I am pleased and honored to welcome you to the University of Vermont. The university’s setting in the most scenic state in the nation, along the shores of Lake Champlain between the Adirondack and Green Mountains, makes it one of the most desirable locations in which to live. Offering outstanding opportunities in the arts and year-round recreation, Burlington has been recognized as one of America’s most livable cities.
As you join the UVM community of scholars, you will find that you will never be the same. As the nation’s smallest land-grant university with a college of medicine, the University of Vermont offers all the advantages of a small undergraduate college as well as those of a major research institution. At UVM a remarkably talented and dedicated faculty and student body challenge each other to grow and learn as partners in scholarly endeavors. The University prides itself on its vision as the nation’s premier environmental university as well as its scholarly preeminence in the areas of life sciences, medicine and health, and liberal education. Students and faculty at the University of Vermont form a passionate partnership in teaching and learning, from undergraduate students in the full complement of available majors and the innovative Honors College, to graduate students in scores of disciplines and future physicians and medical researchers in the College of Medicine. The remarkable rise in national prominence of the University of Vermont is a response to the intellectual challenges offered to the UVM community by President Daniel Mark Fogel.
I do hope you take the opportunity to use this website to get to know the many
members of the UVM community and their accomplishments.
