The **University of Vermont and State Agricultural College**, commonly referred to as the **University of Vermont** (**UVM**), is a [public](/source/Public_university) [land-grant](/source/Land-grant_university) [research university](/source/Research_university) in [Burlington, Vermont](/source/Burlington%2C_Vermont), United States.[6] Founded in 1791, UVM is the oldest university in Vermont and the fifth-oldest in [New England](/source/New_England). Roughly coinciding with Vermont's statehood, the plans for and development of the university date back to the days of the [Vermont Republic](/source/Vermont_Republic), making it unique among public universities in the US to be at least planned and organized outside of an admitted state in the nation.[7]

UVM comprises ten colleges and schools, including the [Robert Larner College of Medicine](/source/Robert_Larner_College_of_Medicine), and offers more than 100 undergraduate majors along with various graduate and professional programs. The [University of Vermont Medical Center](/source/University_of_Vermont_Medical_Center), has its primary facility on the UVM campus. It is [classified](/source/Carnegie_Classification_of_Institutions_of_Higher_Education) among "R1: Doctoral Universities—Very high research activity".[8]

In athletics, UVM's teams, known as the [Catamounts](/source/Vermont_Catamounts), compete in [NCAA Division I](/source/NCAA_Division_I), primarily in the [America East Conference](/source/America_East_Conference) and [Hockey East Association](/source/Hockey_East).

## History

### 18th century

The University of Vermont in 1845

[Old Mill](/source/Old_Mill_(University_of_Vermont)), the oldest campus building

[Billings Memorial Library](/source/Billings_Memorial_Library), built in 1883, was the university's library until 1961 when the larger Guy W. Bailey library was built.

The University of Vermont was founded as a private university in 1791, the same year Vermont became the fourteenth U.S. state. The university enrolled its first students ten years later.

### 19th century

Its first president, Daniel C. Sanders, was hired in 1800, and served as the sole faculty member for seven years. Instruction began in 1801, and the first class graduated in 1804. In 1865, the university merged with Vermont Agricultural College (chartered November 22, 1864, after the passage of the [Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act of 1862](/source/Morrill_Land-Grant_Acts)), emerging as the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College. The university was granted 150,000 acres, which it sold for $122,626.[9] Much of the initial funding and planning for the university was undertaken by [Ira Allen](/source/Ira_Allen), who is honored as UVM's founder. Allen donated a 50-acre (20 ha) parcel of land for establishment of the university. Most of this land has been maintained as the university's main green, where stands a statue of Allen.[10] The citizens of Burlington helped fund the university's first edifice. When it was destroyed by fire in 1824, they also paid for its replacement. This building came to be known as "[Old Mill](/source/Old_Mill_(University_of_Vermont))" for its resemblance to New England mills of the time. The [Marquis de Lafayette](/source/Marquis_de_Lafayette), a French general who became a commander in the American Revolution, while in Vermont laid the cornerstone of Old Mill, which stands on University Row along with [Ira Allen Chapel](/source/Ira_Allen_Chapel), [Billings Library](/source/Billings_Memorial_Library), Williams Hall, Royall Tyler Theatre, and [Morrill Hall](/source/Morrill_Hall_(University_of_Vermont)). A statue of Lafayette stands at the north end of the main green.[10]

UVM was the first American institution of higher education with a charter declaring that the "rules, regulations, and by-laws shall not tend to give preference to any religious sect or denomination whatsoever".[10]

In 1871, UVM defied custom and admitted two women as students. It was the first American university to admit women (1875) and [African Americans](/source/African_Americans) (1877) into [Phi Beta Kappa](/source/Phi_Beta_Kappa), the country's oldest collegiate academic honor society.[11]

[Justin Smith Morrill](/source/Justin_Smith_Morrill), a U.S. Representative (1855–1867), and Senator (1867–1898) from Vermont, author of the [Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act](/source/Morrill_Land_Grant_Colleges_Act) that created federal funding for establishing the U.S. land-grant colleges and universities, served as a trustee of the university from 1865 to 1898.

