to do groundbreaking research that helps humankind. Just ask biology major Doran Forahar, who wanted experience with biomedical research. He found the perfect opportunity in the UVM Larner College of Medicine's Anesthesiology Department, investigating the effects of major surgical stress on the developing brain. His work introduced him to the microtome—a tool that delicately slices tissue just 7-micrometers thin.

It’s in our nature.

SUSTAINABILITY. For some, it’s little more than a buzzword. At UVM, it’s an ethic core to our character, rooted in Vermont’s tradition of environmentalism, progressive thought and action. Through education, research, and practice we advance knowledge and application of approaches critical to the health of people and planet. As a student at UVM, principles of sustainability come to life in the courses you take, the buildings where you live and learn, and the commitment you find in our faculty, students, and local community.

WE MEAN GREEN: #1 Green MBA in the United States, Princeton Review 49% of campus waste is recycled 25% locally resourced food in campus dining halls Gold-Level Bike Friendly University, League of American Bicyclists

A "Top 50" Green School in the United States, Princeton Review

IN OUR RESEARCH Melting ice sheets on Greenland, farms across the Northeast, urban planning projects, and new energy development are some of the areas where you’ll find faculty leading research— assisted by undergrads— to unravel sustainability challenges and shape viable solutions, for the world.

IN OUR PRACTICE Locally sourced materials— from the slate roof to the maple interior trim—are found throughout the Davis Student Center. Next door, the Aiken Center boasts a green roof, both a teaching resource and a best practice. They are two of fourteen buildings on campus that are LEEDcertified, denoting environmentally responsible building practices.

IN OUR CURRICULUM Yes, our Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, cross-disciplinary Environmental Program, and Gund Institute for Environment are international leaders.

But at UVM, sustainability also leaps academic boundaries. Seventy-five percent of UVM departments offer sustainabilityrelated courses, and 100 percent of our undergraduates take at least one sustainability course through our general education requirement.

IN OUR ACTIVISM UVM student voices are strong.

Creating and enhancing campus waste recycling programs, ending the sale of bottled water on campus, and divesting from fossil fuel investments are just a few of the sustainability issues where student activism has been pivotal in pushing the university to a higher standard.

The world is our classroom, after all.

A great example of this is the Melosira, our research boat on Lake Champlain, the nation's largest body of freshwater after the Great Lakes—just a mile from campus.

During a class, students might examine tiny silver trout with their bare hands. Their research contributes to larger studies on replenishing the trout population. After recording findings, they can take in Lake Champlain views. It’s learning at its most scenic, while maintaining the health of an international body of water.

UVM's faculty expertise in food systems stems from being the first to offer bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs in food systems.

Production, safety, distribution, marketing—food represents an essential industry and offers careers in science, business, engineering, and health.
