Federal
Federal Relations
The Office of Federal, State and Community Relations works closely with
national organizations
and leaders in higher education, the federal administration, the
Congress,
and particularly Vermont's own Congressional delegation to support
higher
education in general and promote the value of the University of Vermont
to
the citizens of the state and society at large. In addition, the
office:
- Seeks opportunities at the national level to advance the
goals
and priorities of the University through Congressional or executive
action
- Monitors federal legislation
and
regulations and advocates for federal appropriations to support
University
programs, research and operations
- Facilitates a
comprehensive,
University-wide process to identify, prioritize, and communicate key
initiatives
for federal legislation and funding
- Links University
students, faculty, and administrators to members of Congress, the
executive
branch, and national organizations on matters of mutual interest