### 20th century

In 1924, UVM's WCAX, now called [WVMT](/source/WVMT), sent out the first radio broadcast in Vermont. It was run by UVM students and faculty before being sold in 1931. WCAX is now the call sign of a [commercial television station](/source/WCAX-TV).[12] A new radio station was set up in 1955, dubbed [WRUV](/source/WRUV). It currently runs an FM broadcast at 90.1 MHz and an internet stream at [wruv.org](http://wruv.org/). The station, run by students, faculty, and local community members, dubs itself *Burlington's Better Alternative*[13]*.* It is known for playing a wide range of music, boasting "the largest catalog in the State of Vermont" at over 50,000 albums.[13]

In the second half of the 20th century, UVM gained a reputation for its [political activism](/source/Student_activism), and struggles ensued on campus between student and faculty activists and the university administration. In 1953, the university's board of trustees ousted [Alex B. Novikoff](/source/Alex_B._Novikoff), a tenured professor and cell biologist in the [College of Medicine](/source/Robert_Larner_College_of_Medicine), over his association with the [Communist Party](/source/Communist_Party_USA).[14][15] In March 1957, student protests against a motel owner who [refused service](/source/Racism) to an African-American woman led the [Vermont General Assembly](/source/Vermont_General_Assembly) to outlaw discrimination in public accommodations.[16] For 73 years, UVM held an annual "[Kake Walk](/source/Cake_walk)" where students wore [blackface](/source/Blackface), until the practice was abolished in 1969 under pressure from the student body and the community.[17][18]

In 1972, the board of trustees intervened again to deny tenure to [Michael Parenti](/source/Michael_Parenti), a popular [Marxist](/source/Marxism) [political science](/source/Political_science) professor who drew ire from the authorities due to his participation in anti-war demonstrations. The board overrode the recommendation of the faculty, the deans' council and the administration. Parenti later brought a federal suit against the university, which was settled out of court for $15,000.[15]

In the 1980s, the university faced increasing pressure from the student body to [divest](/source/Disinvestment_from_South_Africa) from companies doing business in [apartheid](/source/Apartheid) [South Africa](/source/South_Africa).[19] Student protests against investment in apartheid culminated in the construction of a "shantytown" on the green across from the Waterman building on October 12, 1985. On December 6, the board voted 12-7 to divest.[20]

### 21st century

UVM has undertaken several other divestment actions due to advocacy from student groups, including divestment from "[Sudan](/source/Sudan)-friendly" companies in 2006, during the [Darfur genocide](/source/Darfur_genocide_(2003%E2%80%932005)),[21] and divestment from [cluster munitions](/source/Cluster_munition) and [depleted uranium](/source/Depleted_uranium) weapons in 2009, during the [Iraq](/source/Iraq_War) and [Afghanistan wars](/source/War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80%932021)).[22][23] In 2013 and 2016, trustees rejected calls to divest from fossil fuels.[24][25]

On July 1, 2019, [Suresh Garimella](/source/Suresh_Garimella) was appointed UVM's 27th president.[26] Under his tenure, the university faced record enrollment and a 50 percent increase in research funding to $250 million; however, he has been criticized for his [public relations](/source/Public_relations) with students and faculty.[27] In 2021, the university administration imposed budget cuts that terminated three departments, 12 majors, 11 minors and four master's degree programs in the College of Arts and Sciences.[28]

In 2020, under pressure from a student campaign, UVM trustees voted unanimously to divest from fossil fuels by July 2023.[25]

In 2022, the [U.S. Department of Education](/source/United_States_Department_of_Education) opened an investigation into the university's response to [antisemitism](/source/Antisemitism) on campus based on a Title VI complaint filed by [The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law](/source/Louis_D._Brandeis_Center_for_Human_Rights_Under_Law) and [Jewish on Campus](/source/Jewish_on_Campus).[29][30] The investigation concluded in April 2023, after the university and the Office of Civil Rights settled in a voluntary resolution. A press release from the Department of Education stated that the university failed to adequately respond to incidents.[31] University administrators denied the allegations, insisting that they responded appropriately.[32] The university agreed to adopt new practices around bias reporting, edit their discrimination and harassment policies, and provide extra training to staff and students,[33] but it did not adopt the demands of the complainant. The Department of Education did not make a finding of guilt or wrongdoing or create new federal policy in closing the investigation.[34]

In October 2023, UVM's Division of Safety and Compliance abruptly canceled a planned guest lecture by [Palestinian](/source/Palestinians) author [Mohammed El-Kurd](/source/Mohammed_el-Kurd), citing an inability to provide adequate "safety and security" for the event. An investigative report by [Seven Days](/source/Seven_Days_(newspaper)) found no evidence of threats related to the event.[35]

