Promoting Health and Safety

TIP: Have a plan – know where you are going, who you are with, and how you will get home safely….and tell someone your plan.

The health and safety of our students is UVM’s primary concern. Below you will find a list of helpful programs, services, and resources that exist to assist students in staying healthy and safe while in college.

At times, university life can be very, challenging. If you have concerns that a student you know is in trouble, or feel you yourself are in need of support, the staff in the Dean of Students Office is a good place to turn to for help. For more information, or to seek out assistance, please contact Vivian Garay Santiago, Assistant Dean for Retention and Assessment at 802-656-3829 or complete a CARE Report Form

Our goal is for students to: THINK about the impact of their words, actions, or silence; CARE about their community members; and to ACT to end incidents of harm or injustice.
