE 4C)
Students are at the center of the College's Mission. While the academic elements are foremost, supporting the students' personal development is vital as well. The offices of admissions, student life, Edmundite campus ministry, wilderness program, athletics and many student clubs work to enhance students' personal growth as well as their academic success. To supplement the academic culture on campus and enrich overall quality of the college experience, a variety of weekend programs is offered to students, along with many outdoor programs such as the ski pass, cultural and artistic events through the Flynn center-Saint Michael's College cultural pass, a variety of ministry programs, and community service opportunities through Move (Mobilization of Volunteer Efforts.) Approximately 80% of students are involved in some form of intercollegiate, intramural, club, recreation, personal fitness, or wilderness program offering. Approximately 21% of Saint Michael's College students participate in one of the 21 varsity sports. Our student athletes have achieved a 99% academic success rate (ASR); a statistic defined by the NCAA as a measurement of graduation within a 6 year cohort time period as of June 2012. Saint Michael's College has been recognized as a recipient of the first Division II Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence as a member of the Northeast-10 Conference, achieving the highest four year ASR. A total of five Northeast-10 athletic programs made the list. The office of student activities strives to provide students opportunities to develop as ethical leaders and engaged citizens, and offers a wide variety of programs and activities designed to meet their needs. Our Got Skills program (Socially just, Kindness toward others, Inclusive toward all people, Leading at every turn, Listening with care and, Self-respectful) focuses on promoting human dignity and diversity. Educational programs offered in the residence halls help to bring people together who might not have otherwise met, help people to better know each other, and expose individuals to new ideas and beliefs. Floor visitors' dialogue programs provide an environment conducive for faculty, staff and student dialogue about academic and community pursuits. These are a sample of the programming offered to students in the residence halls. The office of student activities assists the student government on campus as well as student clubs. Approximately 95% of the student population participates in student activities programs. The College embraces and supports students' commitment to community services reflected by the fact that 65% of our students participate in a service activity through our MOVE program - part of Edmundite Campus Ministry. The fundamental objective of Edmundite Campus Ministry is to help students', faculty and staff reflect on and celebrate the spiritual and religious dimensions of their lives while at Saint Michael's College. Programs such as retreats, liturgies, spiritual direction, and prayerful reflection meals are designed to encourage everyone to step back and experience life at its deepest, most meaningful level. About 15% of our student population is involved in weekly or daily worship as well as attendance in these programs. Other Program Services (Line 4D) Other program service expenses include public service and research.
GOVERNING DOCUMENT CHANGES
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 4
The Amended Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Board of Trustees were amended February 10, 2010 but there were no significant changes that affected the overall mission or operations of the College.

FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11
Form 990 schedules are prepared by College personnel with guidance and review from external tax preparers who sign and file the form.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
The Secretary of the College distributes the conflict of interest policy, questionnaire and certification annually to trustees, officers and key employees. The Secretary reviews the responses and potential conflicts are brought to the Trusteeship and Mission Committee for review and resolution. A list of interlocking boards is maintained to assist in determining if potential conflicts arise during the year. The Trusteeship and Mission Committee submits names for board recruitment and vets any conflict issues. This Committee provides information to the Executive Committee for consideration and nomination.
DOCUMENT RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION POLICY
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 14
The College has a high-level document retention and destruction policy and follows specific guidelines provided by the Internal Revenue Service and relevant regulations with respect to records retention and destruction - including the provisions of Vermont Law (9 VSA Part 3 Chapter 62 Subchapter 4 Document Safe Destruction Act) with respect to disposal of documents containing confidential information. Another resource utilized by the College is "Record Retention and Disposal: A Manual for College Decision Makers", which provides the College with a guide to the applicable laws, regulations and other considerations for all areas of our business, including employment and admissions applications, payroll, student records, financial, tax and contributions records as well as federal reporting specific to the higher education industry.
COMPENSATION POLICY
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, excluding the College President, is responsible for establishing and maintaining a competitive compensation program for the executive officers of the College. The Executive Committee meets as needed to review the compensation program and make recommendations for any changes. The Executive Committee has the responsibility for decisions regarding compensation in all its current and potential forms for the executive officers of the College. The Vice President of Human Resources provides independent compensation data, e.g. NACUBO, CUPA, etc. and analysis to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee meets annually, usually while the Trustees are here for the March or June Board meeting, to review survey data regarding compensation for the President and other officers of the College. The last meeting was in June 2012.
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE POLICY
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19
