Summary
Tommie Zito is reviving the former Green Mountain College campus as Z University, launching with a “Christ-centered educational space” under the motto “Let there be light,” aiming to serve students globally by 2027. Though ownership isn’t finalized, Zito says the deal is nearly done and plans to begin construction from scratch, blending volunteers and contractors. He’s already apologizing for the announcement’s rollout and committed to being a community partner, despite backlash in Vermont. With a target of 850–1,000 students and a phased opening starting with 200, Zito is building curriculum, staffing, and accreditation while also attracting media interest — all while balancing his global ministry.
