Intercultural Excellence
UVM’s commitment to inclusive excellence ensures every student has the support, community, and opportunity needed to succeed academically and personally.
Intercultural excellence is foundational to the University of Vermont’s mission of academic rigor, belonging, and student success.
Through the work of the Mosaic Center, Prism Center, Interfaith Center, and Women and Gender Equity Center, UVM equips students with the resources and community support necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex world. These centers foster connection, leadership development, and cultural competence—strengthening the learning environment for the entire campus.
Donor support sustains programs, mentoring, and advocacy that help students navigate barriers and reach their full potential. By investing in inclusive excellence, alumni and donors help ensure that all students are valued, supported, and prepared to contribute meaningfully to society.
Strengthen community and student success by supporting intercultural excellence at UVM.
Areas to Support
The Prism Center
Prism supports and empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students, as well as students whose identities fall in between or expand beyond those categories. We work to create a campus community where people of all sexual and gender identities can thrive.
The Interfaith Center
Bringing resources, support, and education around religion, faith, and spirituality to UVM. Understanding practices and traditions different from our own is an important facet of creating a culture that affirms UVM’s Our Common Ground values.
The Women and Gender Equity Center
The WAGE Center's purpose is to cultivate connection and confidence by developing student leadership, expanding access to student success initiatives, and building community. We achieve this work through expansive programming and events, thoughtful collaborations, relationship building, and community-focused resources for students, staff, and faculty of all identities.
The Mosaic Center
The Mosaic Intercultural Center serves all UVM students, with a focus on joy and excellence at UVM. We seek to realize these lofty aspirations through building community, fostering a sense of belonging, and facilitating programs designed to help students succeed on their terms.
