In its thirty-two
years of existence, the
Center for
Research on Vermont has
established itself as the clearinghouse for Vermont-related research.
As an interdisciplinary network of scholars, the Center serves a number
of constituencies, including state government, public schools,
institutions of higher education, museums, and cultural and social
agencies, and the general public. (The Center was officially launched
in March 1975 with the opening of a public conference, "Focus:
Vermont." Papers from this conference were edited by the late
University of Vermont Professor of Theatre George B. Bryan and
published under the title, "Focus:
Vermont
1975", the Center's first publication.)
The Center's Research-in-Progress Seminar Series and
refereed publications program offer a continuing forum for scholarly
discourse on Vermont. In addition, the Center provides reference
services on Vermont research to its members, educators in a variety of
settings, students, government representatives, the media, and the
public.
The Center for Research on
Vermont coordinates the Vermont Studies
program,
an interdisciplinary minor in the College of Arts and Sciences, in
cooperation with other departments that offer Vermont-related courses.
The minor is available to students in the College of Arts and Sciences
and to students in other colleges that accept Vermont Studies as a
cross-college minor.
Endowment
The
Center for Research
on Vermont and Vermont Studies Program is working to raise funds for an
endowment that will provide funding for public forums that share the
results of research on Vermont-related topics with a wide variety of
audiences. The fund will support symposia, conferences, and other types
of public presentations that discuss important and timely issues for
Vermonters.
Those who wish to support the programs of the Center may send their
contributions—made payable to: The University of Vermont and noting in
the memo line: “Center for Research on Vermont Endowment Fund”—to the
Center (589 Main Street, University of Vermont, Burlington,
VT
