Aiken's Green Roof
The Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources installed its new green roof -- or more accurately, roofs -- this past week atop their home in the George D. Aiken Center.

Convocation 2012
On Sunday, August 26, the Class of 2016 gathered in Patrick Gymnasium for Convocation 2012, the traditional academic year kick-off/welcome ceremony. They weren’t the only “first-years” in the house, as they were joined by new President Thomas Sullivan and his wife, Leslie Black Sullivan ’77. After the events at Patrick, the new class and others in the UVM community marched down Main Street for the candle light induction on the Green.

Day in the Life of UVM
Life is in the details, they say. On Tuesday, October 11, staff from University Communi- cations took this truism to heart, fanning across campus from 5 a.m. to just past mid- night to find the many small stories that, taken together, tell a larger one . The result is a diverse mix of photos, video, and text that capture the multifaceted energy of this one particular “Day in the Life of UVM.”

Through the Eye of a Student
Bobby Bruderle ’11 was given the assignment to spend his final year at UVM photographing the lives of students and his own life, in particular. Many photographs in this essay put us in places (the Green, Oakledge Park, a stats class) and moments (being locked out of your house, reveling in the first day of spring, returning home to family on a break from school) that will resonate with any UVM student present or past.

Farmed Out
Benoit St. Pierre drops one end of a garden hose into a large holding tank filled with liquefied cow manure. Pulling back on a syringe-like stopper attached to his end of the hose, he draws out a cup of clear liquid -- miraculously, given the brown sludge at the surface. The tank and its unappealing contents are more valuable than ...
