UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT

In the next few years, your life will look entirely different than it does now. And that’s the best news ever.

Because college is a time when you’ll explore, learn, make friends, eat, hike mountains (or ski down them), take risks, ace tests, have adventures, prepare for a career, serve others. The list goes on.

And we might be a little biased, but we happen to believe the University of Vermont is the very best place you could have your college adventure. Your discovery. Your years where you’ll become authentically you.

Because we’re home to some of the top teachers—and researchers—in the world. Who will above all be your professors. Some of the brightest and kindest students.

And some of the most beautiful surroundings in the country. Like the waters of Lake Champlain. The vistas of Mount Mansfield. The bustling streets of Burlington.

The chocolate chunks in a Ben and Jerry’s pint. The piney scent of our air. Cheese. We could go on, but we think we’ll let the rest of this book do the explaining for us.

TURN THE PAGE. And meet the next chapter of your life.

Academic Ecosystem The Lake

THE CAMPUS Home to 10,513 undergraduates, 1,542 graduate students, 459 medical students and 1,685 full- and part-time faculty. And lots of trees. And interesting labs. And…you get it. THE CLASSROOM Forty-nine percent of our classes have fewer than 20 students. Which means more face time with your professors.

You. Here’s where we want you to start thinking about the University of Vermont as an academic ecosystem. Made up of smaller, awesome ecosystems. A whole as amazing as its parts.

Quaintness. Enough said. THE MOUNTAINS The Adirondacks provide a beautiful backdrop to just about every kind of UVM experience. And Stowe, Sugarbush, Smuggler’s Notch and Bolton are just an hour from our campus. Lucky you. And you might hike Mt. Mansfield right away during TREK, our unique, first-year team-building program. THE LAKE Lake Champlain is one of our most useful—and beautiful—classrooms.

Here, there’s always an opportunity to do groundbreaking undergraduate research that helps humankind. For example, Hannah Ward wanted to know: how does trauma affect the human body, and what are its lingering effects?

She began to work with Dr. Matthew Price and our Center for Emotion, Stress and Technology during her sophomore year to answer those questions. By using their resources, along with the resources of our on-campus Medical Center, she saw her honors thesis on cortisol reactivity and future health repercussions all the way through.

WE GIVE THEM OUR BEST HUMANS TO DO THEIR BEST WORK, AND THEY GIVE US PLENTY TO WORK WITH. At the University of Vermont, you won’t just receive a great education—you’ll receive an education that teaches you to think and work on a global scale. Our mission statement calls on us to “create, evaluate, share and apply knowledge to prepare students to be accountable leaders who will bring to their work dedication to the global community.”

So that’s exactly what we set out to do, daily.

Some of Our Labs Don’t Appear on a Campus Map. The world is our classroom, after all.

A great example of this is the Melosira, a research boat where faculty and students learn about water sampling, gill netting, fish trawling, sediment coring, the native trout population and more.

During a class, students might examine tiny silver trout with their bare hands. Their research contributes to larger studies on replenishing the trout population. After they record their findings, they can take in Lake Champlain views. It’s learning at its most scenic, while maintaining the health of an international body of water.

Students can follow class with a snack in the student center, a bike ride on the beautiful trails surrounding Burlington or a coffee downtown with friends. That’s a pretty typical scenario at the University of Vermont. Here, our classrooms take many different forms.

There’s an Art and a Science to Humanity.

The school with the largest number of students, faculty and staff, our College of Arts and Sciences offers a way to combine multiple disciplines with creativity and critical thought.

That's exactly what students do when they participate in UVM's Vermont Legislative Research Service, a group providing non-partisan support to Vermont state legislators with direction from experienced political science faculty. Working in teams, students research questions surrounding current issues, ranging from the environment to health and welfare, strengthening debate leading to laws enacted in the state capitol (opposite, bottom).

We were the first public school to sign the “Real Food Campus Commitment,” which means we pledged to purchase 20% "Real Food" by 2020; goal achieved 2017.

“Real” means that food should fulfill at least one of the following categories: local and community-based, fair, ecologically sound and humane.

Well, not really.

It’s only the beginning.

And we want you to remember this.

C O L L EG E IS ABOUT D I S C OV E R I N G W H O YO U A R E .

And you should be able to do that in a place where everyone is free to be, authentically, themselves.

That’s the reality at the University of Vermont.

But don’t let us convince you.

Come see for yourself.
