"Trust that you will always be a part of the Rubenstein School community. We all have confidence in you that you will indeed take the risk and accept the responsibility of consciously creating the future that you want." — Dean Nancy Mathews

 

mortar boardWe honor and celebrate the Rubenstein School Class of 2020!

Congratulations on your many achievements and contributions to the Rubenstein School, the University of Vermont, and our community partners. We celebrate YOU and your academic and personal accomplishments as you launch your careers.

As members of the RSENR Class of 2020, you are well-prepared as engaged citizens and environmental leaders. You have learned the science behind the world's most pressing environmental problems, contributed hundreds of hours of hands-on service to our community partners, and learned to value others' perspectives. Each one of you has cultivated the foundational transferable skills that will propel you into leadership roles. The world needs you and we are counting on you to be collaborative problem solvers.

Enjoy this virtual celebration as we look forward to seeing each other again at a future in-person ceremony for the Class of 2020!
