Campus Safety comes in many forms—from health and wellness initiatives to emergency response and personal safety. The Catamount Safety Awards are designed to acknowledge activism within the UVM community in the areas of safety, security, health and wellbeing, and promoting a culture of safety on the UVM campus. It takes a community to protect a community. The Division of Safety & Compliance is excited to announce the 2025 Catamount Safety Awards Recipients!
