Our Community: Lyndon Institute prides itself on being a positive presence and contributing member of the community. Our students participate in a number of community service projects. Several on-campus amenities are available to the public: the track (for fitness walking and running), the Simpson Nature Trail (hikes and picnics), the athletic fields (for youth programs), and other facilities host performances and continuing education programs. Vermont has consistently been rated among the top four Healthiest States in the United States for the last thirteen years.
