The first annual Defender fall photo contest captured what autumn means to people in the St. Michael’s College community. The images displayed on this page represent the top three photo’s submitted to The Defender on Instagram. Thank you to all who participated.

“The amazing sunsets I see in fall on the Champlain shore always makes Vermont feel like home.” -Hannah Wilmot,’21

“When I think of fall, I think of Vermont.”-Mary Hay, ’20

When Rachel Proctor, ’17, thinks of fall she said she thinks of “leaving the office for the weekend during peak leaf peeping, and the perfect lighting.”

To me fall means a time of reflection and gathering of inner peace through watching sunsets.
