The triennially administered UVM Campus Climate Survey is a vital tool for understanding the perceptions and experiences of the Larner community. It helps identify strengths and areas needing improvement, and measures progress on key inclusive excellence initiatives. The data collected informs strategic plans across the university, with the goal of creating a more equitable and inclusive campus environment.
Shared Equity Leadership
From institutional leaders to faculty, staff, and students, every member of our community contributes to fostering an inclusive environment at the Larner College of Medicine.
Strategic Plans
Larner College of Medicine - Vision 2025: A Unified Strategic Plan
Vision 2025 is the result of faculty, staff and students embarking on an inclusive, thoughtful analysis of our mission, values, priorities, and goals, to develop a strategic plan that is woven into our culture, guiding our decisions and actions.
UVM Inclusive Excellence Action Plan
The Inclusive Excellence Action Plan complements Vision 2025 and is the result of an all inclusive process involving a broad set of stakeholders including senior leadership, the University Diversity Council, and every division and College. The plan's goals utilize metrics baselined by the 2022 Campus Climate Survey, demographics, and other data points.
