The Celebrating Diverse Voices Display Case was constructed in 2020 to honor and celebrate the institution's commitment to unity, respect, diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. Located on the fourth floor of the Davis Center, it is currently dedicated to increasing the visibility of the work and experiences of UVM's BIPOC community and showcases exhibits created by UVM students, staff, and faculty.

Gender-Inclusive Restrooms at UVM

""

Many individuals benefit from accessible, gender-inclusive restrooms including those with disabilities and others who have caregivers or attendants of a different gender; people accompanying small children; and transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming individuals who may be subject to harassment or violence when using gender-specific restrooms. Accordingly, the University supports the option of individuals to use the restroom that meets their individual needs or in which they feel safest.

The University of Vermont strives to create and sustain a campus environment that supports and values all members of our community, including students, employees, and visitors. As part of that effort, UVM allows all students, staff and faculty to use a lived name in University records and systems when a legal name is not required.  Users can also elect to display their pronouns in systems that support it.
