Dear UVM community,

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the students, faculty, and staff who participated in and who worked to make our 224th Commencement such a special experience. I love the pomp and circumstance, the music, and the energy, and recognize that the work behind the scenes is what makes the magic happen. THANK YOU! Even the less-than-perfect weather did not dampen attendance, and spirits were high as we celebrated the Class of 2025. I also appreciate everyone’s support as we debuted a new format this year, with college and school ceremonies at the Champlain Valley Expo Center. The new location helped make the weekend more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. 
 
Our communications team has put together this short video which captures the celebration shared by our community and thousands of guests over the weekend. You can find many pictures from the festivities in this gallery and other highlights from Commencement on our website. 
 

All the best, 

Linda Schadler
