About Envisioning

If the University of Vermont is to become a catalyst, a model, and an engine of change—a driving force that leads society by design to a sustainable and desirable future, then we must create a shared vision for UVM.  Without a coherent shared vision of what the model university would look like, there will be no united effort to take us from here to there. Shared visions can arise through participatory democratic processes, or through the persuasive rhetoric of charismatic individuals.  The vision for the UVM of the future must incorporate a diversity of perspectives and be based on principles of fairness and respect.
