Welcome Back Celebration
The Welcome Back Event is held in the WAGE Center's backyard. The event invites students, staff, faculty, and friends to come together and celebrate the new academic year. Food, refreshments, games, activities, and music will be provided to create a sense of community in the space.
Cookies and Cussing
Each semester, the WAGE Center cordially invites students to partake in the Cookies and Cussing program. Indulge in freshly baked cookies (accompanied by assorted milk for dipping) and liberate your stress by sharing your semester's challenges. Embrace the freedom to use strong language as a way to release pent-up emotions. Join us for an evening of relaxation and unfiltered conversation.
My Meaning of Masculinity (M3)
‘Masculine’ means many things to many people. At UVM, we facilitate a dialogue group, My Meaning of Masculinity (M3), where students, staff, and faculty form their own definitions of masculinity based on their values and identities. With dinner, conversation, and guest speakers, we explore how to express masculinities in ways that align with our values, enhance our well-being, and build supportive relationships across genders so everyone can express themselves and contribute to an inclusive community.
Let's Talk!
Let’s Talk at the WAGE Center offers 30-minute informal drop-in consultations with a CAPS counselor for students of all identities. Our service is non-judgmental and open to all, providing a safe space for students to share their concerns. Appointments are given on a first-come, first-served basis. Confidential space is available for private, in-person, and virtual counseling appointments.
Signing up for one of Tuesday afternoon’s open slots is as easy as dropping into the WAGE Center space and writing your name on the CAPS sheet by the front door. There is no need for prior appointments; just show up and get the support you need.
When you enter the WAGE Center, the counseling office is in our comfortable and bright room on your right. If you have any questions or need assistance, please ask any WAGE Center staff in one of the other offices.
It’s important to note that Let’s Talk is not a substitute for formal counseling and does not constitute mental health treatment. However, counselors can listen to specific problems, provide support, help explore solutions, and provide information about other campus and community resources.
