Want to start a group OR have a new group that you'd like listed?

If you have a new LGBTQ+ group that you'd like us to list below please let us know.  We can also help you get a new group started.  Our student lounge and meetings spaces are available for group meetings & social events.  Please contact us to schedule.

UVM has a vibrant community of engaged LGBTQ+ faculty and staff serving our campus.  Potlucks, dinners and other social gatherings typically happen once or twice per semester. LGBTQ+ faculty & staff can join an e-mail listserv to receive updates and announcements by e-mailing Prof. Val Rohy and requesting to be added.

UVM Connect now offers a platform for UVM alums to promote their businesses, and soon will include a mentorship matching program that allows alumni to offer mentorship services to UVM students preparing to graduate.  There are so many ways to find community and get involved.