The university's graduate students voted to [unionize](/source/Unionization) with the [UAW](/source/United_Auto_Workers) in March 2024.[36] In April 2024, UVM's chapter of [Students for Justice in Palestine](/source/Students_for_Justice_in_Palestine) established a protest encampment on the Andrew Harris Commons, demanding transparency in the university's endowment and divestment from "all weapons manufacturers, Israeli companies, and companies involved in the occupation of historic Palestine." They also demanded that the university cancel a planned commencement speech by [Linda Thomas-Greenfield](/source/Linda_Thomas-Greenfield).[37]

## Seal

The university first adopted an official seal in 1807. The seal depicts the sun rising over the Green Mountains with the original college edifice, now the remodeled Old Mill. It includes a diagram of [Euclid](/source/Euclid)'s "windmill proof" of the [Pythagorean theorem](/source/Pythagorean_theorem), a globe, and a [sextant](/source/Sextant). It includes the motto "Universitas V. Montis. A.D. 1791" in the outer ring "Collegiumque Agriculturae" in the inner one, noting the establishment of the College of Agriculture in 1865.[38]

## Academics

Offering over 100 undergraduate majors, the university comprises seven undergraduate colleges, an honors college, a graduate college, and a medical college.[39] The University of Vermont is [accredited](/source/Higher_education_accreditation_in_the_United_States) by the [New England Commission of Higher Education](/source/New_England_Commission_of_Higher_Education).[40] Bachelors, masters, and doctoral programs are offered through the [Robert Larner College of Medicine](/source/Robert_Larner_College_of_Medicine), the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education and Social Services, the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, the Graduate College, the Grossman School of Business, and the [Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources](/source/Rubenstein_School_of_Environment_and_Natural_Resources).[41] The Patrick Leahy Honors College does not confer its own degrees; instead, students concurrently enroll in one of the university's seven undergraduate colleges.[42]

In 2015, the university launched a wellness program called the Wellness Environment (WE) a substance-free residential program that gives interested students access to fitness and nutrition coaches, has daily yoga instruction, round-the-clock meditation sessions, and a mentorship program that pairs them with a Burlington youth.[89] In the fall of 2017, the Central Campus Residence Hall completed construction, and now houses nearly 700 residents in the Wellness Environment.

Thanks to an organization known as GIRT, or Gender Inclusive Restroom Taskforce, the University of Vermont has a growing number of single-occupancy, gender-neutral bathrooms for use by non-binary and gender non-conforming students, faculty, and visitors.[90]

### Outing Club

The UVM Outing Club was established in 1913 and is the largest outing club in the country. The club is student-run and offers kayaking, canoeing, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, ice climbing, backcountry skiing, and nordic skiing trips.[84] The club has assisted with the formation of TREK, an outdoor pre-orientation student program that takes incoming freshman on 5 day excursions to connect them to the UVM community and the State of Vermont.[91] Annually, the club runs the Catamountain Classic event, in which participants hike all 272 miles of the Long Trail in one weekend.[92]

### Events

UVM Program Board (UPB) is responsible for bringing campus events and activities to the UVM community.[93] In recent[*[when?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items)*] years, UPB has organized events like the annual SpringFest featuring comedian [Michelle Wolf](/source/Michelle_Wolf), [Two Door Cinema Club](/source/Two_Door_Cinema_Club) and [Laverne Cox](/source/Laverne_Cox). It also runs [battles of the bands](/source/Battle_of_the_Bands), weekly pub quiz tournaments, and international film and food events.[93]

### Concerts

[Ira Allen Chapel](/source/Ira_Allen_Chapel)

In addition to campus events, UPB organizes live musical entertainment event featuring acts from across the country as well as local bands. UPB is composed of four committees, one of which is a concerts committee. The concerts committee learns about various aspects of the music industry by putting on shows and working with local sound and production professionals. Students are in charge of choosing and booking bands and are responsible for all production aspects on the day of the show.

