Welcome to the Catamount Family!

The University of Vermont's staff and faculty are committed to ensuring your student's college experience is positive and successful throughout their four years. College is a time of great discovery and growth; it can also be challenging and at times overwhelming. Our primary objective is to assist you and your student during this important phase.

Our intent is to make the UVM campus a "home away from home" by offering a full range of services and resources. We are always available to answer questions and discuss difficult situations that families or students may find challenging. 

We invite you to contact our office with any questions or concerns at anytime during your student's UVM career.

Are you struggling to talk to your student about their career goals or aspirations? Not sure how to bring up the conversation or answer their questions? Join Erica Caloiero, Vice Provost for Student Affairs, and Sarah Heath, Director for the UVM Career Center, for a conversation on resources, tips, and tools for starting a dialogue and to help your student navigate their college journey.
