Feedback Surveys
The Strategic Planning Committee invites members of our community to share their insights, ideas, and reflections to help shape the future of the university. In alignment with Our Common Ground values and a commitment to transparency, this survey is one of several ways for collecting input from students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners. Your feedback will play a vital role in the development of UVM’s mission, vision, and strategic priorities, ensuring the final plan reflects the perspectives and values of our entire community. UVM faculty, staff, and students should use the "UVM Affiliates" link while those without a UVM login should use the "Public Survey" link below.