The Concert Bureau was established in 1971, inviting artists such as [R.E.M.](/source/R.E.M.), [Phish](/source/Phish) (three of its four members attended UVM in the 1980s), [Red Hot Chili Peppers](/source/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers), [Sting](/source/Sting_(musician)), [Lou Reed](/source/Lou_Reed), [Primus](/source/Primus_(band)), [The String Cheese Incident](/source/The_String_Cheese_Incident), [James Brown](/source/James_Brown), [Bob Dylan](/source/Bob_Dylan), [The Allman Brothers Band](/source/Allman_Brothers_Band), [Death Cab for Cutie](/source/Death_Cab_for_Cutie), [Jurassic 5](/source/Jurassic_5), the [Disco Biscuits](/source/Disco_Biscuits), [The Grateful Dead](/source/The_Grateful_Dead), [Guster](/source/Guster), and [The Flaming Lips](/source/The_Flaming_Lips).

### Greek life

The University of Vermont Greek community is one of the oldest in the nation, with the first fraternal organization starting in 1836. 5% of male students and 5% of female students join Greek life. Fraternity and sorority members become involved in Student Government Association (SGA) and work as Orientation Leaders, advocates, and Residence Assistants.

## Sustainability

The University of Vermont has a long history of environmental sustainability on its campus.[94] In 2024[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Vermont&action=edit), *[The Princeton Review](/source/The_Princeton_Review)* placed UVM in 16th place among the "Top 50 Green Colleges" in the country.[95]

### 1990s

In 1995, the Environmental Council at UVM was established to fill a gap regarding a bridge between operations and academics on campus greening issues.[96] The council's first project was to hear presentations from the various environmental programs on campus to provide a baseline scan of campus operation environmental impact. Greening UVM was published in 1998 by the council to establish a baseline on the environmental impact of the campus' operations. During the same year, a recycled paper policy was created and was implemented in 1999.[97] As a community stakeholder in the Lab-XL project, the Environmental Council received an EPA grant to support the *Tracking UVM* project and publication to assess the relative environmental impact and community interest in laboratory chemical waste. Tracking UVM,[98] a follow-up to the Greening UVM report, was published in 2002 and reported on the environmental progress of the university from 1990 to 2000. The University of Vermont's commitment to tracking its environmental performance was recognized in 2004 with Vermont's Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence for this 2002 environmental report card. Tracking UVM is one of the first report cards that track the environmental impact of campus operations in an institution of higher education.

### 2000s

In 2005, UVM's President Daniel M. Fogel signed the institution's Green Building Policy.[99][100] The recycled paper policy was updated in 2006 after two students pushed for the university to commit to purchasing 100% post-consumer, chlorine-free paper for routine copying and printing.[101]

In 2007, President Fogel signed on to the [American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment](/source/American_College_%26_University_Presidents'_Climate_Commitment).[102] In 2008, UVM dissolved the Environmental Council and established the Office of Sustainability that supports sustainability planning on campus, connects operations with academics, and tracks sustainability efforts.[103]

### 2010s

In 2011, UVM released its Climate Action Plan[104] to the American College & University President's Climate Commitment. The Climate Action Plan focuses on the direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the institution's operations. The target dates for UVM's Climate Action Plan were 2015 for 100% carbon neutral electricity (Scope 1)[105] and 2020 for carbon neutral heating, cooling, and fleet (Scope 2).[105] UVM aims to target the net zero emissions for its "Scope 3"[105] sources by 2025.

In 2012, UVM became one of the first institutions nationwide to end the sale of bottled water on campus and mandate that one third of drinks offered in vending machines be healthy options.[106] During the same year, UVM's Board of Trustees passed a resolution to earmark $13 million for the fund, making it the largest challenge to date. Harvard's $12 million green loan fund had been the largest.[107] In March 2012, UVM became fifth school in the nation to sign the "Real Food Campus Commitment",[108] pledging to purchase 20% "real food" by 2020. In April 2017, UVM announced it had surpassed this goal and set a new goal to source 25% "real food" by 2020.[109]

The [Certification for Sustainable Transportation](/source/Certification_for_Sustainable_Transportation) (CST) was founded in 2012 to help improve economic, environmental, and energy efficiency within the passenger transportation sector. The CST is a direct outgrowth of work that began at the University of Vermont in 2005 and now houses the eRating certification, driver trainings, and an array of awareness and education programs. It is a nonprofit operating out of UVM's Extensions office.[110]

In May 2015, UVM introduced a sustainability requirement for all undergraduates, allowing students to choose from pre-approved sustainability classes.[111]

### Present

In April 2023, the university committed to carbon neutrality by 2030.[112] It would pursue investments in renewable energy, electrified buildings and vehicles, reduced vehicle fleets, and [geothermal exploration](/source/Geothermal_exploration).[113]
