University of Vermont Deans The president, provost, and other leaders at the University of Vermont (UVM) are asking us to imagine new possibilities and approaches for UVM. They are doing this because they want our university—and its students and graduates—to thrive for the years, decades, and centuries to come. And, they are doing it now because we are at a pivotal moment for higher education in this nation and around the world.
We may disagree on the merits of some of the plans being proposed, but the commitment and an inclusive approach of our leadership is evident. We must hear and support one another as we move through this process. And we must ensure that our priorities—the education and well-being of our students; the knowledge we create and share; and a strong future for the University of Vermont—remain in place.
We are confident that these are priorities we all share. It is important that they remain front and center as we work together—as faculty, staff, and administrators—to establish our path forward.
