The University of Vermont can foster a more inclusive environment for all community members with a campus climate survey. Using data is imperative in driving cultural change by allowing the University to identify areas of improvement and to monitor progress. Furthermore, diversity and inclusion are underlying principles for each of the Our Common Ground values. Thus, it is imperative for us to understand how well we are sustaining an inclusive environment.

Beyond Brave Spaces

Many individuals benefit from accessible, gender-inclusive restrooms including those with disabilities and others who have caregivers or attendants of a different gender; people accompanying small children; and transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming individuals who may be subject to harassment or violence when using gender-specific restrooms. Accordingly, the University supports the option of individuals to use the restroom that meets their individual needs or in which they feel safest.

Gender-Inclusive Restrooms at UVM

The George Washington Henderson Fellowship Program was established to honor the memory of George Washington Henderson, one of the first African American students elected to Phi Beta Kappa and to graduate from the University of Vermont (class of 1877). In cooperation with academic departments, the program sponsors pre-doctoral and post-doctoral scholars who help to advance UVM’s research and teaching goals and assist in reaching identified diversity goals, especially with respect to academic curriculum.
