Catamounts do amazing things outside the classroom -
share what you're doing & see what others have done!
This annual photo contest showcases the myriad of ways UVM students are gaining hands-on experiences outside the classroom. Experiences that help solidify their classroom learning, grow their networks, and connect them with on-the-job experiences in industries of interest. Experiences like these add real substance to a resume AND can help build confidence.
- Submit a photo (mid-October - early September annually)
SHARE what you've been doing to help inspire others to pursue experiences that help them build their confidence and competency. And to potentially win $250 - see prize info below...
- Vote on your favs (voting is open Sept 10 - Oct 1 annually)
SEE what others have been doing & get inspired by what is possible... and help fellow students win great prizes...
