The Prism Center hosts annual signature events, supports other campus and community events including Pride celebrations, and supports programming designed by our students.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME

Kick off each academic year with an open house gathering to welcome new and returning campus community members with pride. Connect with new and old friends and enjoy food, crafts and games. All members of the UVM community welcome including alums, partners, friends, and children.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

A nondenominational holiday gathering and reminder that no matter what your winter break is like, there is an LGBTQ+ affirming community on campus to return to in January.  Join us for crafts, games, and treats!

RAINBOW GRADUATION & AWARDS

Recognizing important contributions to UVM's LGBTQ+ community and celebrating the graduation of queer & trans scholars.

Community Collaborations

We know the value of connecting with communities beyond campus. Prism Center supports and organizes ways for the UVM community to engage in other important identity-affirming and justice-focused events.

March at Vermont Pride

Prism gathers UVM sponsors, organizes banner and sign decorating events, and welcomes all members of the university to march together during the Vermont Pride Parade in Burlington every fall.

Translating Identity Conference (TIC)

TIC is a one-day event with sessions throughout the day geared towards folks of all levels of education and inclusion - the conference is a safe space for trans folks and allies to come together to learn and build community. Founded in 2002, TIC was one of New England’s largest conference focused on transgender identities, issues, and intersections. After a brief hiatus between 2020-2023, TIC returned in the spring of 2024.
