Across disciplines and in every school and college, students are taking part in exciting community-engaged work, and helping build stronger communities in Vermont and beyond. Each year between 80-100 community-engaged learning courses are offered at UVM. They can be identified by the "SL" or "CL" in the course title and in the online schedule of courses. These courses create meaningful partnerships between students, community partners, and faculty to provide students with hands-on learning in real-world situations.

Community-Engaged Learning: Highlights

  • Ecology restoration site

    ENSC 201: Ecological Restoration

    Students visit restoration sites several times throughout the semester to collect data and make assessments, and also meet with key stakeholders. Student teams then design restoration projects for the site and create adaptive management plans. After further review, they pull together the revised plans into one cohesive plan, and then implement it on-site.
