Sanders' successor, Christine Plunkett, quit in 2014 amid allegations of financial mismanagement, including that the college had used scholarship funds to pay for operating expenses. An interim management team guided the cash strapped school through the final months of 2014, and sold some of its North Avenue campus to a developer for $7.5 million. Moore, a former Lyndon State College president, came to Burlington College to help the institution get back on solid financial footing. This year, the college raised $10 million in its first major capital campaign.

She encouraged her fellow graduates to look forward to their futures, but to never neglect the past.
