The ISSA is a group of graduate and undergraduate students of Indian origin studying at UVM. The primary goal of ISA is to help the incoming students settle down in the community. The association strives to create a social network of the Indian community on campus and provide them with an opportunity to continue enjoying Indian customs and traditions while being away from home. It also organizes cultural as well as social events all year round and participates in various activities organized by the university. Along with other national as well as international student organizing bodies, it contributes to the vast diversity on campus. This website provides instructions on preparatory travel arrangements, housing facilities, student finances, and tips for getting familiar with the great city of Burlington. If you have any questions, you can contact us directly. You can contact us at isa@uvm.edu or check out ISA.

The purpose of the UVM SACNAS chapter is to cultivate an inclusive and diverse community of graduate and undergraduate students from underserved backgrounds interested in pursuing careers in STEM. As a SACNAS chapter at UVM, our main goal is to create accessible career-building opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs through student-led events such as cross-disciplinary networking, community outreach, graduate school workshops, and academic support. By fostering a community-driven by cultural and intellectual values, the ultimate goal of our chapter is to promote unique perspectives across UVM and the wider SACNAS community.

The mission of MESA is to create networking and mentoring opportunities for current and incoming Middle Eastern graduate and undergraduate students. The overall goal of this organization is to build a community for Middle Eastern students for connecting to cultural heritage and networking, organizing events, meeting other students’, helping prospective students navigate their way in graduate school, and finding ways to peer-mentor other students who are interested in or intend to start graduate or medical school at UVM.

The purpose of the CMC is to provide graduate students and postdoctoral trainees/fellows with advice and skill-building resources that will help them gain access to non-academic STEM field careers, while also providing information about opportunities outside of academia. While the focus of the group is STEM, these skills/advice are transferable and applicable to other fields. Our events consist mainly of monthly seminars during the academic year and an annual STEM workshop. Please feel free to contact us with speaker requests or workshop ideas at mobility@uvm.edu or visit the CMC website for more information.

The purpose of the Rethinking Economics UVM (RE UVM) club is to bring together students, faculty, and other interested participants with diverse backgrounds and perspectives (you don't need to be majoring in economics) to foster economic education that considers our social and ecological embeddedness and complements the mission of UVM for people and planet. RE UVM is meant to provide the space for students to co-learn, collaborate, and network through events and opportunities that expand our understanding and relationship to the economic system beyond what is taught in the classroom. We hope this space can help students be better prepared to confront the economic, social, and ecological challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. The club will open avenues of dialogue among relevant departments and colleges within UVM, such as CDAE, RSENR, the Department of Economics, Grossman, and beyond, about the need to provide a diverse and pluralistic economic curriculum to undergraduate and graduate students.
